Karma

Karma

I tell you what. I think dogs are absolutely gorgeous and special animals. However, Karma here knows he's extra fabulous! He is a German Shorthair Pointer that can frequently be seen in the show ring. In fact, after our session together, I went to one of his shows and he won Best of Breed right then and there! Right?!?!?!

Karma's mom spends a great deal of time with him...working on structure, core, agility, etc. She taught me so much during our chats and I feel... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Rylee, Chloe, and Zoey

Rylee, Chloe, and Zoey

It is such an honor to have a client come back to use my services again. It means more to me than anything and I can't thank my repeat clients enough. It's especially meaningful when the main goal of the repeat session is to announce a major event in their lives!

I photographed Rylee, Chloe, and Zoey's a couple years ago. Since then, their parents have gotten married and...wait for it... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Simba

Simba

Ooooooh, Simba. You are such a handsome happy-faced boy! 

Simba's session took place on a very hot day (like there have been any cool ones lately?). But as long as I had his toy, he wasn't walking away to go inside to cool off. Haha! In fact, we had to hide his toy a couple times just so he would go in to take a break!

This bouncy boy loved running around his backyard, giving me smiles, and chasing his beloved toy. Some of the action shots were cracking me up with his... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Scooter, Daisy, Birdie and Lucy

When I think of some of the biggest animal advocates in the Charlotte, NC area, Dr. Rostan of Charlotte Skin and Laser is one of the first that enter my mind. She does so much for the Humane Society of Charlotte and pets throughout our area. It is an honor to know her. (She also does amazing work on people's skin!!)

Dogtopia Dog Wash

Dogtopia Dog Wash

Taking pictures of dogs getting baths (or tubbies as my pups know them), is one of the most fun and entertaining things to me. They are drenched and so goofy looking but still have a smile on their faces! So when I was asked to photograph the annual K9 Support Dog Wash for Dogtopia of Charlotte, I jumped on it!

This year's event raised money for Paws With a Cause - an organization that...(click on the image above to continue reading)

Graeme

Graeme

So my dream when I die would be to come back as this pup right here. Graeme was adopted from the Humane Society of Charlotte by a seriously sweet couple from England. I imagined him (over the years) picking up on their English accent and using that voice as he ushered me in his house, showed me around his lovely pool, and spoke to me in that way that dogs do. To me, he's so prime and proper but, in reality, he likes to... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Murphy

Murphy

A fluffy, goofy, energetic ball of fur. Yup. That about sums up Murphy, a sweet little rescue that was found matted, sick, and heartworm positive. He was nursed back to health by some wonderful vets and placed in a home full of love, treats, and lots of toys. And per Murphy, they better be cloth or fabric toys...non of that rubber nonsense. Haha!

For our shoot, we hung out in his domain...a nice fenced-in yard where he is...(click on the image above to continue reading)

I’m a total sucker for dogs with human names. No lie. This is Kevin and the name alone made me a fan before we even met. 😂 And when he doesn’t listen or is a naughty boy, he definitely hears “KEVIN” called urgently in homage
