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!

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!

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!

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!

Hope to see you there!

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!

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!
Register here for that!

I was so excited when Prince's dad Sunil got in touch with me to talk about photographing his 14th birthday party. Prince is a beautiful German Shepherd who had a pretty rough health scare in January. He's doing so much better and his family is so grateful that he's happy and healthy to celebrate his 14th birthday! So many friends and neighbors came to party with their pups.
We set up a white backdrop with a red carpet (Prince's dad Maarten works in movies so he had this on hand for us!) at the entrance of the party, so families could take a photograph with their dogs. There were so many cute pups and I loved following them around to take candid photos of them enjoying their puppy party time.
At the end of the party, they brought out a beautiful doggy cake from Barkfield Road in East Northport, my local small business buddies! The speed in which these dogs devoured that cake was truly impressive. To be fair, it looked so amazing, I kind of wanted to try a piece!
Thank you Sunil and Maarten for trusting me to capture these very special photos of their beloved pup! Here are some of my favorite shots we got that day!
