One of the perks of being a Dallas documentary family photographer is having the chance to witness &amp; photograph truly unique moments. These kids knew they would be getting a puppy, but they didn&#8217;t know it would be quite so soon. So Mom surprised them! Grandma &#8220;delivered&#8221; the puppy just a moment before the kids came outside and I was able to capture their priceless reactions!
You can see how happy and excited these kids were. I love that they&#8217;ll have these photos to look back on and remember this special moment. They have their incredible mom to thank for having such a fun idea to have it photographed!
I have absolutely loved photographing this amazing family over the years. It&#8217;s been such a tremendous honor documenting huge life events &amp; moments from their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StacieTatumPhotography/photos/pb.100051284677714.-2207520000/94257140862/?type=3">wedding</a> to <a href="https://stacietatum.com/blog/dallas-newborn-photographer/">newborn photos</a> to <a href="https://stacietatum.com/blog/dallas-fall-family-session/">annual family photos</a> and now this exciting day!
