Meet the Pelots, my second family! I grew up with these cats and couldn’t love them any more! So I jumped at the opportunity to photograph them together for the holidays. The hustle and bustle around their home hasn’t changed a bit… And it made me smile to see the familiar faces (Pat! Gram! Pop!), as well as the new ones, as the Pelot children grow up and have their own!

Best part about the day was watching the grandchildren obsess over the gifts piled under the tree! Well, that, and dinner! What a feast!
