photographer that has shot a portrait session with a dog involved knows that it can be challenging. I recently shot an engagement session with 4 DOGS! It’s tricky to try to contain them and make them photogenic. Not all dogs have been trained as well as my Bokeh boy :). However, Rob and Alicia brought their puppy, Granger to their shoot and I was SO impressed with her. Not only do Rob and Alicia have incredible modeling skills, Granger does too!!! So well behaved! I loved meeting this sweet little family in downtown Fredericksburg for their 2 year anniversary shoot this week.
They are celebrating two years of marriage and they are trying to be consistent and have portraits done every year. Good for them! They’re going to LOVE having their life documented. I kept telling them that shooting their session made me want to do a two year shoot with Michael! I need to put that on my to-do list.
Rob and Alicia have been a part of several shoots in the past few years and so they were pros. The locations were fabulous and the weather cooperated with us. I’m so thankful for a chance to get to know this family of three! They couldn’t have been sweeter or more attractive! :) Enjoy some of my favorites!!
Seriously, so good! 
gorgeous! 
oooh lala! Lovely! 
Her engagement ring is so similar to mine!! love it!
