Ashley got in touch with me for 10th birthday photos for her pup Shasta. Shasta is a beautiful and sweet Husky. Ashley went all out with decorations to bring to celebrate her pup. She called herself a "crazy dog mom" but I said that crazy dog moms are my favorite people! She also brought along something very sentimental to the session. She put a framed photo of Shasta’s sister in some of the photos, her sweet pup Nanook that they lost tragically a few years ago. It was her birthday too so we wanted to honor her as well.
Shasta was such a good girl for her photos. She let us put necklaces, party hats and crowns on her and she didn’t mind one bit. Ashley even got in some of the photos with her sweet girl. I love when owners get in the shots with their pups. They are usually a little reluctant and then afterwards they’re so happy that they did. You can tell on a dog’s face how they relax when they’re next to their mom or dad.
Here's to many more happy healthy years for Shasta! Here are some of my favorite shots we got that day!

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!

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:

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!
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!)
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!
Get in touch today to get your pet their own three-headed portrait!

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 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!
