The 2025 Pawtastic Friends Calendar Contest has officially kicked off! This contest has raised nearly $15,000 in the last 3 years, and this year we're making that amount our goal. Yes, $15,000!

It's a huge goal, and I will be biting my nails for the next several weeks, but, I know the Las Vegas community is amazing when it comes to helping dogs in need.

How do you join the fun?

Upload an image of your dog for a $20 entry fee, and have your friends and family vote for your dog. Each vote is only $1. The 12 dogs with the most votes will win a portrait session, with the best image going into the 2025 calendar.

100% of the proceeds for this contest will be donated back to PF, providing life-saving enrichment training sessions to dogs in need. Click the link below to enter. Thanks for entering and good luck!

Don't forget to tell your friends to enter their dogs!

Strategy for getting comfortable yet you still wake up at the end of the bed 🤣

If you had to pick just ONE dog toy, which would it be?

Mine, without a doubt, would be the Hol-ee roller, for its versatility.
It's a ball, great indoors and out, doesn't ding up furniture, and is excellent in sand - eliminating the mouth full of sand, it's also a treat puzzle, so pretty much an all-around perfect toy.

What's your favorite dog toy?

Hey There Fellow Dog Lovers!

As the holiday season wraps us in its warm embrace, I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a wonderful holiday! Whether you're celebrating with two legs or four, surrounded by family or furry friends, may your days be filled with joy, laughter, and the unconditional love that our canine companions bring.

May your coffee be strong, your chocolate plentiful, and your moments captured with laughter and warmth. Here's to a Christmas that's as delightful and unique as each of our four-legged friends!

Happy Holidays!

Nicole, Vibe, Elf, Flea, and View 📸🐾 (please don't tell my dogs they were not featured in this post!)

I know I've been MIA for a while, took a little break to fetch some new inspiration, starting with a trip to Iceland for an amazing workshop, then a trip to Missouri to photograph flyball championships, followed by a relaxing vacation in Beautiful Lake Tahoe.

Planning to get back into the groove of things by sharing some of my favorite images from Iceland, spread out over a few posts. This gorgeous Husky is Ynja in her natural wintery habitat.
