Piper was kinda a life saver. Yes…she is that special.

Piper’s human mom was diagnosed with cancer about 7 years ago. As you can imagine, it was a tough time for her so she decided a little furry friend would help lift her spirits and make each day a little brighter. When she started her search, she already had the perfect dog envisioned in her mind. She wanted

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

This dog right here. OMG! That’s all I have to say. I mean, this is Evee. And she is perfect. Boom!

Evee is a one-year-old Corgi with the personality of the most bubbly puppy. She lives with her mom and dad in Tucson, AZ where she loves to chase her ball, go on hikes, and entertain the family. Her mom didn’t want the desert look for her shoot so we ventured up Mt. Lemmon to the most perfect spot surrounded by trees. Evee

Silas, Lexie + Molly - Asheville, NC Pet Photographer

A household of 3 pups can be a handful. Especially when one is a newly acquired puppy. But this home is a little different. Silas, Lexie and Molly have a mom that is big into dog training so this trio didn’t disappoint. They were awesome at posing but we made sure we had them let loose and show their fun, goofy side.

Lily + Rose - Hunting Island Beach, SC Pet Photographer

Lily and Rose are no strangers to my camera and have gone on many photo adventures with me. We were first introduced at a session at Fisher Farm in Davidson, NC. The next fall, we explored Campbell’s Covered Bridge outside of Greenville, SC. Then we went big! We ventured up to Black Balsam Knob in the mountains of North Carolina and just a few months ago, took it to the coast on the beach at Hunting Island State Park. 🙌

Max - Greenville, SC Pet Photographer

Oh Max!!!! Max’s mom sent me a photo of him before our session and I immediately knew he was going to be a camera ham. This little guy was found roaming the street and thankfully didn’t bother his soon-to-be-dad’s allergies. The stars aligned, it was meant to be, and he quickly found his forever home.

Max now spends his days running in the yard, touring Lake Hartwell on his parent’s boat, paddle boarding with

Teddy - San Diego, CA Pet Photography

I love it when I can meet up with super cool people in a super cool place. Teddy’s parents are awesome outdoorsy people that rock climb, hike, and own a camper van - totally my kind of people! And, most importantly, they have the cutest little dog! We met up in San Diego and spent a morning shooting in a park by the San Diego Bay. Teddy wasn’t a huge fan of the damp grass but he was all in when it came to the hugs and kisses. 😘

Paul Newman - Charlotte, NC Pet Photographer

This may be one of the sweetest little love connections I’ve ever seen. Paul Newman is THE most handsome Golden Retriever and his human sister is equally adorable. Together, they are unstoppable! They love to kiss, cuddle, and play ball together. I dare you to look through these images and not let out an “awwwwwwww”!
