I absolutely love it when I get to photograph families and pets at their own home -- especially in a beautiful place like Westmoreland!
On the blog this week are some of my favorite photos from a session with the Norrod family, including Alison, Daniel, their two dogs (Phoebe Yang and Buddy Love) and their cat, Hogan. Not only did I get the chance to see these lovable furry friends, but I also was able to meet their chickens and see lots of deer out on their stunning property!
Phoebe Yang and Buddy Love are both malti tzus (maltese shih tzu mix), but each have their own personality that comes along with their unique names. Phoebe has been a part of their family for nearly 10 years and was named after the famous Phoebe of Friends. The Yang portion of her name came from her shih tzu ancestry: Alison chose Yang because it symbolizes positivity. For some odd reason, she really enjoys Western movies (which I thought was cute and hilarious!).
Buddy Love loves anything he can eat, and enjoys spending time running around the yard and tagging along for car rides. He's not much a fan of baths, haircuts and being told, "No." Alison says, "He's funny because if he's in trouble, he'll follow you around until you smile or laugh at him."
And Hogan was adopted through New Leash on Life Lebanon when he was only 3 months old -- now he's 11! He's part Maine Coon and acts just like a dog. He even knows commands, enjoys haircuts and loves hunting -- but also loves sitting on your shoulders.
I hope you enjoy these few previews of their beautiful family and home!
