Introducing Xara

 

I've known Allison and Jon for many many years. They come with me on my adventures, they support me in all things, I was fortunate enough to photograph their wedding and so many other big moments of their lives, and now I'm honored to say I got to come to their house and photograph portraits for their new little lady.

Introducing Duchess Xara Bruna Von Xoltan...but they just call her Xara. She's the newest addition to the McLaughlin Family and I am so happy for them (and Xara, of course, who is already so loved.)

We love you, Xara. And hey, Jon and Alley? We love you too. I know that somewhere, Ivy Girl is looking down and seeing her little sister frolicking around being an adorable silly goofball, and that she's so proud and so happy to see how much joy Xara is putting into your world. 

You did good, y'all. I'm sure that Ivy is beyond happy to see how joyful this little lady has made you, and she's glad the the McLaughlin Compound has a dog in it again. Her watch might have ended, but Xara is worthy of taking up the mantle now.

Hey, Ivy; your momma and daddy have a new Very Good Girl to watch over them in your stead. Xara is doing the best job she can (and being the biggest goofy goober ever; you'd be ever so proud.)
