Our little pup got sick, and there was nothing we could do but cherish the time we had left with her. For those who have lost a pet, a beloved family member, you know how painful it is and I just wish I could snuggle her soft muzzle one more time or take her for one more walk just to see the pure joy on her face. I really miss my Bianca every single day. I wanted to share one picture, in her honor. Even though you can’t see her cute lil’ mug in this image, I love it because it just shows our little family, the way we were. When my husband saw this image, he laughed and simply said, “Pleasure.” Bianca is in pure heaven being cuddled by us. We were her whole world, and she was ours. I will always love this photo and I can’t thank our friends Kelsy & Butch enough for capturing this session for us. I’m so happy we have these photos because less than 3 months after they were taken we found out Bianca had terminal cancer.  As sad as I am that Bianca is gone, I am so grateful for all the sweet memories we have in our hearts. She meant so much to us.

Seriously, Thor is too cute- I wanted to take him home and cuddle him. So sweet! I also happen to think Kirsten and Carlos are super sweet! We started their winter e-session at Moose & Sadie’s, then headed to Centennial Lakes, the very spot where Carlos proposed to Kirsten. I can’t wait for their May wedding! (I’m really hoping winter will be over by then.)
