Last weekend, I hopped on a plane to Pittsburgh for a long-overdue weekend with some of my favorite humans, three fellow pet photographers who’ve become like family. We met two years ago at a retreat with our online business coaches in North Carolina, and something just clicked (photography pun intended 😁). Since then, we’ve talked daily (shoutout to Voxer!) sharing big wins, tough days, ideas, support and of course, dog photos. When you’re a solopreneur, this kind of connection is priceless.
This was the first time we’d all been in the same place since that retreat and being together again – swapping stories, talking dogs and business, laughing over meals – felt like coming home.
One of our amazing businesses coaches (Hi Heather!!!) joined us too. She’s one of the people who first brought us all together. Her grounded wisdom, humor and gentle (and sometimes not-so-gentle 🙂 mindset guidance have shaped so much of how I approach my work and life. And getting to soak that up in person (with pizza and chocolate!) alongside the women who’ve become my sounding board and support system? What a gift.
The hot weather in Pittsburgh kept us from doing too much exploring. But we managed an afternoon at the Phipps Conservatory (that Chihuly glass among all those blooms!) and a visit to the National Aviary. Both were simply amazing.
But the real reason we were in Pittsburgh was to celebrate the connection that we’ve shared these last two years virtually. There’s something powerful about being with people who truly get you. Just sitting in the same room discussing every subject under the sun was amazing. We don’t get to do that enough in our high-speed, online world. Sharing the joy, the doubt, the chaos and heart behind building a small business that’s also deeply personal. I came home recharged, inspired, and full of gratitude.
Of course, no trip is complete without a little drama. Sunday’s storms canceled my flight home at the last minute, but I somehow snagged the last seat on the last flight out. Nothing beats coming home to tail wags and happy barks from your dogs, like, “You were gone FOREVER, is it dinner time?.”
Trips like this fill my cup. They’re a reminder that the best parts of life – whether it’s time with close friends or quiet, ordinary moments with your dog – are the most important things in life.
That’s really what my work is about. Capturing the everyday magic of the relationships that matter most. The way your dog looks at you, the way you feel when you’re together. Those are the moments worth remembering. And it’s my honor to help you capture that for you and your four-legged-family members.
P.S. Not to forget about the other half of the dynamic duo who brought us together, Nicole Begley, Sadly, she wasn’t in Pittsburgh to hang out with us 😥
If you’ve ever thought, “My dog could never handle a photo session,” you’re not alone. As the proud and sometimes frazzled mom of two dogs with “big feelings”, I get it. The barking. The lunging. The side-eyes and suspicion when another dog or a stranger (and especially a stranger with a camera appears). I’ve lived it and I promise, this is a judgment-free zone.
My very first dog was a reactive Golden Retriever (yep, a Golden…try explaining to people why your Golden doesn’t want to make new friends). And then there was Ziva, my sensitive Border Collie, who preferred a quiet bubble of space and made sure everyone knew it.
They taught me patience, humor, and how to truly understand a dog who sees the world a little differently.
So when I say no dog is too “difficult” for me to photograph—I mean it from the bottom of my dog-loving heart.
That’s exactly why I’ve created a photo experience just for dogs like ours: the shy ones, the fearful ones, the reactive ones—the ones who need a little extra space, patience, and understanding.
So if you’ve ever hesitated because your dog isn’t “perfect”—know this: they’re perfect to me.
A calm moment for Casey 💖
This is Why I Specialize in what I call Dogs with “Big Feelings”
With over 25 years of positive dog training under my belt, I know how to listen to what your dog is telling me. I’ll choose a location that helps them feel safe, use gentle body language and distance to respect their boundaries, and give them all the time they need to relax and show their true, beautiful selves.
You don’t have to apologize for your dog’s behavior. Not to me. I’ve lived that life. I know how tiring it can feel when you’re worried about how your dog will “handle things.”
But I also know how incredible it feels to have photos that finally capture the real soul of your dog—the moments that only you usually get to see.
I’ll capture those quiet moments—the soft glances, the sweet cuddles, the cautious curiosity—that you know and love about them. Those moments are gold. And I’d be honored to capture them for you.
This isn’t a rushed, stressful, “sit, stay, smile” kind of session. It’s a gentle, thoughtful experience built entirely around your dog and what they need.
I pick the location carefully—a quiet park, open space, or tucked-away spot where your dog can breathe and feel safe.
I use longer lenses so I don’t have to get too close.
