Charlie’s final trip to Atlantic Beach was filled with gentle waves, soft sand, and the warmth of his family’s love. 🐾 His parents traveled from Wake Forest to make sure he felt the sea breeze one more time. Just one day later, back home, they had to say their final goodbyes. 💔
These end-of-life sessions are the hardest yet most meaningful stories I tell. It’s not about perfect poses or capturing the ‘best’ shot. It’s about preserving the essence of their bond, the moments of pure connection, and the love that goes beyond words.
I’ve been in Charlie’s parents’ shoes before—capturing precious final moments that I now treasure deeply. I’d give anything to have one more day with Maddox, to have these unposed, real moments captured before we said goodbye.
For anyone facing this unimaginable decision, I want you to know you’re not alone. These sessions are a way to hold onto the love and light our pups bring into our lives, even when the sun is setting.
If you’re looking for a way to honor your beloved companion’s journey, I’m here. Let’s create something meaningful, together.
Meet Sasha, the longest resident at Carteret County Humane Society. This sweet, lovable, and smart pup has been waiting for over two years to find his forever home, and after spending the day with him, I can’t believe he’s still available!
Sasha was an absolute delight today! He was a perfect gentleman on the ride to the studio, enjoying the car and making himself right at home once we arrived. After greeting our UPS driver (who came with treats!) and another client, we had a fantastic studio session where Sasha truly shined. We even ran a few errands, including stops at Lowe’s and Petscenes, where he charmed everyone with his good manners and love for booty scratches. I can’t understand how this sweet, well-behaved boy is still waiting for his forever family at CCHS!
Let’s show Sasha some love! Drop a 💙 in the comments for this handsome guy, and don’t forget to share his story to help him find his perfect home!
Celebrating National Dog Day with a behind-the-scenes look at some amazing pups I’ve had the pleasure of photographing since bouncing back from spinal surgery. It’s been a journey, but these furry faces have made every moment worth it. From the goofy grins to those soulful stares, there’s nothing quite like capturing the bond between a dog and their human. Ready to create some lasting memories with your pup? Let’s make it happen—book your session today!
NAME THAT MOVIE!
I have never been a button person but it kicked off last year with the Shutterhound pin, then the Momo pin, now there’s a Crystal Coast Dog one and my favorite are the Eames and Maddox ones that Anne Green Designs illustrated and I had made into acrylic pins via @stickermule.
Now I want to trade! Kinda like the whole Disney pin trading thing. IYKYK. Those people take it serious.
I’m in LOVE with this frame. It may be small but it’s such a statement! Plus the little details like the torn edges on the print, swoon! 😍
Bronze frame and poppies , I’m here for it!
Tell me, do you still frame your portraits?!? Don’t let them just live on your phone.

We got this image in less than 5 minutes; it took us longer to talk to the tree stump. We had those gorgeous blue skies behind Wild the Wolfdog and rain on top of us.
It’s not often that I could have a 6 month old off leash, but Wild’s mom is a dog trainer and he really likes making mom happy. Or maybe it’s the yummy treats keeping him there. 🤣
What motivates your dog? Toy or treats?
🚨🐶 Emergency in progress: Fido’s turned into a greenery guzzler and sampled something suspect! 😱 Here’s what you gotta do:
1️⃣ Dial up your vet or punch in the Pet Poison Helpline (855-764-7661) for urgent advice. In addition to the pet poison, helpline, if you need to be seen after hours, head to Swansboro Animal Emergency and Trauma Center (910-839-5934)
2️⃣ Time to channel your inner detective: snap a pic, bag a sample, or preserve any evidence (yes, even the yucky stuff) for ID purposes.
3️⃣ Spill the tea to the vet or helpline: spillage deets, munching moment, your pup’s feels, and their weight.
4️⃣ Hold off on the vomit-voyage unless the vet gives you the all-clear. Let’s not stir the pot.
Remember, dogs can’t tell good plants from bad ones! Prevention is paw-some-scan your yard regularly for dangers .🌱🚫
