I’m so excited to be coming back to Barkfield Road in East Northport for the first time since the pandemic started! I’ve missed doing photo events there so much. It’s such an amazing pet store! You need to visit if you're a Long Island dog lover! They’re putting on a Fall puppy parade around the square they're located in and a costume contest. The winner will receive a gift basket with goodies from the store and a gift certificate for a free half hour session and a $50 print credit from me. The event will be on Sunday, October 16th from 10am-1pm and will be sponsored by Primal Pet Foods! Look out for PSLs for the pups made with their pumpkin spice goat milk!
After the costume contest, I’ll be taking photos of pets inside the store! Fall or Halloween props and a backdrop will be available. Photo appointments will start at 10:30am!
These will be quick 10 minute sessions where we take a few photos and pet parents can choose their favorite ones and order 4x6s, 5x7s and 8x10s. There won’t be any sitting fee and product prices will be as follows:
4x6s: $10
5x7s: $15
8x10s: $20
You can be in the photo with your pet or it can be their time to shine on their own. Spots may go quickly so call Barkfield Road at (631)651-9292 to sign up!

It's such an honor to be nominated for Best Pet Photographer on Long Island. This is the third year in a row I've been nominated, and each time it happens, I get such a shock. My business is very high touch but pretty low volume. I work very closely with just a small number of clients a year to create a really custom experience for those who choose to invest with me. So the fact that enough people took the time to nominate me to get me on the ballot really means so much to me. Thank you so much to everyone who nominated me!

I first photographed this beautiful family in 2018, and every year since then I've had the honor of being a part of documenting their family's memories. When I dropped off their products from this session, mom Sarah showed me the many places around their house where my photos are displayed. It meant so much to me to see that!
This last session was done to commemorate their youngest James' first birthday. We decided to do it at a local dog-friendly park so that their furry eldest child (Benjamin Franklin, a consummate professional), could join in on the fun. James takes after his family in that he can pose with the best of them. We joked that with his suit and bow tie, he looked like an adorable tiny Godfather.
Older twin siblings Nathaniel and Caroline blew me away with how well they behaved. They were about 2 months away from turning 4 at the time we shot this, and they listened so well, I was thoroughly impressed! As long as we allowed them to do the occasional silly shot, they were game for anything. You'll see one of those shots in the slideshow below. I love showing these types of photos to clients because (though I am -AHEM- a serious artist and professional businesswoman) I am at heart a very silly person myself.
As a small business owner, when clients come back repeatedly, it's such a gift. To have clients who book every year and really show their appreciation for what you do, I can't tell you how much it means! Here are some of my favorite shots from our session!

Sadie's dad Daniel got in touch with me because he received a gift card from a friend for this session. I love when people give the gift of photography, so I was excited to meet him and his pup! He and I discussed a few options for where we wanted this shoot to take place, and he kept going back to how much he loved the view in his backyard! That worked perfectly, because dogs are usually the most relaxed and at ease on their own turf!
Sadie is a beautiful Vizsla with a gorgeous deep red coat and such a sweet personality. She had fun running around the pool, playing ball in the yard and exploring the dock behind their house. She's a young dog so she had a ton of energy! We got plenty of action shots, but she also posed beautifully alone and with Daniel. You can tell from their photos that they have a very strong bond! Sadie looks at him like he hung the moon, it's so sweet to see!

As a Long Islander, it’s pretty much a requirement to love the beach so this was a really fun session to do. I’d never been to this particular beach in Greenport and it was so beautiful! I met Kelsey and Michael there with their dog Ollie for some pet portrait and family shots. Ollie is a super cute golden doodle pup who was only around 8 months old when we had our session. For such a young pup, he did such a great job sitting still for our photos.
He loved posing on the sand, rocks, driftwood and even let us put a bandana on announcing that his parents were getting married! You could tell he wanted to jump in the water the entire time but he waited so patiently so we could get plenty of dry shots before he plunged in the water for some fun! He had a blast in there, so much so that he went just a little too far and his dad had to wade in a little to get him to come back to shore!
I love the shots of all of them cuddled up together as the sun set over the giant rocks. It was such a beautiful session and that golden sun was the perfect end to it. Here are some of my favorite shots from the session!

