The holiday family photo season is here! We found a great day to go out to the Legion of Honor and the woods nearby with Gara, Ryan, and the boys. I always like showing a bit of personality in family portraits, especially of kids [ read more … ]

Take a peek at this picture-perfect family of four who walked right out of a magazine: Lauren, Brendan, and their beautiful husky and malamute. I have an especially soft spot for big fluffy dogs and wish I could have spent another hour on the beach just rubbing both of their fuzzy heads 😍 Also, is it just me or do those gigantic footprints look more like bear tracks than dog prints?
