I got to meet this sweet little family at the beginning of the month (how in the heck is it mid-November already?!) as a celebration of life session, and boy was was Murphy sure spunky. He doesn't like other dogs, so after a little walk in a neighborhood park, his folks wanted to capture his love of running and playing, so we went to a private dog park close by to let him really show his true personality.

I'm thrilled to report that my first round of Late Fall Minis on November 2nd was a resounding success! The weather was crisp and cool, and the autumn foliage was absolutely stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for our fun-filled photo shoots. It was an absolute delight to meet so many adorable dogs and their lovely owners, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to capture their special bond. The whole experience was truly unforgettable, and I'm still beaming with joy thinking about all the wagging tails, snuggles, and slobbery kisses. I feel incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful community of pet parents who trust me to capture their fur babies' unique personalities.

On Thursday, I got to meet this gorgeous girl and her family. Despite being 10 (very old for an Irish Wolfhound!!) and very ill, she was still so beautiful, and is such a sweet soul. Her doting parents contacted me for a last minute celebration of life, she was recently diagnosed with a cancer that is likely to take her sooner rather than later, but for now, it's all smiles and peanut butter, and her favorite, golden oreos, in the backyard.

I've had the privilege of watching this incredible girl blossom into the vibrant being she is today! As her next-door neighbor, I was thrilled when her dad asked me to capture her spirit in photos now that she's thriving (and recovered from her knee surgeries). I believe her dad envisioned a calm, gentle giant when he brought her home as a puppy, but Rosie had other plans! This lovable bundle of energy is a force to be reckoned with, and I adore her all the more for it. With 120+lbs of love to share, Rosie will envelop you in her affection if you give her the chance. She reminds me of that heartwarming 90's classic, Beethoven 🤣🤣.

What a perfect evening we had last Friday to celebrate Caesar, a 12ish year old lab with a heart of gold. His family wanted to highlight their relationship with him, and the love they've shared together over the years, and I was happy to do so. He's a lovely old man, and I'm lucky I got to meet him.

Working with this family last night definitely made me miss having three dogs. This bunch, a smart intense one, a big old do**us one, and an old, loving one, was such a perfect set of sisters, and I loved getting to hang out with them and their loving parents.

One of my favorite things? When Belle, the St. Bernard, got tired, so her dad had to carry all 110+ pounds of her.

This shoot was at a private dog park, a great option for reactive dogs, or dogs who need some space, but you still want those wonderful off leash photos.

Marshall and Benny stole the show during Marshall's Celebration of Life session on Monday. Despite being the younger of the two, it was heart-wrenching to learn that he has been diagnosed with lymphoma, and that his family's time with him is unfortunately short. My favorite thing about this incredibly emotional session was how sweet and gentle they were with the kiddos. The bond between Marshall, Benny, and the little ones was palpable, and it was an honor to capture these precious moments for their family to treasure forever.

Maggie (smaller beagle mix) and Luna (all vibes, no thoughts golden) were such darlings this past weekend, and I loved our session at Ed Tallard Conservancy. Maggie doesn't like other dogs (except for Luna, of course) so this quiet park in Middleton is perfect.

According to her people, Maggie is "smart! Sometimes too smart. She’ll learn to do anything as long as treats are involved. I taught her how to use communication buttons and she’s very good at the “I’m bored” one and the “I’m hungry” one."

Luna, unsurprisingly, "is a people pleaser and wants to be friends with everyone. She loves parading around with a toy when she’s having “big feelings”.

I just celebrated one year with this guy, so I figured it was time for another studio shoot, since the last time he had one, he was just a puppy.

Dipper came into my life with a bang last September. The timing was terrible, but I saw him, learned his story, and just had to take him. He came from a loving but overwhelmed family, who didn't have time or money to train and vet him. They weren't ready for how high drive and intense he can be. I'm so unbelievably thankful that they let me, a stranger that they knew only by word of mouth, take him back with me to Wisconsin (he's from Livingston, Montana). I didn't know how much I needed him too. He helped heal my heart from losing Cedar, and got me through the loss of Willow and Sam.

A story of dogs

My name is Melanie and I am a photographer and owner of Melanie Renee Photography. When I started my journey as a photographer, I knew that I wanted rescue dogs to be one of the pillars of my business. While working at an animal shelter in rural Montana, I learned all about how dogs can change your life. I adopted (or was adopted by) a geriatric border collie/ chow mix who challenged me in ways I had never imagined, but she added so much to my life. Soon thereafter, my husband and I added a rez dog puppy to our family and we have never been the same. Working with dogs and their families within the context of the shelter meant that I saw second chances, and true love. I carry those experiences in my heart and into the soul of my work.

I’d love for you to join me in my celebration of dogs and people. Thanks!
