Dylan & Mr. Bigby's Woodsy Session

2/17/2026

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!

Cody's Studio Session

1/15/2026

0 Comments

I've known Cody for a good few years because his mom Nancy is the founder of the American Pet Professionals, a networking group I'm proud to be a member of. Nancy has always been so helpful to me in my business. I met Cody for the first time at a pet expo here on the island and would see him every time I ran into Nancy at various pet events all over the island. It was always good to see the two of them! Last year Nancy won a raffle basket at an event that I'd donated a mini session to, and I was so excited to get a chance to get Cody in my studio instead of just catching him out and about.

Anyone who ever met Cody was well-acquainted with his signature wave and his unique vocal stylings :D ! This guy always had something to say! We had so much fun at the session. Even though Cody was dealing with some health issues, he was as energetic as a puppy for photos. He made us laugh a ton with his antics. His mom always took so many wonderful photos of him all the time that he was very well-used to the process. We got some absolutely adorable shots that really captured his many expressions.

Nancy ordered my favorite product that I offer for Cody's photos, an image cube. When we met up for me to give it to her, her and Cody and I sat down at the Bean in Sayville and caught up. Cody was such a good boy wherever he went out in public and he was an absolute dog-person magnet. So many people always wanted to come up and say hi to him and talk to Nancy about the sweet pit bulls they knew in their lives. He was such a wonderful ambassador for his breed.

Sadly, Cody's health continued to decline and a few days ago Nancy had to make the hard decision to say goodbye to him. I'm so honored that I was able to get to know him and photograph such a special pup. Hug your pups tight in honor of sweet Cody. Here are some of my favorite shots we got that day in the studio!

Rest in Peace, Cody. You will be missed <3

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 2025

12/24/2025

0 Comments

This was a whirlwind of a year for me personally, but business-wise it was one of my best! I was voted Best Pet Photographer on Long Island this year, and it was all thanks to having the best clients in the world. I want to thank everyone who worked with me this year, and who has ever supported my business. It means so much to me to be able to do what I love.

Once the hectic Christmas rush is over, I always take the last two weeks of the year off to catch my breath, spend time with family and friends, and frankly eat an ungodly amount of cheese, so this is me signing off for a little bit. But before I go, I have to share my own Christmas photos! My nephew Seth always wants a photo with his dog Hopper, and of course I have to document every Christmas with my baby Gracey. I am so thankful to have had 8 Christmases with her so far and I hope to have many more.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday! I'll see you in the New Year!

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!

Laci, Luci & Levi's Christmas Photos 2025

12/17/2025

0 Comments

My client Kelly is always the first one to get in touch with me every year for Christmas photos. She likes to get them done nice and early in the year when the weather is warm. This year we ended up doing our Christmas shoot at the end of July! It's always a good idea to get your holiday shoots on the calendar early, because things do get crazy in November! Kelly always has the most amazing outfits for her three adorable Yorkie pups. We did four different ones this year, and they all looked so cute.

I bring Christmas props every year but Kelly always supplies some absolutely stunning ones also. This year her giant Christmas jingle bells were my favorite. The best part of the shoot every year though is the end when all three pups come to snuggle on my lap and give me kisses. They're the sweetest babies and I look forward to seeing them every year! Here are some of my favorite shots from this year's session!

Photos from the Pawcasso Holiday Pet Photo Event on 11.16.25

12/15/2025

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!

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!

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!
