Well for me that means including ALL the family animals into a single portrait! So when Stephanie contacted me about photographing her family I was so excited for the opportunity! Her fur family consists of three horses, three dogs, and a sweet little pot-bellied pig named Nacho. He has his own Instagram page, by the way, so if you enjoy following pig antics go check it out and enjoy.
