There’s nothing quite like the joy of a dog shaking off after a swim in the lake. With summer winding down, now’s the perfect time to enjoy every last splash, sun-soaked day, and outdoor adventure with your furry friend. 🌊🐶

Let’s make the most of these final weeks—whether it’s one more swim, a long hike, or chasing tennis balls in the sunshine. Summer may be ending, but the memories you create with your pup will last forever!

As pet parents and guardians, we know our time with our furry family members is precious. Legacy Sessions are designed to capture those irreplaceable moments with your beloved senior pets or those who have limited time. These sessions aren't about saying goodbye—they're a heartfelt celebration of the joy and love your pet has brought into your life.

Gladys is the sweetest soul, and her Legacy Session was all about capturing precious moments with her and her mom, Katie. The love between these two shines through in each and every photo from their session!

Thank you, Katie, for trusting me to capture these portraits of the most precious lil old gal there is ❤️🐾

Have you ever had this thought?: “My dog can’t be off-leash for a photoshoot!” I hear you, but fear not, because I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve.✨

AFTER ➡️ BEFORE: Here’s handsome Finn, owning the spotlight, not a leash nor a care in the world. You might think that he’s got excellent recall and can be trusted off-leash in public spaces. (That could be true, but that’s not a theory I want to test!) Swipe to check out the before, where we can see Finn’s actually on a leash with his companion holding on to it just a few steps away, safe and secure as can be. 🐕🐾

Your pup can stay snug as a bug…on a leash! during their photoshoot, and I’ll work some digital magic to make it disappear faster than you can say “fetch!” ✨

📸 So leash up your pup and let’s capture those paw-some moments together! I’ll make sure your pet shines brighter than a thousand brand new neon tennis balls! 🎾🌟
