Pinto Bean, Holly Tamale & Taco: A Festive Family Pet Session
It’s not every day you get to photograph a couple who calls their dogs Pinto Bean and Holly Tamale. From the second I stepped into Rob and Briana’s home, I knew this session was going to be something special.
We kicked things off with the viral wrapping paper trend Briana wanted to recreate. When she asked, my response was, “UMM ,YES PLEASE!!” because who doesn’t want their fur babies bursting through festive paper like they’re the greatest gifts on Earth?! Holly and Pinto were absolute rockstars. I’m not exaggerating when I say they deserved every single treat they got that day. And oh, did they get so many treats! Mom was the MVP, dangling snacks just above my camera, and these pups locked eyes with the lens like they were born for the spotlight.

We couldn’t stop laughing as Pinto and Holly’s little noses poked through the torn paper, their eyes lighting up every time Briana called their names or whenever I made funny noises.
Then we transitioned to the second half of the session still in their cozy living room. Christmas lights twinkled, stockings hung on the wall, and that’s where we meet Taco!! The cat who prefers lurking in the shadows. But even Taco couldn’t resist a little holiday cheer. We caught her in the most epic wide-eyed moment that’s going straight to my highlight reel.

Rob and Briana radiated love for their fur babies. The way they cuddled up on the bench, the dogs in their little Christmas outfits, the smirks and laughter between shots.. it felt like I stepped into a Hallmark movie!
This session was about a family celebrating the chaos, the snuggles, and the silly, perfect moments that make life sweet. And that’s honestly what every session should be like.
Can’t wait to share these memories with Briana and Rob so they can look back every Christmas and remember the year Pinto Bean, Holly Tamale, and Taco brought the magic to life.
