Mike + Danielle // Rome, PA // Family Portraits

When Danielle told the story of how they got their puppy – it was one of those stories where you just knew things were meant to be. Filled with plot twists, tears of sorrow & then joy – it is one for the books.
The only little girl puppy had been adopted by someone else – the only little girl puppy that Danielle & Mike wanted. She was a Boston Beagle/English Bulldog mix – grey & white – small & dainty – of course someone else adopted her so quickly. They were left with a tough decision, adopt one of the little boy puppies or keep on looking for that little girl puppy they so desperately wanted.

It was almost like a movie – in fact, if we wanted to add some extra drama & about 60 minutes of fluff – we could easily make it into a Hallmark special! The original family who adopted that sweet little girl puppy, decided they simply couldn’t keep her! And they gave her back! You can only imagine that phone call and that crazy car ride and that happy little introduction, when Mollie officially made Mike & Danielle into a family.

And being a family – they needed official family photos to send out official family Christmas cards for the first official time! We had such a fabulous time – traipsing around Danielle’s parent’s property – complete with barn & pond & fields & a big beautiful just-changing-colors tree! Fall is such a beautiful time of year – I simply wish that it didn’t come with the reminder that winter is oh-so-definitely coming.

Meet the official Mike, Danielle, and Mollie family.
