Some sessions just don’t go according to plan—and those often turn out to be the most memorable.

Piper and Jasmine’s photoshoot started with gray skies and a steady drizzle. We met in the morning with hopes of soft light and lush greenery, but the original location just wasn’t delivering. The grass was sparse, and if there’s one thing to know

There are some sessions that stay with you forever—and this was one of them.

When Leila’s mom first reached out, she shared the news no pet parent is ever ready to say out loud: Leila, her sweet cattle dog mix, had been diagnosed with cancer and was beyond treatment. In the face of that heartbreak, she made

Teeny Tercell is officially one—and what better way to celebrate than with a photo shoot that captured every bit of her unique, lovable personality?

Named after a character from the 1995 movie Now and Then, Teeny is just as memorable as her namesake. This beautiful mix of GSD, pittie, chow, and cattle dog brings together the best of so many worlds… and, like many complex souls, she

Thankful is exactly the word I’d use to describe this session with Bentley. Thankful we were able to squeeze his session in during the busy holiday season with short notice. Thankful the rain stayed away that afternoon. Thankful the clouds parted long enough to light up the sunset. Thankful Bentley was able to celebrate his birthday on Thanksgiving. And most of all, thankful that

Noel’s mom is a repeat client, and I first shared her session on the blog back in March. So when she reached out again—this time after adopting Hashbrown—I was absolutely thrilled! Of course we had to celebrate the newest addition with another photo shoot in their home stomping grounds of Sedona.

We chose a new location with even more red rock scenery, giving us those iconic Sedona backdrops

This photo shoot with Maja was one of those evenings that stays with you long after the camera is put away and the artwork is delivered.

We met at sunset at Tom’s Thumb trailhead, just as the desert was beginning to soften in color and light. From there, we hiked down to a quiet, private spot where Maja could be completely relaxed, focus on the camera, and be herself. The warm
