Jack & Lulu the pup have been best buds for about a year now, ever since Jack came into his mom & dad’s life (and I suppose, Lulu’s life, too!) on a warm October day last year. Like last year, this October was warm and the leaves stuck around long enough for families everywhere to dream a little dream of going on a woodsy walk now and then. I was lucky enough to tag a long as Jack, Lulu, mom & dad made that dream a reality at Estabrook Park. Jack was a bit skeptical of the whole photo shoot idea, but he loved showing off his new walking skills, petting Lulu and as always, cuddling with mom and dad. He loves his little trucks and balls, but a colorful leaf or a veggie snack held his attention for quite awhile, too. I adore seeing babies grow into toddlers before my lens and that is just what baby Jack Hayes has done. Kudos little man- happy growing in the year to come!
