Photos from Paws Gone Wild Yappy Hour 5.28.26

6/3/2026

0 Comments

 
It's always a fun time when Daniela of Who Lets Your Dog Out hosts one of her Yappy Hour events! Daniela is undertaking a very important and difficult task, to get Patchogue a much-needed dog park! This area is very dog-friendly and pups and their parents could really use a place to gather. Right now she's raising awareness and gathering input to demonstrate community interest and need for this venture. The Yappy Hour event was a fundraiser for their efforts! There were raffles, rescue groups, vendors, splash pads, a photo booth, and lots of fun for the dogs. 

My fellow vendors besides the lovely Daniela were pet portrait artist Sydney Shurgin, Bark n Roll Dog Grooming, dog food and chew company Pet Wants, and rescue group Carol's Senior Pet Sanctuary.

I got my dog Gracey and my dog nephew Hopper some duck feet and lambs' ears from Pet Wants and they absolutely loved them. Sydney was offering $5 pet caricatures on the spot for pet parents, and I got her to do two for me, and they came out absolutely perfect!

Thank you to Daniela for putting these wonderful events together and for always including me in the fun!

Artist Popup Collective this Saturday 5.2.26

5/1/2026

0 Comments

 
I'm excited to announce I'll be participating in a popup show this weekend in Wantagh! This event was put together by Nick Girimonte & Kristen Ghiraldi and features a bunch of my Long Island Film Club buddies. There will be photographers, graphic designers and even tattoo artists in attendance. It's taking place at the Workshop in Wantagh from 3pm-6pm. 

I'll be selling 4x6 prints, 8x10 prints, framed 8x8 prints, framed 11x14s, and some mini snapshots. I'm also excited to be debuting a special session I'll now be offering. I first did a three-headed composite portrait of my dog for fun one year on Halloween. I photographed her in multiple different positions, looking straight on and looking to the left and right. I put a bunch of different shots into Photoshop and worked some of my editing magic on them and created this:
Picture
My nephew always loved this photo of her. He thought it was so funny. Once my sister adopted her dog Hopper, my nephew requested that I do a similar one to give his pup three heads. He even helped me get his attention to get the shots!
Picture
When I decided to do this event, I thought this kind of shot would be a fun thing to offer to my clients. I decided to see if I could make the same kind of thing work with different pets. I asked my boyfriend Connor if I could photograph his two beloved cats Cole and Selena. It turns out it was just as straightforward to do cats than to do dogs! I love how these came out!

Then I had my first session photographing a snake for my friend Dylan! I figured if I could do this shot with a snake, I could do it with any pet! This one was so much fun! Loki did amazing (more shots of this handsome guy to come soon on this blog!)
Picture
I'm calling these "Cerberus Sessions". If you're booking a session with me and you're interested in one of these shots, just let me know so that I can make sure I get all the angles I need!

Dylan & Mr. Bigby's Woodsy Session

2/17/2026

0 Comments

 
Mr. Bigby is the handsome German Shepherd you see below. He and his owner Dylan have a very special bond. Bigby used to live on the streets but now he's a pampered pup. Dylan is a very dedicated owner. He's even studying to become a veterinarian one day, so Bigby is now in the best hands possible after a rough start in life. We met at the West Hills County Park to explore some of the trails together and take some photos!

Bigby is super sweet and did such a great job posing! I especially love his ears and how they flop over a little bit at the top. He was making me laugh so much with his tongue sticking out in some of the photos. We had a blast going through the trails. I always like when owners get involved in the photos. It always ends up being a very special memory to look back on in the future. We did some shots of Dylan and Bigby together, some of Bigby on his own and some candids of them walking throughout the many trails in the park. 

I'm excited to be shooting another session for Dylan soon, this time with his ball python Loki as the star of the show! Stay tuned for those! 

Here are some of my favorites from Mr. Bigby's session!

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

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

12/15/2025

0 Comments

 
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

12/11/2025

0 Comments

 
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!

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

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!