Looking back at this session makes me miss the fall so much, I swear! I did this shoot with the parents of the wonderful Handsome Zeus who I've photographed many times. Go check him out on Instagram! Katrina and Andrew are getting married at the end of the year, so we met this past October to commemorate their engagement with some photos at the beautiful Peconic River Herb Farm.
Katrina came well-equipped with plenty of props and ideas for the session. She even got me involved in making a video for her to post on TikTok and Reels! As a certified old curmudgeon, I am always slow to try out new stuff, so I haven't done any of those kinds of videos for social media yet. But now I can say I participated in one, at least! We got some really special shots of the engagement ring balanced on Zeus' nose, which I really love. I had to lay flat on the ground to get that one, but Katrina has a lot of experience with taking photos of her dog, so I knew she wouldn't think I was weird! Sometimes with pet photography, you have to get very creative (and a little messy) to get the shot!

This session with sweet little Leo was done at the beautiful Sans Souci County Park. The trails there are beloved by dogs and their owners so if you have a chance to visit there give it a shot! I met Leo and his mom Annette there to get some shots for their Christmas card.
We started off with this adorable teddy bear sweater and then he went au naturel to explore the trails. He was a little hesitant at first to do individual shots but got a little more comfortable later on when he got used to the weird lady sticking the big camera lens in his face! He was so much happier to pose with his mom and he seemed the most at ease when he was snuggled in her arms!
He was interested to see all the other dogs who passed us by on the trails, and this is a popular spot for pups, so we had the opportunity to make a lot of friends! This was a really fun session and I'm so glad I got the chance to get to know Leo and his mom! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

It was great to be back at the beautiful Islip Public Library outdoor terrace for another fun pet portrait program. While I was there for our summer program, we discussed the possibility of doing a fall program. Since there are many families who come back each time I'm there to shoot, we decided to add some themes so that there would be a nice variety to the photos we've done.
Our original program was set for October 30th but the weather was not cooperating, so we moved it to November 14th. Two themes were available, a fall backdrop and a winter backdrop and patrons could choose to use either or both for their photos! It was a lot of fun seeing old and new faces coming to the program, and all the pets were so adorable and very well-behaved! Some pets showed up in really cute Christmas costumes.
Thank you to all the families who brought their pets to be photographed and to the library for having me again! Here are some of the great shots we got!

On the 29th, I went to my first in-person pet vendor event since the start of the pandemic! Daniela from Who Lets Your Dog Out hosted a Halloween Dog Costume Parade at the Brio at the Boulevard in Yaphank. Residents of the complex came out with their pups in their Halloween best to show off and get to know some local pet vendors. Daniela had some great gift bags there to welcome attendees. Otto's Coffee Shop had their truck there to keep everyone warm on a very cold night. Puppin Collars Bandana Co. was there selling their adorable bandanas with their spokespup. A very talented artist named Sydney was there showing off her beautiful drawings of pets. Finally, yours truly was there with some of my favorite pet photos and my camera to document the cuteness of the pups! Thank you to Daniela for hosting these great events and to the Brio for having us!

We had so much this summer that we decided to do another program at Islip Public Library for the fall! The program will take place on November 14th (postponed from 10.30.21 due to rain) from 1-4pm in the library's beautiful outdoor terrace! We'll be booking time slots to make sure not too many people congregate at once, to keep everyone safe! The program is open to Islip Library patrons and patrons of all other Long Island libraries! Out of district patrons may have to call the library to register, ask for Laurie Aitken if you have any problems!
Register for the program here!
You’ll receive a free 8x10 and a digital file of your photo! Any pets are welcome, but please make sure they’re restrained with a leash or in a carrier to keep everyone safe.
This time, I'll be bringing along some props. You can go with a fall theme, a winter theme, or just take a photo with the natural beauty of the library's terrace! These are some shots I took at our last program in June!
Hope to see you there!
