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

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

Ok…

Thank you.

That was for the way my heart skipped a beat when I saw just how TINY and ADORABLE Noel was. This little Chihuahua-mix absolutely stole the show during our shoot. People in the park

Happy, playful, ball-obsessed, handsome-as-can-be! That’s Harrison in a nutshell! We spent a lovely afternoon in a park near Balboa Park chasing squirrels and tennis balls. This exuberant guy had me on my feet and made me get my steps in for the day! 😂

Nothing beats seeing your images in print. But I tell ya what…nothing beats seeing them in print on the side of a building!!! Check out this PetSmart store in Oceanside, NY featuring a ton of my work - both inside and out.

Marlie’s Grace’s session took place the day after Thanksgiving. Once you scroll down and see the images, you’ll know why that is of significance. We were seriously on a boat! In Lake Norman!!! At the end of November!!!! What? This winter has definitely had it’s share of craziness!

But on to the adorable Marlie Grace…

I met Rocco years and years ago at an American Cancer Society event, Bark For Life. Since then, I’ve been following his mom on Instagram and have been keeping tabs on this handsome black Cocker Spaniel. I was tickled pink when his mom decided to move forward and book a session for him!

When you get to photograph a puppy, I instantly think of a tiny fluff ball full of energy bouncing around in front of my camera. Granted, Eisenhower (or Ike for short) was 8-ish months at the time of our session, he was as cool, calm, and collected as a Bernese 10 times his age. I think he wanted to keep his chill face on even though I personally think he was playing off the fact that the click of the shutter made him a little nervous. 

We started of our shoot in Ike’s newly redesigned back yard. They had a new pool, spa, deck and grass. It was Ike’s own little paradise! And, that’s when the puppy came... (click on the image above to continue reading)
