Meet Perriwrinkle, a 9-year-old English Bulldog wi Meet Perriwrinkle, a 9-year-old English Bulldog with the dopiest smile and the biggest personality. She’s incredibly sweet, a total goober, and an absolute ham in front of the camera. If there’s a treat involved, Perriwrinkle is all in… sitting, posing, and flashing her signature grin without hesitation.

At nine years old, Perriwrinkle knows exactly who she is, and her confidence and character shine through in every photo. Her wrinkles, expressions, and playful energy make each image feel authentic and full of life. She had so much energy, I would never have guessed she was that old!

What makes this session even more meaningful is the bond she shares with her mom, Kirby. Perriwrinkle isn’t just a pet — she’s family. Capturing photos of dogs with their people tells a deeper story, preserving the connection and love that defines their relationship.

If you’ve been thinking about booking a pet photography session, especially with your dog, this is your sign. These moments matter, and they deserve to be documented — goofy smiles, treats, and all. 🐾 #bulldoglovers #atxdogs #atxdogstagram #bulldogsofig #bulldogloversofinsta
Some sessions stay with you long after you pack up Some sessions stay with you long after you pack up your camera, and my time with River and Miley was definitely one of them. From the moment their humans first reached out, I knew these two Australian Cattle Dogs were going to make for a heartfelt, personality-filled session.

River, at about 8.5 years old, was exactly as her family described her—sweet, calm, and most comfortable in the safety of her own home. She doesn’t love leaving the house, so keeping the session at their residence was the perfect choice. Once she took a little time to warm up, River settled into the session beautifully. Her soft expressions, her cautious but trusting glances, and her gentle presence created some of the most tender images from the day.

Miley, around 7 years old, brought a completely different energy to the session—in the best way. She was friendly from the moment I stepped inside, happy to greet me with wide eyes, wagging tail, and a whole lot of enthusiasm. Miley’s playful confidence added a lively rhythm to the day, and she provided no shortage of big smiles and silly moments.

We also captured some portraits with their humans as a family. Photographing River and Miley in their home environment was the perfect way to bring out their authentic personalities. River felt safe and relaxed, Miley thrived with attention, and together they created a session full of warmth, humor, and heart.
This sweet session was extra special — it came abo This sweet session was extra special — it came about thanks to Paws for a Cause Benefiting Addicus’ Legacy, where Moomoo and Inès’ family bid on and won a pet photography session certificate last year. I was so excited to finally meet these two adorable girls in person and capture their unique personalities.

Moomoo, at 13 years old, was such a calm and gentle soul. She had that wise, relaxed demeanor that only comes with age, and she posed like she’s done this a hundred times before. Her soft expressions and sweet eyes made for some of my favorite portraits of the day.

Inès, on the other hand, brought all the youthful energy! At just 3 years old, she was full of curiosity and playfulness, making sure we kept things fun and lighthearted throughout the shoot. Between her joyful energy and Moomoo’s peaceful presence, they made the perfect pair.

We headed to one of my favorite park locations — a quiet, natural spot that always gives beautiful light and plenty of room for pets to relax and explore. I loved being able to capture both individual portraits of Moomoo and Inès, as well as a few sweet moments of them together. Their bond was so evident, and it really shined through in the photos.

Sessions like this are such a wonderful reminder of why I love what I do — celebrating the relationships between pets and their people, and preserving these moments forever. Moomoo and Inès’ shoot was filled with love, laughter, and a few well-earned treats. I’m so glad we could create something special for their family to treasure. 💛

Some sessions carry a little extra meaning and thi Some sessions carry a little extra meaning and this one was truly special. Moose and Ellie have spent their entire lives side by side, and their family wanted to capture that lifelong bond while the weather was still beautiful.

Moose, an elderly corgi, has been with his family for many wonderful years. Though he’s getting toward the end of his journey, his gentle spirit and sweet expression said everything about the love he’s given (and received) over the years. Ellie, his loyal chow mix sister, was right by his side — as she always has been — calm, patient, and quietly watchful.

