Say hello to the Vance Family: Ben, Tiara and their sweet twins Wiley and John. The boys are both five years old just like my Liam! Ben's sister Katie got them a gift certificate for Christmas for a session with me (gift certificates are always available for purchase!). The Vance’s invited me to come to their home to take some family photos with their sweet old pup Sawyer. He is 14 and doesn't travel too well these days.
Sawyer is a mixed breed and the family likes to call him a “Tennessee Brown Dog”, and whatever his mix is has given him the best personality! When asked how the Sawyer got his name, Ben said “When Tiara and I were first dating, we watched the show LOST together – he's named after Sawyer on that show because he's handsome and a little bit sneaky sometimes.” I can relate to that as our Don Draper was named while we were watching Mad Men, and he was very handsome and a little neurotic.
Sawyer loves his sleep time and sitting outside and dislikes bathing more than anything. Ben and Tiara really love that he has always had the most gentle and patient disposition when it comes to children.
The Vance’s rescued Sawyer off of petfinder.com. A random lady had picked up their handsome pup as a stray and posted it on the website. No organization to credit, but I am sure The Vance’s are thanking that lady for saving this sweet dog.
Below are some of my favorite pictures from their session.
