I'll be back for the third year in a row at Middle Country Public Library for a pet portrait program! Get your winter portrait with your pet done nice and early at the Winter Wonderland themed event. The program is open to all patrons of the library that are registered for the program. All pets should be clean, well-behaved around other animals, and on a leash. In the past years, we've seen dogs and cats and even ferrets. I love all kinds of pets, so bring it on!
This year's program will be held on a weeknight, with the 15th Annual Pet Parade to be held directly before the program starts. So after you parade your pet, come get it photographed by me!
Here is a sampling of some of the photos I shot at last year's event!

I was really glad that the Middle Country Public Library asked me back again this year for pet holiday portraits. A lot of patrons and pets came in for a photo after they were done at the pet parade that same morning. Since it was close to Halloween, we had a lot of people switching gears from pumpkins to pine trees when they got to the adorable winter setup the library provided. I was happy to see some cats come in this time, because we hadn’t had any the year before! I’d like to thank all the families that brought in their fur babies, especially the ones who were repeats from last year. I hope to continue these kinds of programs at Middle Country and lots of other libraries in the future! Here are the photos from the event!
There’s still time to get holiday photos of your furry family members. Schedule your session soon by emailing laurapeaphotography@gmail.com
or calling (631)256-7476.

I’m very excited to announce I’ll be shooting holiday pet portraits at Barkfield Road in East Northport on November 5th from 10am-6pm. Barkfield Road is a boutique pet supply store with an amazing “barkery” with adorable baked goods for dogs. Owner Carol is a dedicated animal lover and I’m so happy she contacted me to partner up for this fun event. Proceeds will benefit the Dotty McMorrow Sandmann Animal Rescue Fund, which provides financial assistance to families who are having difficulty caring for their pet’s medical needs. The Dotty Fund helps to keep pets at home with their owners instead of ending up in a shelter. I’m very proud to be helping out such a worthy organization.
Photo sessions will run for 30 minutes with a sitting fee of $25. Sitting fees will be waived if clients purchase more than $25 of prints or products. I’ll be offering small prints, metal ornaments and holiday cards. Products will be available for pickup at Barkfield Road 2 weeks after the event. I’ll be bringing a white backdrop with twinkly lights shown below. I’ll also have holiday props available for clients to choose from.

Kent Animal Shelter has been saving the lives of Long Island's homeless animals for decades. They also do education and outreach with local schools, bring pets to patients with their pet therapy program, and have a cat retirement home for cats whose owners have passed or can no longer care for them. Personally, they gave my family an amazing gift when we adopted our Irish Wolfound mix Whiskey there in 1996. He gave our family 11 years of unconditional love, and for that we can never repay them.
For the last 3 years, however, we've tried our best to give them back a little of what they gave us. That's why, for the fourth year in a row, we are walking in their Wines and Canines Fundraiser at Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard and Horse Rescue. In the last 3 walks, we have raised over $2,000 and we hope to add a lot to that this year. They have taken in dogs displaced from the recent devastating hurricanes, so they need our support more now than ever. Please donate or share this fundraiser with an animal lover you know.
CLICK HERE TO BE AN ANIMAL HERO!
You can even sign up to be a walker and attend this fun event with your pup. There will be vendors, a prize auction, animals to adopt, and lots of delicious food and wine. I'll also be donating a basket to their prize auction with a free photo session and a $100 print credit!

I had such a fun time at the pet expo yesterday! I got to pet a hairless cat, meet a pig who was on tv, and see a dachshund race. I talked to so many great pet parents about their furbabies (and scalebabies and featherbabies and so on). It was also great to connect with some really dedicated and passionate owners of pet businesses. It was a really great environment full of love and respect for animals. Here are some shots I took in between nuzzling tons of animals and drooling over dog treats that looked good enough to eat.
The pet expo is still going on today until 5pm. You can find more information here. Have fun!

The Long Island Pet Expo is going on this Friday through Sunday at the Brentwood campus of Suffolk Community College. I've been to this event in the past and it's always a lot of fun. The first time I went to the expo, many years ago, I saw a cat training show. I was pretty amazed at what these cats could be trained to do, especially since I couldn't get mine to look at me when I said their names!
The event isn't only for dog and cat owners, either. There is going to be a lot to see there for owners of rabbits, reptiles, birds and more. One time I went and there was a man who kept Madagascar hissing cockroaches for pets. He had them on bedazzled leashes, I KID YOU NOT. He wanted me to pet them and I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm an animal lover, but sometimes you have to draw the line. Turns out my line is right before cockroaches on leashes.
There are vendors, shows, educational sessions and demonstrations going on all 3 days. I'm especially interested in learning about the pet CPR class that's being held, because I've been wanting to learn those skills, just in case I ever need them
(and I hope I don't)!
Leashed pets are welcome at the event, just not with retractable leashes.
If you buy your ticket online, you get $2 off the admission price.
You can find more information about the event here.
I'll be visiting on Saturday. If you see me there, please say hi!
I look like this and I'll probably have a camera swinging around my neck :)

In 1996, my family went to the Riverhead Fair, a tradition for us every October that continues to this day. The Kent Animal Shelter had a booth there with the most adorable puppy we'd ever seen, fluffy with a big bushy tail and huge paws for his tiny size. They told us several families were interested in him and whoever got to the shelter first the next morning would have the chance to adopt him.
We got there hours before the shelter even opened.
We named him Whiskey. Later on, he grew into those gigantic paws and his trainer identified him as an Irish Wolfhound mix.
He was the prince of our family for 11 years, until we lost him to cancer in 2007.

He was the prince of our family for 11 years, until we lost him to cancer in 2007.
Kent Animal Shelter was the first place I went to in 2012 when I was looking to adopt a new dog. They didn't have any that were good with cats, so they pointed me to Southampton Animal Shelter, where I found my sweet boy Basil, in whose memory I'll be walking this year. When I heard about their Wines and Canines Walk at Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard, I thought it was the perfect way to give back to a place that has given me so much.
That first year and last year, my friends and I were the team that raised the most money for the event. We'd like to try and make this year our best year yet. If you can donate, please click here. You'll be supporting a very worthy cause. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to our fundraiser so far! If you can't donate, please share the link with fellow animal lovers. Or you can register to walk at the event and start your own fundraising team to help save homeless pets.
The walk is on September 25th from 11am-2pm at Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard, and I can tell you, it is so much fun. Walk through the beautiful vineyard, chat with other dog lovers, enjoy contests and vendors, meet adorable adoptable pets and try your luck at the 50-50 raffle and prize auction.
This year, I'll also be donating a basket to the prize auction with a free photography session and a $100 print credit. I'm so excited to help this amazing shelter. I hope to see you there!
