Autumn Family and Pet Photos in the River Bottom [Claudette & Marc]
Claudette and Marc had plenty of things to celebrate and combined it all for autumn family and pet photos. The couple were recently engaged so it was a perfect time to update family photos with the boys, as well as get a few cute engagement photos.
They also wanted to celebrate their older dog Stella while she’s still full of energy (the river bottom brought out extra energy). While Stella is in her senior years, little Monte is a brand new addition to the family!
After some cute photos with the dogs, they were put back in the warm vehicle so things could be a little more chill for the human members of the family.
We had to work quickly… after a gorgeous autumn week, Claudette and Marc’s photoshoot was scheduled just one hour before the first big snowfall of the season started! It was MUCH colder than these photos let on! ;)



When I was told they wanted some nice photos of Stella because she was getting quite old, I wasn’t expecting such an energetic, excited dog! Stella says age is only a number. You can sense how much she is vibrating internally through the photos ;)


Puppies don’t always respond to my weird dog sounds – they usually work best on adult dogs – but Monte just had to find out where that squeak was coming from!


Their photoshoot was just on the cusp of snow, so it gave plenty of excuses to snuggle for warmth!