I move slowly, carefully, and respectfully—watching for the little signs your dog gives that they’re uncomfortable.
I give breaks, space, patience…and treats. Lots of treats.
Because your wonderful, misunderstood, quirky, nervous, barky, needs-a-bit-of-space dog? They deserve to be seen. To be celebrated. To be the star of beautiful artwork on your walls—just as much as any other dog. Maybe even more.
Ready to celebrate your perfect dog? Let’s chat about creating a session that makes your dog feel safe, seen, and loved—because they are. 💛
Just like people, every dog experiences storms differently—some may barely notice the rumble while others turn into nervous wrecks at the first distant boom.
My sweet Ziva struggled terribly with thunder, fireworks—really, any loud noise. It was heartbreaking to watch her tremble and try to escape the booming sounds. When her fear took over, she would chew through walls, jump fences, and even try to leap out windows in pure panic. We tried so many things that helped a little, but it was always a challenge to keep her safe from herself during those panicked moments.
No storms in sight=Happy Ziva
Thankfully, there are now better medications available through your vet for dogs who suffer this severely. But for dogs with milder anxiety—or for young pups you want to gently prepare—I’ve put together a list of tips and ideas to help them feel calmer and more confident during storms.
Disclaimer: I am not a vet or behaviorist. If your dog’s behavior is severe consult a licensed professional to help guide you guide them through their anxiety.
Let’s start with the basics:
Create a Safe Space
Set up a quiet retreat in your home’s calmest room—like a closet, bathroom, or basement. Close windows and curtains to soften noise and flashes. Add comfy bedding and favorite toys. Some dogs feel safer in covered spaces like a crate with a blanket over it (if they’re already crate-trained and find it calming).
Turn on Background Noise
Mask the thunder by turning on the TV, a calming playlist, white noise machine, or even a loud fan. The goal is to make the storm less noticeable and give their mind something else to focus on.
Stay Calm Yourself
Dogs are super in tune with us—if you’re stressed, they’ll pick up on it. Speak softly, move slowly, and act like the storm is no big deal. Your calm confidence can help reassure them.
Use Calming Products
Over-the-counter calming treats, CBD products, pheromone diffusers (like Adaptil), or anxiety wraps (like Thundershirts) can help take the edge off. Every dog responds differently, so you may need to experiment to see what soothes yours best.
Talk to Your Vet About Medications
For dogs like my Ziva, whose fear is extreme and dangerous, prescription medications from your vet can be life-changing. Newer anti-anxiety meds are more effective and faster-acting than those available years ago, and they can truly make storms safer for severely anxious dogs.
More Advanced: Working to Eliminate the Fear
Desensitization & Counter-Conditioning: Helping Your Dog Stay Calm During Storms
One of the most effective ways to help your dog overcome thunderstorm anxiety—especially if they are young or only mildly fearful—is through a gradual training process called desensitization and counter-conditioning. It takes time and patience but can build real confidence and reduce fear responses.
Here’s how to do it, step by step:
1. Start with Sound Recordings
Use high-quality thunderstorm soundtracks (YouTube has many, or you can find apps specifically made for this purpose). The key is to start at a very low volume—so quiet that your dog barely notices the sound and doesn’t react fearfully.
2. Pair the Sound with Something Positive
While the storm sounds play softly, give your dog high-value treats (something they don’t get every day like small bits of cheese or chicken) or engage them in a favorite game or toy. You want them to form a new, positive association with the sound of thunder.
3. Keep Sessions Short and Sweet
Training sessions should last less than 5 minutes and always end on a positive note. If your dog shows any sign of anxiety—like lip licking, yawning, pacing, or leaving the room—the volume is too high. Stop, lower the volume, and try again later.
4. Gradually Increase the Volume
Over several days or weeks (depending on your dog), slowly increase the volume as long as your dog stays relaxed and engaged with the treats or toy. Never rush this step—progress at your dog’s comfort level. Some dogs may take weeks or even months, and that’s okay!
5. Add Realistic Elements
Once your dog tolerates the sounds at a normal level, you can add other elements that usually come with storms, like flashing lights from a flashlight (simulating lightning), a fan (to simulate wind), or darkening the room. Always pair these additions with positive rewards.
6. Generalize to Real Life
When real storms come, have your treats or toys ready to reinforce calm behavior. Over time, many dogs will start to see storms as “no big deal” because they’ve been conditioned to expect good things when they hear thunder.
