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!

I'll be back at Comsewogue Public Library in Port Jefferson on Saturday, May 10th from 11am-2pm. We're going to be doing photos out on their lawn! 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! 

Register for the program here!

Hope to see you there!

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 also have some artwork up in two gallery displays right now! I was asked to display 5 of my photographs as part of a rotating display of local photographers at Flux Coffee in Farmingdale. My work is hanging with other talented members of the Long Island Film Club. Every month new artists are featured, so go check that out if you're ever in the area! 

I was also accepted to the Long Island Film Club's first group show at the Calling Bell in Huntington! I have one photograph in that show and it'll be on display until May 18th, if you'd like to see it. Many of the works in that show and at the Flux Coffee display are on sale, so go check them out and pick up a piece of local art while you're there!

Photos from Barkfield Road Pet Holiday Mini Sessions 2024

12/16/2024

1 Comment

 
It's always wonderful to be back at Barkfield Road in East Northport for holiday pet portraits. I've been doing photo events at this adorable pet boutique since 2017. Over the years it's changed ownership and layout, but what hasn't changed is the amazing support of the community of pet lovers in the area.

We've learned over the years that a one day event just isn't enough to satisfy all the dog lovers who want a holiday photo at their favorite pet store. Last year we added on a second date due to high demand, but had to do it a week later because of my packed holiday schedule. This year we planned it early so we could book two days in a row, so I was able to leave my setup there overnight for a weekend packed with pet photos. We were fully booked which was great, because the event is a fundraiser for the Dotty Fund. The Dotty Fund provides financial assistance for Long Island families who are having a hard time paying for medical treatment for their animals.

​ Thank you so much to the owners of Barkfield Road, Gabriella and Kevin, for having me again. Thank you to their wonderful employees for their help throughout the event, and thank you to everyone who brought their dogs in for photos!

Here are some of the adorable shots we got that day.

Photos from Pawcasso Pet Holiday Photoshoot Event on 11.9.24

I had so much fun at the Fall and Halloween pet photo event at Pawcasso Art Studio & Pet Boutique, I was so happy to go back again the next month for a Holiday pet photo shoot! I brought winter, Christmas and Hanukkah props for folks to choose from. We had a lot of people come in with their pups to get a photo, a goodie bag from Pawcasso and to spoil their dog with their wonderful treats.

I even got a behind the scenes glimpse of how they make their amazing single ingredient treats that they're famous for. My dog Gracey is absolutely obsessed, so it was really cool to see the process that goes into making them! 

It was so nice to photograph Dewey and Great Dane mix Frida, the owner Barbara's dogs. I said to her at one point, "I think Frida will be the largest pup we see today" and she said to me "No way, wait until Ripley comes in". Frida's best dog friend Ripley, a full Great Dane, was possibly the tallest dog I've ever seen in my life. She made Frida look petite, and it was so funny to see them wrestle and play. They have NO idea how big they are and they're so adorable together. 

Thank you so much to Barbara for having me back and her employee Bailey who helped out that day! If you're ever in the Westhampton Beach area, please stop by their amazing store, and if you're not on Long Island, buy their treats online! Your dog will thank you for it! 

Here are some of the great shots we got that day!

Celebrating 10 Years in Business

9/8/2024

0 Comments

10 years ago today Laura Pea Photography officially opened for business. Even though I planned and researched for a full year before I started, I had very little idea what I was doing at first. I was the only one of my friends who owned their own creative business and I was desperately lonely for people who understood how utterly amazing and how unbelievably awful it could be. Over the years I’ve found community in groups like Rising Tide Society, 52Frames and Long Island Film Club that have helped me keep my love for small business and for photography alive.

10 years has come with its share of lean, hard times, sacrifice and struggle but I’m proud to have made it to this milestone, perhaps a little more cynical than the start, but also wiser and thicker-skinned.

I’m so thankful to every client that has contributed to my journey over the past 10 years. Thankful to every friend and family member who has passed my name along. Thankful to every business I’ve networked with that has hosted me for a photo event or invited me to collaborate with them.

The first newborn I photographed is middle school age now. The first dog I photographed has passed. I have clients that invite me back into their lives year after year and show me my photos on their walls that they still cherish so many years after I took them. It means the world to me. 10 years later, this is still the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done. I hope to be here doing it all in another 10 year’s time.
