Portrait: Elyse, Jones & Gator

I'm sure all of you remember these three. They were the winners of the pet photo contest back a couple months ago. The fact that you can see framed photos of Gator hidden in the background of their entry was definitely the deal sealer for me choosing them. You know your dog is a member of your family when you specially frame your favorite photographs of them.

This couple was just as sweet and wonderful in person as they were in their entry. Elyse is so adorable and silly and Jones is a total man's man. Gator is his perfect hunting companion and the three of them make such an amazing, lovely family. I adore the way they look at each other and Gator's playful nature and sense of adventure. It was hilarious watch him prance around through the brush. Thank you again Elyse and Jones! You two are wonderful people and I can't wait to watch your lives grow in the years to come.
