Happy Halloween! I was so happy to have my first photo shoot at Pawcasso Art Studio and Pet Boutique! My dog Gracey has been obsessed with their treats for a long time. I haven't met one dog who doesn't love their single-ingredient treats! Get yours here! It was great to be able to visit their beautiful space, where they hold art classes, Paint Your Pup nights, and all sorts of special events.
I brought two backdrops for this event, a Halloween one and a Fall one and people were able to choose between them. Everyone who attended actually opted to do both and all the pups were cooperative and adorable for their photos!! After they had their photo shoot, Barbara of Pawcasso helped them create a paw print painting, and provided them with delicious doggy ice cream and a goodie bag of toys and treats from the store. It was such a fun day, and I'm excited to announce I'll be back there next weekend (11/9 from 12-4pm) for a holiday photo shoot! I'll be bringing multiple backdrops and winter, Christmas and Hanukkah props for people to choose from.
Sign up for that here!

I had such a great time at LI-Dog's Pooch-a-Palooza this summer, and I was so happy to be invited back by the group to photograph their Howl-o-ween party! The event was held again at the beautiful Pine Grove Inn in Patchogue. There were a lot of great vendors there, including Rachel the Dog Trainer for You, My Canine's Keeper, Collar Crush, and the sponsor for the prizes for winners of the costume contest, Who's Your Doggy Long Island. DJ Mike Kaplow was also there as usual providing great music for the event!
There were also some wonderful raffle baskets donated by a ton of locals and Long Island businesses. I was excited to meet the pup whose owners won my raffle basket, and I hope to hear from them soon to shoot his free session! Long Island Dog volunteers had set up some adorable photo booth scenes for pups and their owners to take photos in front of. They were also on hand to make some adorable paw print art for them, which came out so cute. There were games, a special menu from Pine Grove Inn, and a great demonstration from My Canines Keeper's Ebonie and her creatively tiger-striped pup Hades. The costumes that the dogs and owners showed up in for the costume contest were so creative! Thank you so much to Long Island Dog for having me, and especially Ginny, Peggy and Joann for putting on such a wonderful event for all the pups and their parents!

I was so happy to be asked to be at Nassau County SPCA's Diego's Trunk or Treat for dogs this year. This is a very important fundraising event for them to help take care of the county's animals. It was the second annual Halloween event for them and it was an amazing day for pups and their owners on the grounds of the beautiful Sands Point Preserve. There were so many families present and some truly incredible costumes. I was excited to be there photographing the event and happy to contribute a basket to their raffle. Chloe the adorable Brussels Griffon in a pickle costume is the one who went home with my basket, and I so look forward to her parents getting in touch to photograph a session for her!
Besides the excellent raffle baskets, there were local businesses and organizations there sponsoring the event and supporting with their car trunks stocked with treats for the pups who got to go around and fill their baskets. Andrea who spearheaded the event even sent me home with a bag of treats for my Gracey, which she was thrilled about! It made up for the fact that I came home smelling like a hundred other dogs!
There were also businesses there as vendors for attendees to spoil their pups. It's always good to see my peers in the Long Island pet industry. There are always regulars I see at the local events that have become my pals over the years and it was great to get to talk shop with them. I met some new friends and had a delicious lunch at Rosie's Grilled Cheese food truck. I also ran into plenty of past clients which is always wonderful, and met some pups who I've been following on Instagram for a while! It's like meeting dog royalty!
One of the most fun parts of the event was the Pup Pie eating contest. Every half hour or so, there was a new round of contestants who competed to finish a bowl of whipped cream and a biscuit first and the winner received a free Licki Mat. But of course, there were no losers because every pup got delicious whipped cream and even a medal for participating!
The costume contest was incredibly impressive. Scroll through the photos below to see the amazing effort people put into their pup's costumes. Some of the owners even joined in! My personal favorite was the dog dressed up as a spotted lantern fly. I told his owner he had the scariest costume there!
