Alaska to Texas Sendoff Session

This family photo session was supposed to be the last I did in Alaska before moving back to Texas. Given each of the drastically different perceptions about Alaska and Texas (igloos and penguins vs tractors and horses), I thought that this was the perfect send off session. Horses in Alaska!! If you read my last blog about the BIG surprise following our maternity photo session, then you know it didn’t exactly work out that way. And that’s okay. Everything worked out just as is should. Then, and for their session also. We were down to the wire scheduling their family photo session, and it happened to be the coldest day of Anchorage’s mild Alaskan winter. ;-) Thank goodness they had a rustic barn for us to utilize for their session! Don’t get me wrong, it was still really cold, as the barn isn’t heated and it was NEGATIVE two degrees outside. You may be able to see the little miss below rocking some hand warmers in the photos, and that was just fine with all of us. She was able to warm her fingers to make the session a little more bearable, and it’s a sneaky little reminder of just how flippin’ cold it was that day. Those and her cute, red little nose! After all, it is Alaska. In their charming Alaskan barn, they had several beautiful horses trying to stay warm, so we just had to include one in their photos. With all the furbabies you may have seen in my photos, I’m sure you can tell that I’m a huge fan of including family pets in your photo session! Even if they have hooves instead of paws. But of course we had to include the newest fur baby additions also. Major cuteness overload with three pretty ladies, a stunning horse and all those cuddly puppies! I’m so excited to finally share their beautiful photos with all of you.
