Pup Wichita leaps in the air to catch a bubble.

Backyard Fun

When I got the invite from Helen to document a little backyard fun with her pup, Wichita, and granddaughters, Lola and Elise, I knew I was in for a treat. Simple summer pleasures – sun, green grass, sunflowers in bloom, two bottles of bubbles, one garden hose, and a (surprisingly) aerobatic pup with Jaws like tendencies. Lots of giggles and we all got a little bit wet. Just as it should be this time of year.

Treble bonus points for the Fubbles Bubbles brand catching wind of the photos and featuring the session in some of their marketing. While I’d like to think it was the photos, I’m pretty sure it was the pigtails (times two) plus four paws and a furry tail.
