I love it when couples include their dogs in their engagement sessions! This fun New York City engagement session is from Alice G Patterson Photography. Ellen and Scott are getting married this month, Haley approves! Haley is a Rhodesian Ridgeback; she's incredibly sweet and beautiful. Eager, curious and happy too, judging by this photo. And smart enough to wonder if the photographer was just a little crazy to be photographing them on an NYC street. I love how Scott is looking at Ellen, so ... continue reading

Dog Friendly: Maple View Farm
I've been a long time fan of Meredith Perdue and finally got to have dinner with her earlier this year. I learned that she and Michael are foodies so I was thrilled when they started a new blog, Map and Menu. The best part about their blog they have a Dog Friendly section.

Maple View Farm in Hillsborough, North Carolina looks like a fun place to visit any time of the year. I'm not ... continue reading
