This is not your typical wedding or engagement blog. This is a documentation of one my favorite things in my life. Thats right my little pal Lexie. For some of the newer blog readers Lexie is our dog (duh). Kris Ann and I got Lexie back in October. I often will say she was my good luck charm for the Yankee’s winning their 27th world championship since we watched almost all the playoff games together at a young 9-11 weeks old. Lexie is named after another love of mine, Rolex watches. I wanted to name her Rolex or Rollie which then turned into Lexie since it was less obvious. She has made the last 10 months just the best. I seriously don’t know what we did before we got her. She is just one funny little dog and I hope those of you who have not met her yet get a chance to in the future. When she’s not here in my office sleeping in the window while I blog she’s probably greeting customers over at Kris Ann’s flower shop. Folks, this dog has the life. She’s also totally cute. The reason for this blog is Lexie turns one year old on August 14th and since the first day we got little Lexie I’ve been photographing her. So here is just a little collection of one of my favorite things in my life. I know I speak for Kris Ann when I say I just love this dog.
Peace,
JP
She had my number from one of the first frames I snapped of her. This was literately the night we brought her home. She still has that little monkey too.

She was like “whats this thing you keep pointing at me that clicks?”

As I mentioned above we got Lexie in the fall. The colors in mid to late October are just awesome.

Back then a curb was a mountain…

Kris Ann love’s buying this dog clothes. This image just makes me smile every time I see it. Its crazy how damn tiny she was.

Cant get me!

I had to bring her into the studio..

not interested..

All the ladies say it together now “awwwww’

A month or so later I tried the red for a holiday photo.. I think the intensity of the red made her a little angry. Is this where you tell me dogs are colorblind?

I just love this one.

She was loving the snow from day one.. me? not so much.

I know I know… I blame my wife again for this. Christmas morning Lexie wore pajamas and opened presents. I know, I know..

She’s got the “seriously?” look in that image on the left.

When I drive she just chills out riding shotgun. My little co-pilot. This image reminds me of the Jay Z – 99 Problems video.. I think its just the gritty b&w.. She just needs a straight brim fitted Yankee hat… we’ll get to that.

A typical Lexie look.. she’s saying “are you leaving now? don’t go”

Lexie again gets tortured by my wife. In Kris Ann’s designing room at the flower shop Lexie rocks a tutu.

She has many funny faces..

She also yawns a lot.

On opening day I taped one of those cups you’d get ice cream in to her head. Haha. Hate on Sox fans, hate on..

I just love the monochromatic images.

Since everyone should be photographed with the 200mm 1.8L

I just love this one too.

Kris Ann’s at it again… she bought her doggles. Yes, doggles. My Mother calls this the aviator shot.

Kris Ann bought Lexie to visit me at a wedding this past June so I took a shot. Liked the whole fire hydrant thing even though she’s a girl dog.

This was last week.. My munchkin is all gown up.

and not feeling her party hat. Kris Ann strikes again! Props to Kris Ann though, she did make this hat. She’s so talented. So this is Lexie’s official “I’m one” photo. Thanks for viewing…

Happy birthday Lexie!!! These are the most beautiful, funny and crazy dog pictures I’ve ever seen. And don’t worry about the presents on Christmas morning. My wife did this every year. Her dog Simba didn’t care about the present, but he loved to tear of the paper!
haha love it! this is your baby’s first year portraits! she is so cute!
This is such a great collection of love for Lexie. She is one lucky dog. I hope my gang gets to meet up with yours sometime soon. Happy Birthday Lexie!
Happy birthday to Lexie! She is so photogenic but she does have very creative parents so its only natural. She is so darn adorable and I love her wardrobe of pajamas, doggie goggles, sweaters, her tutu skirt and of course her birthday hat. She is a lucky little girl to have her mom buy her such nice outfits :)
HAPPY B-DAY, LEXIE !!!! she’s so sweet & cute , I love all the pics, especially her resembling “Babe Ruth” in that yankees hat is a riot !!!!!
JP these are great! I love her first baby pic, she’s like “HI, I’m a ham for the cam!” Also Kris Ann – nice work with the outfits. :) So cute. Um, I kinda love the tutu. She’s like “seriously? Should this be higher? I don’t know…” Very cute birthday hat too! I hope to meet her someday!!!!
JP the pic of you holding her – you have the same expression as your dad there, awesome. :)
Lexie – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Woof woof, ar rarrr rarf, mmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrraaar. Ar rar bark woof.
These are adorable!!!!

awwww these are so awesome!! i always love hearing/seeing how much other people love their dogs because it makes me feel more normal about the obsession and human like treatment of my own :). the last one is priceless and I love the doggle one too, but I think my favorite is the curb shot! and jp, i think you secretly love playing dress up with lexie….stop blaming kris ann :)
So adorable! Thanks for sharing :)
Doggles! That’s hilarious!
Awwww so sweet! Thanks for sharing these, JP, and a big happy birthday to little Lexie!
She is too adorable… beautiful pictures, JP!
AWWW- seriously! Years of blog stalking and this one by far is the best one. I have cracked up, gotten goose bumps and even a couple of tears in my eyes. She is so darn cute. My favorite is the red background with her teeth showing- and the tutu is hilarious. Anyway, nice seeing you both at the airport last night- I was so exhausted and happy birthday to Lexi!!!
Aaaah! I love this! :) Lexie is such a character. And she’s so darn cute! Her personality shows in every single one of these shots. My favorites are from when she was a puppy… makes me want to get a frenchie!! If only I could convince Dale! :)
