Way back in March 2010, I did a senior portrait session with this very same girl, in this very same location, with one of these very same dogs! A few things stood out in my memory from that session:

1.) Being incredibly nervous because I was just starting out in my photography career at the time.

2.) Nikki’s mom getting super excited about the session and telling me how Nikki was “model pretty.”

3.) Nikki telling me about her dream of someday becoming a veterinarian.

It would seem that eight years later, not much has changed; I was still nervous to live up to the expectations of someone who has been following my work for eight years now, Nikki is still “model pretty,” AND she became a veterinarian, too! She also still adores the original black dog she photographed with, Lily, as much as ever. The only real difference of course, is her engagement to this handsome fellow named Dan, and my being (I pray she’ll agree) a MUCH better photographer!

I hope you two enjoy the images, and I look forward to re-uniting at this same spot for your wedding in 2019, pups and all.
