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

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

Miles, a handsome GSP, absolutely stole the show during his studio session—and honestly, I’m still laughing about it. From the moment we started, it was clear this guy was a pro when it came to treats. His timing was impeccable, and his mid-air snack–catching skills gave us some truly hilarious, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments.

It’s that time of year! Summer is officially here and the temps are starting to see triple digits! This is the perfect time for scheduling a Mobile Studio Session!

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

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

Roo is an Italian Greyhound with impossibly long, skinny legs and a presence that fills the room. The second she realized the studio setup involved treats, she was all in. Sit, stand, stretch, tilt her head, strike a pose—Roo would do just about anything for a reward, and she did it all with flair.

We kept the setup simple to let Roo shine. A solid gray backdrop gave us a clean, timeless look

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
