I was thrilled to photograph these two absolutely STUNNING animals this July. Athena and Thorin are gorgeous Tamaskans, a rare breed of dog that, at its foundation, has a mix of Husky, German Shepherd and Alaskan Malamute. I photographed them at the Mill Pond Park in Saline, Mich. Thorin is the Scandinavian word for thunder, and he certainly left an impression with me ..read more

Ryver is an incredible service dog to his owner, and he will be retiring once his owner’s next service dog is fully trained. Valarie wanted to capture photos of Ryver when he is not working and just having fun in the beautiful fall air. It ended up being a bit colder than we anticipated, but both Valarie and Ryver did great in the elements at the beautiful Richfield Park in Davison ..read more

Busy Michigan Dog Mom Looking for Heart-Bursting Photos?

I know you’re a busy dog mom juggling work, hectic kids’ schedules, vacuuming your dog’s fur tumbleweeds on a daily basis (or is that just me?) and just trying to make it through the day. You finally wrangle the kids to bed and collapse on the couch with a glass of wine when your dog climbs up next to you and sets his head on your lap. You feel yourself start to calm down and think to yourself, “What would I do without my buddy?” He doesn’t have the official title, but he certainly acts like your personal therapist. You start to notice the gray hairs dotting his chin, and you remind yourself t ..read more

Stella the Bernedoodle | 8.8.19 Pet Photo Session in Birmingham, Michigan

I personally know Stella’s mom, Kylie, so I had previously snapped a couple quick photos of Stella when she was an itty bitty puppy. Kyle saw how quickly Stella, an adorable Bernedoodle, was growing and booked a session with me to capture puppy photos at 17 weeks old. I love Linden Park in Birmingham, Mich., for photo sessions, as you can get photos in an open field, by a stone wall and on a trail. So much variety! I love to take photos of your furry family in focus with the hoomans in the background ..read more

Carlos the Bernese Mountain Dog | 4.27.19 Photo Session in Saginaw Township, Michigan

The McGillis family already had a Bernese Mountain Dog named Mia when they decided to add little Carlos to the mix. At the time of the session, Mia was not a fan of her new furry sibling and wanted nothing to do with his puppy antics. As such, we focused our attention on the adorable little pup that he was to capture his tiny, fluffy self in all his glory. I then turned my attention to capturing some images of Mia, who did her best to move around the yard in the opposite direction of Carlos. We then strategically took the family photo – placing the two dogs on opposite sides of the image. Yo ..read more

Your dog’s birthday is coming up, and you’re trying to think of ways to make it a big deal for them.

I had the wonderful opportunity to partner with an amazing pet boutique in downtown Milford called Bubs’ & Betty’s. We photographed an absolutely adorable 15-week-old Golden Retriever named Obie, as well as a handsome doodle named Carlton to model some of their spring line of bandanas. Check out the results! City photo sessions can be so much fun if you have a well-motivated doggo! We can usually find a variety of backdrops in the human’s favorite city. For safety, all dogs are on leashes during city photo sessions, and I then remove the leashes during the editing process. Contact me toda ..read more
