The Newest Members of the Kreitz Family :)

Some of you may know that we lost our longtime family member, Duffy, this summer at the age of 15. It was a very hard time for all of us.

Recently, we decided that our house was just a little too lonely without some canine feet running around. We went to the Humane Society to see if we could find a dog that would fit into our family. Well, big surprise!! We found TWO puppies in need of a home, and just couldn't leave one behind.

So I am proud to introduce Milo and Zoey, the two newest members of our family!!

Here is a quick snap of Ben with the pups on their first night home...

Last week we took the kids and puppies out to the forest preserve to get some photos of them together before sunset... the puppies weren't exactly interested in spending much time taking pics, as there was so much to explore! But I grabbed a few quick shots while I could...

And one of the two babies together :) We just love Zoey's little "beard" and her adorable spotted paws, and Milo's little flopped-over ear is too cute!!

Since I'm pretty much done with photo sessions for the year (unless anyone has a maternity or newborn they need to squeeze in), I just wanted to show off my new babies a bit :)

I think it's finally my last mini-session sneak peek...

OK, I think this is my final preview from my holiday mini-sessions this fall. I meant to get this up sooner, but my life has been such a whirlwind lately that I have fallen a bit behind. Imagine that!!

Anyway, this is K, one of my son's soccer teammates from this fall. K's mom helped coach, and his little brother was always running around at the games too! It was fun to get the boys in the studio for a quick session (the ground was too wet after what felt like the monsoon season passed). Here are individual shots of the boys...

And one of the two together... aren't they cute?! I thought that they might be wild and crazy after seeing them running around at soccer, but they were so well behaved and patient!

Sorry I'm a little slow with your sneak peek... your full gallery will be ready for viewing shortly!

Mini-session Sneak Peek

I enjoyed this mini-session... it was fun to work with a girl who seemed to be having a good time, and who I didn't have to chase or corral or try to stop from escaping!!

I just loved her outfit, and I thought this was so cute when I told her to pose and give me a little "attitude"!!

And I really loved this one... look at those big, beautiful eyes!!

I hope you had fun, and I am so happy I got to photograph you!