Important Notes:
✔️ Stay patient and consistent—this is a slow process, but it truly works. ✔️ Never force your dog to “face their fear” if they are panicking; this can make things worse. ✔️ If your dog has severe thunder phobia, consult a veterinary behaviorist who can guide this process and possibly recommend medication support.
When to Call for Help
If your dog’s anxiety is severe—causing destructive behavior, self-injury, or overwhelming fear—talk to your veterinarian or a certified behaviorist. There are wonderful resources and professionals who can help.
Remember:
You’re not alone if your dog fears storms—it’s a common struggle for many families. With the right tools, patience, and support, you can help your pup feel safer when the skies get loud.

Summer in New England is made for adventure—road trips, hiking trails, lazy lake days, and backyard barbecues with our best furry friends by our side. But as fun as the season is, it also comes with a few summer safety concerns dog parents need to watch out for.
Don’t worry—this isn’t meant to stress you out or keep you inside. With just a little extra awareness, you and your pup can enjoy every summer day with confidence.
Here’s some summer situations to keep in mind while you and your pup are adventuring!
Extreme Heat
This one is obvious, but it bears repeating. Summer temperatures can sneak up fast. Even on a seemingly mild day, the inside of a car can reach dangerous levels in just minutes—so never leave your dog unattended, even for a quick errand. Plan walks early in the morning or later in the evening when sidewalks are cooler, and always bring water along to keep your dog hydrated.
You can also check out my blog on fun ways to keep your pup occupied during the steamiest of summer days here.
Travel Safety
Whether it’s a road trip to the mountains or a weekend on the Cape, make sure your dog is buckled in with a crash-tested harness or riding safely in a secured crate. Pack familiar items like a blanket or toy to make them feel more at home, and double-check pet policies for hotels or campsites in advance. A little planning makes travel smoother and safer for everyone.
Hurricane & Storm Preparedness
Summer storm season in New England brings not only the risk of hurricanes and power outages but also plenty of booming thunderstorms that can be terrifying for some dogs. Now’s a great time to update your dog’s ID tags and microchip info and review your evacuation route in case Hurricane Dexter, Imelda or Karen decides to make it’s way up here to New England.
Thankfully, serious hurricanes are unlikely here in New England, but we still have plenty of loud summer storms ahead. So it’s just as important to have a plan for the upcoming thunderstorm (and fireworks) season.
If your pup is nervous during storms, try setting them up in the quietest, most secure room in the house—an interior bathroom, closet, or basement often works best. Leave the TV or radio on to provide some background noise and help muffle thunder claps. OTC calming treats, pheromone diffusers, or a snug-fitting Thundershirt can also ease anxiety for mild to moderate cases. For dogs with severe storm fears, talk to your vet about prescription anti-anxiety medication as part of their safety plan.
Another helpful approach is desensitization. You can gently introduce your dog to the sounds of storms by playing recorded thunderstorm tracks at a very low volume during calm times—while offering super yummy treats so they associate the noise with good things. Slowly, over days or weeks, you can increase the volume as they stay relaxed. This kind of practice can help reduce panic when real storms roll in.
You can read a more in-depth blog post on thunderstorm fears and dealing with them here.
Blue-Green Algae Dangers
Some New England lakes and ponds are prone to blue-green algae blooms in summer, which can be deadly if your dog drinks the water or even licks their fur after swimming. If you see green scum, strange discoloration, or the water smells bad—stay out. After any swim in a natural body of water, rinse your dog thoroughly to wash off potential contaminants.
A friend recently told me about these kits that test for blue-green algae. Disclaimer, I haven’t personally used them, so use caution around any suspicious bodies of water this summer.
Water Intoxication
Believe it or not, dogs can drink too much water—especially when they’re fetching toys in the lake or pool for long stretches. When dogs swallow excessive water, it can throw off their sodium balance, leading to dangerous water intoxication. Keep play sessions in the water short, and give your dog breaks to rest and shake off.
Insect Stings & Bites
Summer bugs aren’t just annoying for humans—they can cause real problems for dogs, too. Ticks, mosquitoes, bees, and wasps are all out in full force. Keep your dog on a veterinarian-recommended flea and tick preventative, and give them a thorough once-over after walks in grassy or wooded areas. If your dog is stung and shows signs of swelling or difficulty breathing, seek vet care right away.
