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.

So perhaps one of the advantages of dating a pet photographer is a surprise photo shoot as a Christmas gift!

One afternoon, I snuck away with my boyfriend’s pup, Penelope, for a fun shoot in the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. He had NO CLUE we were doing a session behind his back. He thought we were just going

It breaks my heart when I really sit down and think about how short our pets are in our lives. I wish I could document every moment…puppyhood with the floppy tails and wobbly legs, learning how to sit and stay, going on their first car ride, figuring out the daily walking
