Lou - Scottsdale, AZ Dog Photographer

Some dogs have a way of making it very clear that they are not just pets. They are family, they are babies, and, in Lou’s case, they are the undisputed little love of Mom’s life.

Lou is an older dachshund who has been by his mom’s side for years. She brought him home when she was in college, and his name was chosen with a little fashion-forward flair: Louis Vuitton. Lou, naturally, was

Rory - Scottsdale, AZ Dog photography

There’s nothing quite like watching a dog do what they love — and Rory absolutely loves agility. This handsome little poodle came ready to work (and show off a little too!) during his action-packed photoshoot at Zoom Room in Scottsdale. From the moment we started, Rory was all energy, confidence, and speed.

He flew over jumps, sprinted

Piper + Jasmine - Scottsdale, AZ Dog Photographer

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

Leila - Mesa, AZ Dog Photographer

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 - Phoenix, AZ Dog Photographer

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

Ace + Annie - Phoenix, AZ Dog Photograpy

Going out on a limb here - I’d say 40% of my sessions are surprises or gifts for clients’ loved ones. I think that’s so incredibly thoughtful because, for those of us without two-legged offspring, our dogs are our babies. It’s not unusual to have sessions for families, human babies, seniors, etc, so I’m happy we’re normalizing photo shoots for our pups. In our hearts, it’s all the

Wrigley + Nelly - Scottsdale, AZ Dog Photographer

Early mornings in the McDowell Mountains are always special. Everything is quiet and still and the light is soft, warm, and golden. There were no exceptions the morning I got to photograph Wrigley and Nelly. As the sun climbed, it lit up the tall grass and desert landscape, perfectly complementing Wrigley’s rich golden coat and Nelly’s deep red fur. The colors felt almost

Bentley - Phoenix, AZ Dog Photographer

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
