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!

I'm excited to share some fun things that have been happening here at Laura Pea Photography.
First off, I won Best Pet Photographer on Long Island through FourLeaf (formerly Bethpage) Federal Credit Union's Best of Long Island contest. Thank you so much to everyone who nominated me and voted for me! It's such an honor to be nominated so many times, and I was absolutely floored when I saw that I won this year!

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!

It was great to be back at Pawcasso Art Studio & Pet Boutique in Westhampton Beach for a Valentine's Day mini session day. Barbara and her staff there are so sweet and we always have a really fun time during these photo events. We had some really cute stuff for these Valentine's Day photos. I brought a white backdrop and a sequin backdrop, and lots of props like a Kissing Booth sign, heart garland, angel wings and a halo, and more. Barbara had some adorable heart and XO pillows and a really cute purple crown bed for the pups to sit in.
After each pup had their close up with me, they got some doggy ice cream and either a lick painting or a paw print painting done with help from the Pawcasso ladies. They left with some beautiful artwork and a goodie bag full of treats from Barbara. Thank you so much to Pawcasso for having me again! Please stop in there if you're in the Westhampton Beach area. I'll be back there again on 3/2 for a St. Patrick's Day shoot!
Find all the details and sign up for that here! I'll be posting more about that soon.
Here are some of my favorite shots we got during the event!
Happy Valentine's Day!

I had such a great time at the Pawcasso Valentine's Day event, and I'm going to be back for another one to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on Sunday, March 2nd! I'll be there from 12-4pm. For $55 you get your pet's photo taken, 3-5 digital files emailed to you, a lick painting, pup ice cream and a goodie bag of stuff from Pawcasso!
I decided to break out my big Halloween cauldron to craft a pot of gold for pups to sit in (or next to if they're as big as Barbara's girl Frida, the Great Dane mix)! I took a few photos of my girl Gracey and my doggy nephew Hopper to show everyone what our setup is going to look like!

Remy's mom Drew got in touch with me because she was interested in getting professional photos taken of her adorable bulldog/beagle mix Remy to celebrate his 5th birthday, which is today! Happy Birthday Remy! She told me she just wanted a few good shots of him, but she was unsure how he would do because he's blind and has a ton of energy. She thought he would be too excited if I came to their house because he loves visitors, so she wanted to bring him to my home studio, which is great because we had the full range of backdrops and props to choose from for his session. She and her husband Luke brought so many cute things to use for his photos like balloons, toys, a birthday hat, and even a homemade birthday cake for him to enjoy at the end of the shoot!
We started out on a blue background to match all his adorable accessories. Remy did such an amazing job posing. Even though he's blind, he had no trouble finding the camera because over the years I've built up quite the arsenal of absolutely ridiculous noises I can make to get dogs to look at me! After a while we switched to a light brown backdrop and got mom and dad involved for some family photos! Then it was time for Remy's favorite part of the session, when we brought out the adorable homemade birthday cake his mom baked him. We got some great shots of him happily digging in. I was prepared for there to be a huge mess in the aftermath, but Remy cleaned up after himself like a gentleman! There was barely a crumb left behind!

It was great to be back at the Islip Public Library for another pet portrait program on their outdoor terrace. We did a holiday theme again this year with some props I brought and some that the library had. We had 28 families join us that day with 37 dogs and 2 guinea pigs! It was a packed event and so much fun. Every time I do one of these events, it's clear to me how much Long Islanders love their animals.
Thank you to the library for having me and to all the families who came out and braved the cold for a photo of their pet!

Happy Halloween! I was so happy to have my first photo shoot at Pawcasso Art Studio and Pet Boutique! My dog Gracey has been obsessed with their treats for a long time. I haven't met one dog who doesn't love their single-ingredient treats! Get yours here! It was great to be able to visit their beautiful space, where they hold art classes, Paint Your Pup nights, and all sorts of special events.
I brought two backdrops for this event, a Halloween one and a Fall one and people were able to choose between them. Everyone who attended actually opted to do both and all the pups were cooperative and adorable for their photos!! After they had their photo shoot, Barbara of Pawcasso helped them create a paw print painting, and provided them with delicious doggy ice cream and a goodie bag of toys and treats from the store. It was such a fun day, and I'm excited to announce I'll be back there next weekend (11/9 from 12-4pm) for a holiday photo shoot! I'll be bringing multiple backdrops and winter, Christmas and Hanukkah props for people to choose from.

I had such a great time at LI-Dog's Pooch-a-Palooza this summer, and I was so happy to be invited back by the group to photograph their Howl-o-ween party! The event was held again at the beautiful Pine Grove Inn in Patchogue. There were a lot of great vendors there, including Rachel the Dog Trainer for You, My Canine's Keeper, Collar Crush, and the sponsor for the prizes for winners of the costume contest, Who's Your Doggy Long Island. DJ Mike Kaplow was also there as usual providing great music for the event!
There were also some wonderful raffle baskets donated by a ton of locals and Long Island businesses. I was excited to meet the pup whose owners won my raffle basket, and I hope to hear from them soon to shoot his free session! Long Island Dog volunteers had set up some adorable photo booth scenes for pups and their owners to take photos in front of. They were also on hand to make some adorable paw print art for them, which came out so cute. There were games, a special menu from Pine Grove Inn, and a great demonstration from My Canines Keeper's Ebonie and her creatively tiger-striped pup Hades. The costumes that the dogs and owners showed up in for the costume contest were so creative! Thank you so much to Long Island Dog for having me, and especially Ginny, Peggy and Joann for putting on such a wonderful event for all the pups and their parents!
