Toms River, New Jersey

If you follow me on facebook then you probably heard I surprised my almost 6 year old daughter with the cutest bunny rabbit there ever was.  We welcomed “Princess Penelope” AKA Princess P, about a month ago to our family and our hearts have been so full ever since.  For a while I would take Makaila to a local pet store to see all different kinds of animals.  She is a (small) animal lover, so she liked hedgehogs, guinea pigs and even some of the birds.  However, when I took her back when I knew they had a litter of Lops in I knew we found the perfect match for Makaila.  Penelope instantly snuggled in to Makaila’s arm & the rest is history… best friends for life.  She reads her books, gives her baths, feeds her a wide variety of treats from yogurt puffs to her favorite organic romaine lettuce (yup, Princess P eats better than me).  While P & Mak are obviously my new favorite photography combo, there are SO many positives that came out of getting Makaila a pet.  She has learned responsibility.  She has to feed her, make sure she has water & even (help) clean her cage.  (Fun fact- you can litter box train a bunny rabbit.  This was an amazing surprise to me.)  Along with the responsibility of having a pet, Mak has developed this loving “mommy” sixth sense.  She’s concerned for her safety (around Logan & my parent’s dog), she worries about her when she’s not around & all she wants to do is cuddle with her.

Since we are finally getting some warmer weather here in Jersey, I took advantage of it & got to capture some pictures of my three little loves.

& what it’s REALLY like photographing my children 😛
