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

If there’s one thing that instantly makes my heart melt, it’s tiny, fluffy dogs with big personalities—and this session with Sky, Moose, and Grizzly - three Mini Australian Shepherds - was exactly that.

These pups were soooo small, it was almost unreal. All fluff, huge bright eyes, and stumpy tails, they somehow managed to be both impossibly cute and incredibly well-behaved. From the moment

Every photo shoot has a personality. Some are calm and dreamy, others dramatic and moody. And then there are shoots like this one—powered entirely by a funny orange cat named Cheddar, whose energy level can best be described as “permanently set to zoom.”

From the moment I stepped into Cheddar’s house, it was clear this wasn’t going to what you’d typically expect with a kitty. Cheddar greeted me like an old friend he hadn’t seen

Can we take a moment of silence for my heart….

I’m not gonna lie, when I was contacted about photographing a Portuguese Water Dog, I was scratching my head. I’ve heard of the breed but, for the life of me, I couldn’t picture what one looked like. After doing a quick Google search, I knew this session was going to be an original!

Boomerang was just celebrating his second birthday, he’s super intelligent, and participates in

This session with Roxy was a loooong time in the making. Way back in July, her mom contacted me to set up a session as a gift to her husband. Clearly at the time, temps were crazy high so we planned on a safe date in the fall. I was anticipating this session for all these months because, first, her mom was a DOLL, and second, from the description, Roxy sounded like she’d be a super

Olivia came bounding straight to me when she showed up for her shoot at the trailhead in north Scottsdale. Cuddles and treats with a stranger were the only thing on her mind. Behind that cute little Frenchie block head and gigantic smile, you would never have any idea that she was fighting mast cell tumors. And that’s how I wanted to keep it.
