With the Holiday craze, I've been slacking on my blogging and sneak peeks unfortunately. Though I have been very fortunate to receive some holiday cards with images taken by me on them! I consider myself very lucky to be able to take pictures of my friends and their families around the holiday season. Either they are very trusting of me or very desperate... either way I'll take it! I absolutely LOVE taking pictures of people, especially when I have a connection with them. Receiving some of those images back in the form of a Christmas or Holiday Greeting card is icing on the cake. Without further delay, here's a Sneak Peek of the Patten Family. Melissa and I go way back to our early college days at the Cal Poly Horse Unit. We went on the same Equine Breeding Internship later in life and then worked on the same breeding farm for a while after that. Since her and Chad have been together since high school, he was there for a good portion of our shenanigans as well. He's kind of like the brother I never had (or wanted sometimes considering how often he pokes fun at me). Poking fun aside, these two humans are rather important to me and their family recently doubled in size with the addition of Jackie and Baby Gus. A few weeks ago we got to gallivant around the ranch where Melissa and I used to work for a quick and FREEZING cold family photo session. It was so thrilling that Baby Gus wasn't awake for much of it, though Jackie did have a fantastic time playing in the leaves with her goofy dad. I can tell you from careful observation that Jackie has her dad wrapped around her little finger and that Baby Gus has a very loving big sister. Thanks Patten Family - you were fun and delightful as usual!
