So I shot Addison’s newborn photos and then I blinked...and it’s her 1st birthday already! She came back to the studio for some Christmas shots and a 1st birthday shoot, because she’s a December baby. We started off in her adorable Christmas dress, then did some family photos. Then she changed into a very cute 1st birthday outfit...and then...the cake smash!!
Boy, did she get into it. She was quite literally covered in frosting from head to toe. I’m not quite sure how much cake ended up in her mouth, but I know she enjoyed it immensely. Her parents had quite a cleanup on their hands afterwards, but she left the studio squeaky clean, with maybe just a tad bit of frosting behind the ears! In my opinion, we should all attack our birthday cakes with as much gusto as Addison! Well, maybe more like half the gusto. A quarter, at least. :D
Happy 1st birthday, kiddo!

Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with dogs. Any kind, any size, I don't care, bring them to me. That's why I had such an amazing time shooting pet holiday mini sessions at Barkfield Road in East Northport last week. Every half hour, I was excited to see more dogs come into the store for a photo session. It was even more satisfying knowing that a majority of the proceeds was going to support the Dotty Fund, which helps struggling families pay for their pet's veterinary care.
Here are some of the photos we captured that day! I wish I could share them all, but then the slideshow would be about 2 hours long :)
Thank you to Carol at Barkfield Road for hosting it at her amazing store, and to all the families who signed up and participated in the 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

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.

I was so excited when Daniela from Who Lets Your Dog Out asked me to join her at the monthly dog fair she hosts at New Village in Patchogue. She put together such a fun event for dogs and dog lovers alike. I met so many adorable pups. I was in my glory!
Woof Woof Mobile Grooming was there doing nail clippings and teeth cleanings for dogs. Paul from Pawesome Dogs did a demonstration on how to secure your dog in a car for their safety while driving, which is so important! Tom from Paws n Claws 911 did a demo on what to do if your pet is choking. I learned a lot from that and I'm looking forward to taking his class in the future.
Daniela also put together a fantastic raffle with the proceeds benefiting One Love Dog Rescue, who had two adorable black lab puppies there. I was so happy to be at Yappy Hour and I look forward to more events like this!
Here are the photos I took!

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!

If you've been following my blog, you know that I've photographed just about every step of the way for twin brothers Vincent and Louis. I was honored to continue that by being there to photograph their baptism. If you've ever attended a christening, you know that it can be a stressful time for babies. A church at a baptism is almost never silent. But Vincent and Louis weren't contributing any of the noise that day, because they were all cried out from getting dressed at home! Being as dapper as they are is very difficult. Here are some of my favorite photos from their special day!
Got your own special day coming up?

I loved being a part of the Furry Friends Portrait Program at the Islip Public Library. It was so much fun meeting all the dogs that came in with their owners. All the pets were so well-behaved and (with the help of my trusty squeaky pig toy) they all looked right into the camera! I got a lot of great shots of these adorable pups and their owners. If you're a patron of the Islip Public Library, I encourage you to go check out their new courtyard where the program was held. It's a really lovely space with beautiful flowers, statues and really comfortable rocking chairs. The dogs definitely loved it!
Here are the adorable furry faces I met at the program.
