Engagements turn into weddings turn into maternity sessions turn into family photos with three kids and a dog. After fifteen years of this work, my favorite thing is that I rarely get to say goodbye to anyone. I just get to see them again in a new chapter. These are those chapters.

Murphy McGuinness, Finn McCool & the People Who Love Them | Dog Portraits in Hoyt Arboretum | Portland, Oregon

Now there's Finn McCool, a massive Leonberger, and the four of them together are exactly as wonderful as you'd expect. We took it to Hoyt Arboretum, one of my favorite places in the city, and the fall forest did not disappoint.