Summer Pet Adventure Checklist:
For Every Outing:
✔️ Collar with ID tags (and updated microchip info) ✔️ Leash (plus a spare—just in case!) ✔️ Poop bags ✔️ Water bowl & fresh water ✔️ Treats or snacks (for rewards or trail energy) ✔️ Favorite toy or chew (for car rides or relaxing) ✔️ Towel (for drying off after swimming or muddy fun) ✔️ Blanket or travel mat (for shady resting or picnics)
For Longer Adventures or Hikes:
(all of the above plus)
✔️ Portable dog-friendly first aid kit ✔️ Collapsible food bowl & meals (if away during feeding times) ✔️ Bug repellent wipes or spray (safe for dogs) ✔️ Paw balm (for hot pavement or rocky trails) ✔️ Cooling vest, bandana, or mat (for extra warm days) ✔️ Dog booties (if hiking on rough or hot surfaces)
A little preparation makes all the difference—so you and your dog can soak up every day trip, hike, and backyard gathering without worry. And remember, after a long, cozy winter spent napping on the couch (for both us and our pups!), it’s tempting to jump right into big summer adventures. But just like us, our dogs need a little time to ease back into shape. Start with shorter walks or play sessions to rebuild stamina and gently strengthen muscles before tackling those epic hikes or all-day outings. A gradual ramp-up keeps them happy, healthy, and ready for a season full of tail-wagging fun!
Believe, Asher and I have some super fun plans for the next few months with plenty of hiking, swimming and camping planned! So let’s all stay safe, stay smart, and have an unforgettable summer full of wagging tails and happy memories! Be sure to share plenty of photos so we can all share in your summer fun!

Some sessions stay with me long after the camera is packed away—and this was one of them.
When Lori reached out, it was clear how deeply her family loves their sweet girl, Carley. This wasn’t an ordinary photo session—it was a gift for her daughter Amanda, who grew up with Carley by her side. Amanda is getting married this summer, and while she had chosen a dog-friendly venue in hopes of including Carley in the celebration, life had other plans. With Carley’s cancer returning, the heartbreaking truth was that she likely wouldn’t be able to attend in person. But through these images, her presence would still be felt.
We chose Ogunquit Beach for our session, a place filled with meaning and happy memories for the whole family. And Carley absolutely lit up. At 11 years old, you might expect her to be slowing down—but not Carley. She romped in the sand, played fetch with her tail wagging high, and soaked up every moment like a pup half her age. She was all grace and goofiness, the perfect combination of princess and playful.
What struck me most was how deeply in tune she was with Amanda. The way Carley looked to her, leaned into her, and responded with quiet trust—it was clear they’ve been through life together, side by side. These are the connections that shape us, and it was such an honor to capture that kind of love.
Carley’s story is a reminder of how much love one dog can hold—and how deeply they become part of the fabric of our lives.
Sessions like this remind me why I do what I do. It’s a privilege to help preserve these memories and celebrate the dogs who mean the world to us. Dogs like Carley leave a forever mark on our hearts, and I’m so grateful to help tell their stories.

Some love stories begin with a chance meeting, others with a little help from friends… and then there’s Jackson, the ultimate matchmaker who helped his dad, Sam, find the love of his life. Honestly, can there be a better wingman than a dog?
Jackson and McKinley are so much more than pets—they’re family, best friends, and constant sources of laughter and love. Jackson is a trained therapy dog showing that his heart is just as big as his fluffy paws. And McKinley is a sweet girl with a mischievous side whose penchant for ripping up cardboard is perfect for recycling day.
When we met for their session, it was clear from the start that these four are inseparable. Before the zoomies, the romping, and the beach splashing took over, we made sure to capture a (clean and dry) family portrait to celebrate their bond. The way Jackson and McKinley look to their humans with love and devotion, always in tune with each other, is something truly special.
After those quiet moments, it was time for the craziness to begin. We headed to the surf and sand for some action portraits—ball chasing, splashing, and all the joyful energy these two could muster. There were balls to be chased down, siblings to wrestle with and clear ocean waves to bound through, and these two were ready for it!
This is my ideas of a perfect session – capturing the heartwarming bond between dogs and their families, mixed with the pure excitement and joy they bring to our lives.
Jackson may have been the matchmaker who brought two people together, but now he and McKinley are the true heart of a family full of love, laughter, and joy. It was so much fun capturing their playful energy and special connection. I’m so thankful I got to be part of this moment in their lives.
Thinking about booking a professional portrait session for your dog but have some doubts? You’re not alone! Let’s bust the three biggest myths about dog photography so you can stop worrying and start getting excited!
