Hank's Northport Harbor Christmas Session

12/22/2025

0 Comments

 
Hank's mom Caitlin got in touch with me this year for some Christmas photos for this sweet family to put on their holiday card this year. She and husband Billy shocked me when they told me Hank was just a puppy, not even a year old! This guy is seriously so well-behaved and chill for such a young pup. Caitlin and Billy adopted Hank this year, so I'm sure he's so happy to be celebrating his first Christmas with his family. 

We met at the harborfront in Northport, which is such a great dog-friendly area. We started at the big gazebo and then walked down to the walkway by the water. Hank was very happy to get to smell all the fun smells down there. There were some very cute decorated Christmas trees that I had them pose in front of and then we headed closer to the water to get those nice views in the background. Hank did such an amazing job, I was so impressed by how nicely he posed for such a young guy who still very much has all that puppy energy in him! Merry Christmas, Hank!

Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

Keirla & Family's Christmas Session at the Long Island Museum

12/20/2025

0 Comments

 
I met Keirla and her mom and dad last year for her First Christmas photos when she was a teeny tiny baby! This year we met again for a special session at the Long Island Museum. Keirla's aunt works there and let us get some photos there! The grounds were so beautiful and Keirla had a lot of fun running around with her adorable Rudolph stuffed animal! We hit a bunch of different spots around the grounds. Keirla especially loved the little barn!

Keirla's mom Karla and I talked about how much we love Halloween and spooky stuff, and she happened to bring a copy of a Nightmare Before Christmas book for Keirla to look at. There was even an old graveyard next to the museum, and we had Keirla sit in front of it for some photos. Some clients would have thought that was crazy, but Karla and I both loved the idea and those ended up being some of my favorite shots from the day! She had so much fun flipping through the book! 

Here are some shots we got at this very fun session!

Norman's Downport Session

12/18/2025

Stephen and Anna got in touch with me this year for a family portrait session down by the harbor in Port Jefferson with their beloved pup Norman! We met in front of Danford's Hotel and walked up along the harbor, down some of the docks and through Jeanne Garant Park. We ended up down on the beach where Norman enjoyed smelling all of the scents along the waterside!

They are just the cutest little family and it was so sweet to watch them walking and laughing together up and down the pier. We got a beautiful fall day for the photos and I love how they came out! Here are some of my favorite shots from the session!

Photos from the Pawcasso Holiday Pet Photo Event on 11.16.25

My last pet holiday mini session event of the year was at Pawcasso in Westhampton Beach. I love shooting events there because Barbara and everyone there are so wonderful to work with. Those who came to the event got a photo shoot with me, digital files of their photos, a “Lick Painting” craft for their dog to create their own winter masterpiece, and a festive goodie bag packed with holiday treats and surprises from Pawcasso. We had a couple of open spaces, so Barbara invited some adoptable pups from the Southampton Animal Shelter!

We had four adoptable pups join us: Woogie, Miranda, Lulu and Pecan. Luckily Woogie and Miranda have already been adopted, but Lulu. and Pecan are still waiting for their home for the holidays. Lulu and Pecan are actually mother and daughter, so they're looking for a home together. If you'd like to learn more or inquire about these pups, click here! 

Unfortunately Barbara and the gang are shutting down their storefront in Westhampton Beach, but you can still go to www.pawcassotreats.com to buy their amazing treats! Please do, I guarantee your dog will love them!
Thank you for always having me for events and being such a wonderful presence in the community and the pet industry, Barbara! 
​
Thank you also to everyone who joined us for the event! Here are some of my favorite shots we got that day! Happy Holidays!

Photos from the Barkfield Road Holiday Photo Fundraiser on 11.8 and 11.9 2025

I've been doing holiday photos at Barkfield Road for so many years and it's always a lot of fun to go back! They always have the store decorated so beautifully for Christmas and they carry an excellent selection of toys and treats and food for dogs. My Gracey and Hopper always love when I go there because I come back with huge delicious chews and beautifully decorated cookies for them.

As always, we did our holiday photo fundraiser to benefit the Dotty Fund, which provides financial assistance to families in need who need help paying for necessary medical treatment for their pets. We filled up two days back to back with people excited to get their pup a holiday photo. We had several backgrounds and many different props for Christmas photos, Hanukkah photos or just wintertime scenes. We had so many adorable pups come through on both days, and it was nice to see some owners also get into the shots with their babies.

Go visit Barkfield Road the next time you're in the East Northport area and spoil your pet!

​Here are some of my favorite shots from our puppy-packed holiday weekend!

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!

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! In the past, I've had people bring cats, turtles, ferrets, guinea pigs, lizards, bunnies, hamsters, even rats to my library programs! Feel free to get in the shot with your pet too!

Photos from the Comsewogue Public Library Pet Portrait Program on 5.11.24

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!
