Named for an old-time country musician, Hylo is our 10-week-old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy.

He’s either a Mexican jumping bean, hopping and running and falling and putting everything he can fit in his mouth or he’s completely wiped out, letting his entire body succumb to gravity.  I know from experience just how fast puppies grow, and indeed he is literally growing as I watch.  In an effort not to let his puppyhood slip by undocumented I spent the first week with the camera handy, beginning when I picked him up during a blizzard in Denver.  Hylo has been busy: riding on planes, brewing beer named for him (Rhodesian Red might catch), the meeting and getting to know of his canine sisters, Roux and Prada, a first visit to the cabin, and a lot of shmoozing, sleeping and general puppy antics.

This image was taken the first weekend Hylo was home:

And this one taken this week, just about 10 days later.  I told you; he grows while I watch.

{Hylo is a Sunkissed pup.  We are so thankful to Nancy, Lynn and Michelle!}

Images from a chilly Sunday afternoon engagement shoot with Deborah & Ben.  You can’t spend five minutes with them and not realize how crazy they are about each other, and that energy is completely infectious.

Images from a session with the McClearys, both sets of in-laws, and special appearances by Bernese Mountain Dog, Carson, and Rhodesian Ridgeback, Waldo.  I say more folks should do portraits with adult families. And dogs.
