I had the pleasure of photographing Teddy the Gold I had the pleasure of photographing Teddy the Goldendoodle with his mom, Kathy. They had done some portraits before when they lived in Arizona with a beautiful mountain background, but Kathy was looking for some new photos with an ‘Austin’ vibe and some greenery. I think we achieved that! We were shooting in the evening, right before sunset, also known as the golden hour, which worked beautifully with Teddy’s fur coloring. Teddy was so very sweet and definitely a big ol’ mama’s boy. There was a noticeable difference in Teddy’s smile when he’s right next to Kathy and when he’s not. Honestly, it was precious seeing how much Teddy adores Kathy. We still got some great photos of Teddy by himself, but I love the shots we got of them together, both posed and candid! So cute!

It was so much fun photographing Mack, the 4-year- It was so much fun photographing Mack, the 4-year-old Black Lab mix, and Charlie, the 1-and-a-half-year-old Great Pyrenees / Great Dane mix, the other week! For one, these two are just adorable and eager to please! Mack was very interested in his tennis ball and that came in very handy for shots with him. Charlie was more food-motivated, so we used that to our advantage with him. Otherwise, we used the tried-and-true method of me making all kinds of ridiculous sounds behind the lens to get the dogs to look with their ears up.

You might recognize the star of this post, Scarlet You might recognize the star of this post, Scarlett, because this is her second photoshoot with me! Scarlett is a gorgeous Pyrenees-mix and I was so excited when her dad, Daniel, reached out to set up another session. Daniel was in the photos with Scarlett, too, but we’re only sharing the ones of Scarlett by herself for the time being – don’t worry; the ones of them together were super cute! Scarlett’s beautiful coloring really popped in the golden hour sun and how cute is her orange bandana?! It was so much fun capturing another round of photos of Scarlett and I’m always especially honored when I get repeat clients. I always do a little something-something for return clients to show my appreciation for your continued trust in my skills and vision as a photographer.

Cheeto is an orange tabby kitten with a big person Cheeto is an orange tabby kitten with a big personality! He was rescued by his mom and dad, and it's clear to see how much they love him. He is very energetic and rambunctious but also loves to nap and snuggle. His favorite things are playing in his tunnels, chasing his butterfly, and catching his mouse. He loves to be in front of a camera, so we had a fun and easy session, especially as far as cats go. Cats, especially, dictate how the session goes and we adapt to whatever they seem to like best. We ended up with some really cute shots of Cheeto!

This session marked a first for me – a together This session marked a first for me – a together session with both a dog and a cat! I was up for the challenge, and we got some really cute family shots of everybody together. Linda and Marcus created some matching collars for both Roxy and Juniper that I absolutely LOVED! Without further ado, let me introduce you to the fur babies! We have Roxy, the Pitbull-mix, who was very food-motivated and cooperated quite well with some tasty bribes. A good treat bag shake by me led to some adorable shots. Then we had Juniper, the gorgeous white and grey cat. As most cat sessions tend to go, she was a little apprehensive of a new person with a big black thing in front of their face. We still managed some cute shots by keeping my distance and letting Juniper get more comfortable in front of the camera. The focus was some group, family-style photos and we definitely achieved that!
