This is what an early sunrise Amarillo family photo shoot looks like. Four families came together for this fun, adventurous morning. Two from Washington DC, one from Austin Texas and another from Amarillo. I arrived at about 7:15 am and we just played the whole time. The family from Austin had just rolled in at 6:00 am that morning in their RV and had just enough time to get ready before I showed up. I had no idea they were lacking sleep, possibly the adrenalin is what kept them from crashing lol.

This was kind of bittersweet for me since the day before this shoot my husky of 14 years crossed the rainbow bridge. When I got to pet and love on this older dog, it filled my heart and broke it all at the same time.

I love the golden tones from the suns first light

Since they normally aren’t all together at once, I thought it would be cute to have them all sit on the porch, drink coffee and finish watching the sun come up. It was beautiful!
