Little eyes, as yet unfocused, peek out, then roll and sway to the rhythm of soft, round bellies pushing into other swollen pots.  Claws grasp and grip siblings noses, ears or tails; all, in search of Dez. These sweet, soft, furry newborns are already learning to push up on their forepaws.  A marvelous milestone as they develop and mature at the speed of light.  Much, much too quickly – this infantile newborn stage is too brief.  (…said the casual observer.  Kudos to Rob’s unceasing attention!)

Their first photo session required a raised table – without the lift their petite bodies would be just bits of tawny fluff in the grass – bellies or not.  The puppies were photographed on the 15th day after their birth.

Mewing, snuffling exploration is quiet, then piercing, then interrupted by a unique miniature sneeze or robust yawn, followed next by a sudden return to twitchy puppy sleep.   So much to do and so little time in between naps!

All this charm mixes with an old milk smell while claws urge the holder to hug back; hold fast.  The experience makes one certain that angels come in many forms.

Dez loves her babies.  Sydney and Kiwi love the babies.  Every person who sees these pups loves them.  These new pups are well loved!!

It was an experience the neighborhood will not soon forget.  Five separate fire companies from the West Chester Fire Department and other units responded to the emergency for which the residents of all the homes in this area expressed gratitude.    The list and links of all the fire companies that responded appears below the images.

It is always amazing that most fire companies are staffed by volunteers.  Companies pay for their equipment and expenses with local funding and fund raising.   Again, we are grateful for their immediate response.  Prior to the fire each firefighter was busy with their own family, friends, event, or maybe watching  the final episode of “Lost”.  Upon receiving the alarm, each suddenly left whatever they were doing to help someone they’d never met before.  It is remarkable.

Thank you!

Enjoyed very much my day with Carol and Chris, and their families. Thank you! As always, love interaction and the connection with people. Had an opportunity to capture some great relaxed formal images and a lot of candids later.

Look carefully at the photo with groomsmen holding the bride and you will see Philly on the horizon. It was a grey afternoon last Saturday, but you could still see the Philly skyline in the distance. The Philadelphia view – courtesy of the Pine Hill Golf Club.

Ooops!  …. The father of the bride is coming down the hill …
