I love it when people include their dogs in family portraits! Standard Poodles, Winnie and Ana, joined their humans for a lovely session with Deb from Annie Sharp Photography.
From Deb: “I was asked to help re-create family photos that were taken many years ago incorporating the family pets. We had the most beautiful of evenings at Historic Rockford Plantation in Lancaster. We captured some amazing family images while the sun went down.“
From Andy and Ruth: “Our daughters are Ashley and Katie. Our furry family members are Winnie, the brown standard poodle who is ten and Ana, the silver standard poodle who is six.
Katie raised Ana as a service dog (in training) for the first 18 months of her life.
However, when Ana went into secondary training, she started showing signs that she was probably not meant to be a service dog. After UDS decided to release her from the program, Katie adopted Ana.
She now lives with us and is thoroughly enjoying life as one of our family members.”

I LOVE those pictures! And seriously, in the first one? Without the fur-kids, I don’t think it would look complete. PURRS.

What a beautiful setting for family portraits. The late afternoon light makes the people, pups, and nature glow!

I say it all the time; I wish I could get some professional portraits made of my girls and me together. I would love to have a professional photograph done of the three of us. I love these photos.
Beth says
I’m going to try and find the perfect photographer for you 3!

What a beautiful family portrait. I love the backdrop with the autumn leaves and colors. Ana and Katie have such grace and sophistication. 🙂 I love that the family included their pets because they really are family members too!

Not all dogs are cut out for service, but I’m happy Ana found her place as a beautiful loving pet. These are wonderful photos!
Beth says
I’m so glad for her too!

Wow! I recently fell in love with the Standard poodle at BlogPaws! They are such stunning dogs! My mother has a toy poodle but I have not been exposed to any standards until I went to BlogPaws! What gorgeous photos and everyone looks so happy with their pups!
