If you don't believe me, see for yourself!

 

This session took place on a beautiful farm down in Cleveland, TN. 

The bench you'll see in the first shot has been in her family for years and years so they toted it along.

This couple is precious (and hilarious, and willing to do anything for a great image, and willing to sweat to death with a nakey newborn in 200 degree weather!) What's not to love? 

I mean, the baby DEFINITELY makes me happy, but the whole family just sends me right over the edge. Can't wait for our next adventure! (Let's think January, hahahahaa!) 

Sometimes the dog is the child....then the real/human/baby/child comes along and things usually change up a bit. I'll admit, I'm always very impressed (amazed, even) when they don't.

 

Families who make their dog-child a brother or sister of the real/human/baby/child have more patience than I can wrap my little brain around. I love watching it happen though.... don't you?

You can watch them interact with each other here.
