I absolutely love family photo sessions, especially when they involve puppies! Rachel and Patrick were down in Los Angeles area for the holidays and I got capture the fun, energy, and love within their little family.

Their two dogs were so sweet and affectionate with Rachel and Patrick’s calm demeanor.

Such a cute, kind fam bam! Pasadena City Hall was quiet and peaceful in the morning, and we got to spend time taking photos between the classic columns, bribing the dogs with treats.

Pasadena City Hall family photo sessions are such a classic.

Rachel and Patrick have such calm and kind personalities - the light hit just right as we snapped a few photos of just mom and dad without the puppies. So cute!

Screaming!! These doggies are so fluffy and squishable sleeping in their Daddy’s arms.

Can’t get enough of these! Family sessions with dogs have got to be some of my favorites.
