Life is better with pets, and it makes me happy to see them included in family portraits. Jordan and Tess celebrated their anniversary with a family photo session with wedding photographer, Alicia Yarrish, in Spangdahlem, Germany. Happily, their Australian Shepherds, Koda Bear and Thea joined them!
From Alicia: “Jordan and Tess are such a beautiful couple that loves celebrating their marriage! Add in their two pups? They’re the perfect family!
From Tess: “Our sweet fluffy Aussies Koda Bear (3) and Thea (2) were born in Germany while we were stationed there. Koda Bear is our hyper, fun-loving, adventurous fur baby. Koda Bear has spent lots of time volunteering for the American Red Cross as a Pets and Warriors therapy dog. 
Thea is the complete opposite of her brother. Though she loves adventures, she prefers nice long naps on the couch and tons of snuggling.
They both enjoy hiking, swimming, and the occasional trip to the bark park.
Thea loves her big brother so much! You can always find her right by his side. They do have their sibling rivalry moments, especially if one is getting attention and pet. 
They have brought so much joy to our little family. We would be completely lost without both of them.”

What an amazing spot for photos. Everything is so green! The dogs are pretty darn cute too.
Gorgeous set of pups and these pics really highlight their golden coats. Lovely fall pics
It was wonderful to learn more about this family. All of their photos turned out so nice.
Aww what a cute photo shoot. These are some really nice photos. Thanks for sharing.
The location that was picked is excellent! The photos are beautiful and the dogs are so adorable!
The photos with those furbabies look so nice! It’s a good thing that the dogs cooperated and looked steady.
My dogs hate cameras. How I would love for them to pose like these guys.
These photos are so stunning! I really love how the feelings were captured. And those two dogs, they are so adorable!
Look at those beautiful pups! I think my husky would look amazing at that location as well.
Australian shepherds are so beautiful and I love their eyes, esp the blue. I’m ready to go take some fall photos with my pup but the trees haven’t turned yet. Hopefully soon.
They are a beautiful couple too.
A gorgeous pair of dogs for a gorgeous young couple. I just love these photo shoots you can see the love they have for each other and for their pets.
Those dogs are so beautiful. I have always wanted an Australian Shepherd myself. I always thought they were such gorgeous dogs. Beautiful photos here too!
These are gorgeous photos. The dogs, the scenery and you two, everything looks so beautiful.
These are such gorgeous dogs! What a great photoshoot with the dogs and their owners.
Aww what a lovely breed and the name is such a cutie. I miss having a dog in the house they are quite handful but the joy and unconditional love they share is priceless.
Aussies are such sweet souls, aren’t they? Jasmine used to have an Aussie buddy, he was a delight.
