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….

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

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!

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.

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.

When your client requests cool, fun, candid shots, ya know they came to the right place! And with names like Wall-E and Wile-E, I had a feeling it was going to come naturally. And to boot…this session was with a pair of Pugs! Oh yeah!!!

Meet these almost identical couple of pups! We spent the late afternoon playing in their grandparents’ backyard. We ran around, did some posing, and (most importantly) got to play

Millie, Toby, and Pepper were quite the Oreo triad! Two big black pups sandwiching a precious little cream doggo. Lol!

Sadly, the sweet cream filling of this particular cookie hasn’t been having the best time and, at only 6 years old, has been diagnosed with cancer. Ugh. This is Millie, a very mom-attached cutie
