The Chuhtas are very good friends of mine, and this is the 3rd time I have photographed them. This time it was different though, they have a new addition to the family…their whippet puppy “Arlo”. We had tried for nearly a month to get a date together for photos they wanted outdoor shots, we were cutting it rather close and with their busy schedules it was nearly impossible. We figured we had missed the chance and would have to move the shoot indoors with the weather for the last few weeks in the 20’s/30’s. December 1st finally worked out and the weather couldn’t be better!! It was in the 50’s!!! I don’t know what strings they pulled with mother nature but it was perfect!!
