One of my favourite photo shoots each year is for a family with five adopted dogs and a rotating cast of rodents. This year they added Ninja the Rat to their roster; two more baby ratlets are coming soon (and I hope I get to go back and shoot them!).
In addition to a lot of time photographing lively dogs and a goofy child, we have tea, they try to feed me various vegan nummies, and we generally have a great time catching up. Such a fun family – I look forward each year to taking their holiday photos! 🙂