Myth #1: My dog needs to be perfectly trained for a portrait session.
Fact: Nope! Your dog just needs to be themselves. Whether they know every trick in the book or think “sit” is optional, I work with dogs of all energy levels and personalities. I don’t expect dogs to be perfectly posed the whole time—that’s just not realistic. Action shots, candid moments, and playful zoomies all make for incredible images. Some of the most authentic, personality-filled images come from dogs just being their goofy, lovable selves.
And since 95% of the dogs I photograph are ON LEASH for the entire session (and then the leashes are edited out later), there is NO training requirement for an fun, amazing portrait session

Perfect Puppy Model
Myth #2: My senior dog is too old for a photoshoot.
Fact: Some of the most emotional and meaningful sessions I capture are with senior dogs. These sessions celebrate the deep bond you’ve built over the years and ensure you’ll have timeless images to cherish forever. Senior dogs get priority scheduling and we make sure the location we choose takes into consideration any mobility challenges your senior may have. Older dogs may move a little slower, but that just gives us more time to soak in the moment and create something truly special.
This 16 year old man rocked his beach session!
Myth #3: I already have tons of photos on my phone—I don’t need professional ones.
Fact: We all have hundreds (okay, thousands) of dog photos on our phones, but let’s be honest—how many of them are actually frame-worthy? When is the last time you’ve looked at them? A professional session goes beyond quick snapshots. It captures your dog’s personality, your bond, and the little moments you never want to forget in a way that phone photos just can’t. Plus, you’ll finally have stunning images in your home that you’ll see and enjoy every day! Much better than being buried in your camera roll.
Your dog’s portrait where you can see it everyday, priceless!
A session with your dog isn’t about perfection—it’s about preserving the moments that matter most. Ready to capture your story? Let’s chat!

Take a quick scroll through your phone. Chances are, you have hundreds—if not thousands—of pictures of your dog. Them snoozing on the couch, playing fetch, or gazing lovingly at you from across the room. But here’s a question: how many photos do you have of you and your dog together?
For most people, the answer is “not many” or even “none.” It’s easy to get caught up in capturing the cuteness of your pup while staying behind the camera yourself. But years from now, you might find yourself longing for images that show not just their personality, but the love and connection you shared.
Capturing the Bond You Share
Your dog isn’t a pet—they’re family. They’re your hiking buddy, your snuggle partner, your reason to smile after a long day. Portraits of just your dog are lovely, but they don’t tell the full story. They don’t capture the way their eyes light up when you laugh, the wag of their tail as you call their name, or how they lean into you during quiet moments.
That’s why your session isn’t just about posed portraits. While classic portraits are timeless and elegant, some of the most meaningful images are those unscripted, candid moments. A game of tug-of-war, a playful romp in the park, or the way they snuggle into you on a lazy afternoon—these are the stories of your relationship, the everyday magic that makes your bond unique.
Feeling Self-Conscious? You’re Not Alone
One of the most common reasons people, especially we women, shy away from being in photos is because they don’t like the way they look. Maybe you’re self-conscious about your hair, your weight, or how you’ll come across in pictures. It’s a vulnerable feeling, and I understand—it’s something so many of us struggle with.
But here’s the thing: when your dog looks at you, they don’t see imperfections—they see their person, their whole world. That’s who we’re capturing in these photos—the way you love and care for your dog, and the way they adore you in return. Trust me when I say that years down the road, you won’t care if your hair was messy or if you weren’t at your goal weight. What you’ll see is the bond you shared, the love in both your eyes, and the story of a moment that can never be recreated.
Why These Photos Matter
As much as we hate to think about it, our dogs aren’t with us forever. Photos are a way to keep their spirit alive in your home, but imagine looking back and not seeing yourself in those memories. Being in the photos makes the memories even more real—it’s not just about them, but about you and them.
Years from now, you’ll be grateful for the pictures that show you both as you truly were: inseparable companions who shared a bond like no other.
Are You Ready to Capture Your Bond?
You and your dog deserve to be celebrated—to see your connection immortalized in stunning, timeless artwork. These photos will serve as a daily reminder of the love, joy, and companionship your dog has brought to your life. It’s not just a portrait session; it’s a celebration of a one-of-a-kind relationship.
Let’s create something beautiful together. A collection of portraits that captures the essence of your dog, the moments you share, and the bond that makes your relationship so extraordinary. You both deserve this, and I’m here to help make it a reality.
