The best part about my job as a photographer is capturing special moments for people.  I love the everyday moments that often occur at my sessions, but I especially love when I am asked to be a part of a special family occasion.   When I first arrived at this home, the children thought nothing more than that I was there for a photo session with them.  However, the biggest surprise was yet to come.  They were receiving a brand new puppy!  Capturing the looks on their faces when their mother walked in the door with their surprise was priceless.  The youngest just kept asking, “Is he our dog?”  Still unnamed at this time, the children temporairaly named him Walter, after a book series they enjoy entitled Walter the Farting Dog.  I haven’t heard yet if this name managed to stick!
