Family Session | The Burkardt’s | Leavenworth, KS

Prepare yourselves for the cuteness that is the Burkardt family! These two amazing people so graciously asked me to come photograph one of the cutest little darlings I’ve ever seen. (of course, she’s second behind my pups, ha!) I could not handle the level of cuteness that Miss Ruby brought to the session!

Amanda and Chuck are friends of ours that we met in Germany and are now together in Leavenworth. While Chuck and my husband only worked in the same office for one year, we’ve all kept in touch since then. It was so fun to be back in Kansas together and to enjoy some time outside of a work setting. I couldn’t contain my excitement when Amanda told me why she needed my help…they were getting a PUPPY!!

Proud parents!

Upon arrival I was taken aback by how petite Ruby was! While tiny, she is a mighty little thing that always did what she wanted. Pearl, who’s now the big sister, was not as impressed with me showing up to photograph her but tolerated me anyway.

Also, I cannot forget to mention, this photoshoot was a double celebration…Ruby’s arrival AND Chuck and Amanda bought this amazing house!!! I love the charm of their new home and think it’s adorable! I’m excited for them and their new adventures.

Just look at that face…

You guys…can you even handle how cute she is in that little shirt…with pearls?! I cannot. This little cutie was just precious and clearly loves her new family.

Big Sister isn’t pleased…

We can’t forget Miss Pearl…a bit jaded, but still loves to be loved on. Pearl was good girl for me, but as most older dogs react whenever a new arrival shows up…she wasn’t elated to participate in Ruby’s shenanigans.

I had such a fun time capturing this new little family of four and cannot wait to watch Ruby grow. Hopefully soon we can introduce Ruby and Pearl to Lucky.
