Photos from the LI-Dog Howl-o-ween Party on 11.2.25

11/10/2025

It was so great to be back at the LI-Dog Howl-o-ween Party at the beautiful Pine Grove Inn. They had some great special guests and sponsors like Who Lets Your Dogs Out, Salty Paws, Three Dog Bakery, Veterinary Emergency Group, Dog Days Pet Care, Long Island Pet Service, M. Mae Dog Boutique, Hey Bud Garden Services, Smush Pets, New York Bully Crew and more.

They had two excellent costume contests, one for just pups, and one for pups and owners with costumes together. The costumes were absolutely amazing. There was delicious food and drink provided by Pine Grove Inn, great music from Mike Kaplow, and some wonderful raffle baskets to raise money for LI-Dog's important work getting more access to New York's parks and beaches for dogs and their owners. Thank you to LI-Dog for having me! Here are some of the photos I captured that day!

Photos from Pawcasso Fall and Halloween Pup Photoshoots on 10.11.25

I was back at Pawcasso again for Fall and Halloween shoots. I always love doing events there, because it's such a great shop. Barbara and everyone who works there are such sweet and wonderful people. Please go visit them if you're near Westhampton Beach! Their treats are my dogs' absolute favorite treats of all time. I literally have to keep them on a high shelf because if they're within their reach, they'll break into the bag themselves! Every dog I've met loves them too. Go to their site and pick your pup up a bag!

Barbara threw a whole Bark-BQ event for the pups in town. They had doggy friendly burgers and fries, paw print painting, doggy bandana making, and more. It was such a fun day. She had set up two beautiful backdrops for us to do photos in front of. Here are some of the shots we got, and some candids from this very fun day!

It was great to be back at another Yappy Hour hosted by the wonderful Daniela of Who Lets Your Dog Out. She held a Splash Party for pups outside of Birdie's in Patchogue. Daniela had set up splash pads and kiddie pools and sprinklers for the pups to cool off in. One Love Dog Rescue was there with some adorable adoptable dogs. Barking Biscuit was also there with their truck selling treats, toys and clothes for the dogs. The dogs had a wonderful time in the water, and it was really fun to watch them enjoy themselves. Here are some photos I took of the festivities!

MCPL Spring Pet Portrait Program on 5.31.25

5/27/2025

0 Comments

I have another pet portrait program coming up at the Middle Country Public Library on May 31st from 10:30am - 12:30pm. This was originally going to be held at the Centereach building in their Nature Explorium, but due to the iffy weather forecast, it has moved to the Selden building so that we have the option to do either indoor or outdoor photos!

Middle Country patrons can sign up here.

I never got around to posting these photos from last summer's program, so I'm going to share them now! We had another really fun pet portrait program out in the Nature Explorium! Our first day got rained out so we reconvened the week after. We had lots of pups join us. We also had a cat, a bearded dragon, a turtle, and even three chickens come by for a photo! The chickens had a very cool clear backpack they came in so they could be safe while they traveled and still look out on the world. I’ve actually photographed chickens before but it was just one at a time. This was my first time photographing three at once so I thought it would be a little chaotic, but that wasn’t the case at all. These were three very well-behaved chickens! The bearded dragon was also impeccably dressed. We had a lot of very impressive subjects!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the program and to the library for having me back again! Here are some of the shots we got that day!

Patrons will get a free 8x10 and digital files emailed to them. Pets should be clean, well-behaved around other animals, and in a cage or on a leash to attend. All pets are welcome, not just dogs!

River & Hedwig's Studio Session

4/29/2025

2 Comments

River & Hedwig's mom Alicia and I have been following along with each other for a while on Instagram (check out River's adorable pictures @ms.river_theminischnauzer). She got in touch with me to schedule a session for the pups in my studio. She told me she wanted photographs of the dogs in front of nice bright colored backdrops. She was doing the session to surprise her mom with the photos for Mother's Day.

I was able to meet River ahead of time when they brought her to Pawcasso for my St. Patrick's Day photo session event. Alicia and her mom were there but she didn't know about the session yet, so I had to keep my mouth shut and pretend it wasn't happening!

On the day of the session, River and Hedwig got to the studio and started exploring the space. Alicia had told me Hedwig was an anxious pup and it would be best to ignore him at first until he got used to me, so that's exactly what I did. He got a little freaked out whenever I got up to change the backdrops, but every time I was sitting down, he and I were the best of buds! I always ask clients before our session if their dog has any medical issues, anxiety or certain ways they like to be handled to make sure that I'm not doing anything to upset them or make the session something scary for them. I always want pets to have fun getting their photo taken!

River and Hedwig both did such an amazing job. Alicia was unsure if Hedwig would cooperate, but I'm happy to report we got so many excellent shots of him! They both really enjoyed sitting on the grey dog sofa I keep in the studio. That's everyone's favorite chair, it seems. After the session, we put together a beautiful collage canvas and other prints for Alicia and her mom, and she loved the way they came out!

Here are some of my favorite shots from that day!

Photos from the Pawcasso Easter/Spring Pet Photo Event on 4.6.25

Thank you again to Barbara of Pawcasso Art Studio & Pet Boutique for having me back for Easter/Spring photos. Pawcasso makes the most amazing single ingredient treats for dogs. They're my dog's favorite treats ever, and I've never met a dog yet that doesn't like them! Get your pup some at www.pawcassotreats.com and stop in if you're near Westhampton Beach!

We had some seriously adorable dogs join us for the event. One of the pups, an incredibly sweet 3,5 month old pit bull puppy named Wisteria, was being fostered at the time. I'm happy to report that her foster mom Lauren told me this week that the photos helped get her adopted and into her forever home! Congrats Wisteria!

Here are some of my favorite shots we got that day!
Happy Easter, everyone!

I was happy to add another library to my list of pet portrait programs last year! I did my first one at the Comsewogue Public Library and never got around to posting them here! We did our program out on their large lawn. We had a lot of adorable pups join us! It’s always so much fun to meet new dog lovers and hear about how much they love their pets. A lot of times these programs are the first time that people have ever had a professional photo taken of their animal and it’s always really great to be able to give them a new experience. I heard stories that day about recent losses in patrons’ families, house fires where they lost so much, and it really underlined how important photography is. It’s an honor to be able to contribute to happy memories for so many people. Thank you so much to the library for having me and to everyone who brought their pet for a photo!

I'll be back at Comsewogue on 5.10.25!
Register here for that!

Here are some great shots we got that day!
