Bruno & Teddy

We met on a beautiful fall late afternoon day to photograph this family. Both dogs were excited to be in the open field and were able to relax and have fun in front of the camera. The quiet remote rustic field is my go-to outdoor session for multiple pets or dogs who get distracted or […]

Moose

These two share a deep bond with one another that you can “feel” when viewing the images from their session. Emily wanted some photos of her pup, Moose. He is her best friend and she specifically wanted artwork of the two of them for her wall. We captured so many cherished images that she had […]

The Trio

These three were each amazing in their own way. Zippy (the black and white dog) was rescued by his human at a truck stop where she found him tied to a post. She asked if she could take him, and the man said, yes. Zip is a bit shy and skittish around people but he […]

Bella

Bella has a big personality with lots of spunk and an innate need to herd. She’s a herding dog after all. The session was full of fun, treats, and plenty of breaks. We met at a local park where Bella walks off-leash regularly. Bella is a beauty and incredibly smart. She adores her human and […]

Norman

Norman was amused by my camera and cooperated so well during his session. He ate amazing treats, some delicious peanut butter and got to run at full speed all while we captured his “Frenchie” personality and handsome good looks. I loved his confidence and the ease which he allowed me to photograph him.

Kai

This beautiful English Bulldog, Kai was a joy to photograph. First of all, I just loved his red collar and how it complimented his fur in these light filled images. Kai enjoyed getting his photo taken and was incredibly calm despite all of the loud sounds at the nearby park.

LOUIS

Loved every minute of photographing this regal dog. Louis is a Bernese Mountain Dog and only 10 months old. He is full of energy, a bit stubborn, and loved being the center of everyone’s attention.

Sam & Rory

These two brothers have completely different personalities. Rory is shy and a little more reserved and Sam is outgoing and loves attention. They are both handsome felines and very photogenic. We decided their home environment would be the best choice for them given that they don’t travel well. They enjoyed the camera and the fun.