Their humans joined in for this session, wanting some heartfelt portraits that truly reflect their life together as a family. We decided on an outdoor setting, one of my favorite natural spots that offers soft light, open space, and the kind of peaceful atmosphere that lets pets feel comfortable and at ease.

What made this session so special was the genuine connection between everyone — the little glances, the quiet moments, and the way Moose leaned into his people like he knew exactly why we were there. Ellie, ever the steady companion, seemed to understand too. Together, they created a beautiful energy that made every photo feel warm and full of love.

We focused on capturing both individual portraits and family shots, but my favorite images were the ones that showed Moose and Ellie together — their lifelong friendship in one frame.

Sessions like this are a reminder of how powerful photography can be. It’s not just about beautiful pictures; it’s about preserving the feeling of love, loyalty, and connection that pets bring into our lives. Moose and Ellie’s bond is something their family will treasure forever, and I’m so honored to have helped capture that.
I recently had the pleasure of photographing Ducki I recently had the pleasure of photographing Duckie, a big orange boy with a personality as warm as his fur. Duckie is an almost 7-year-old cat who was a little shy at first, but once he got comfortable, his playful and affectionate side came shining through.

According to his mom, Duckie’s favorite thing—aside from eating—is curling up on a lap, as long as there’s a soft pillow involved. Once he spots the perfect cushion, he’s quick to claim his spot and settle in for cuddles. His humans make sure he gets plenty of love and playtime, especially with his favorite toys: his Lion house, tunnel, and the feather string toy that never fails to get him running.

Duckie had a dental procedure back in 2023 and had to have his top fangs extracted, which gives him the funniest (and most endearing) expressions. During the session, those unique little looks made for some of my favorite portraits—each one showing off his curious and sweet personality in a way that felt truly him.

This photoshoot was extra special because it celebrated his 7th birthday—his “lucky number seven.” We focused on capturing Duckie’s charm, his cozy moments, and a few playful shots that showed his goofy side. By the end of the session, he was posing like a pro, soaking up all the attention and camera time.

It was such a joy to document this milestone for Duckie and his family. Every pet has their quirks and signature looks, and Duckie’s photos perfectly capture what makes him one of a kind. Here’s to seven years of love, laughter, and lap cuddles for this handsome orange boy. 🧡
🌈🐾 Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day Today holds a 🌈🐾 Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 

Today holds a special place in my heart as we remember the beloved pets who now wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. Having said goodbye to a fur baby of my own, I know the ache that comes with missing those little faces, the empty spots on the couch, and the love that lingers long after they’re gone. 💔

Our pets may no longer walk beside us, but their paw prints stay forever on our hearts. 💜

If you’re remembering a sweet soul today, know you’re not alone. Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever remembered. 🌈✨

Some photo sessions go beyond capturing cute faces Some photo sessions go beyond capturing cute faces and perfect lighting—they become love letters in real time. This was one of those sessions.

I recently photographed a trio of small but mighty pups: Near, a wise and gentle 4-year-old Malshi; Rem, his lively Chipoo sister at 3 years old; and Gyuvin, the tiniest and newest addition to the family—a curious and fluffy 8-month-old Pom mix with the kind of puppy energy that lights up a room. Their mom reached out for a special reason: Near, who was diagnosed with a high-grade mast cell tumor in March, is doing as well as he can post-surgery, but his prognosis is limited. The goal? To freeze this moment in time while he’s still thriving—surrounded by his pack, his person, and so much love.

This session was filled with everything I love about dogs: wagging tails, floppy ears, a bit of yapping (thanks, Gyuvin!), and plenty of treat-fueled enthusiasm. Despite the differences in age and personality, the bond between these three was undeniable. Near, ever the seasoned pro, wore his outfits with ease like he was born for the spotlight. Halloween matching costumes? This guy has experience. Rem brought the sass and sparkle, while Gyuvin gave us a bit of that chaotic puppy energy and infectious joy that only an 8-month-old can.

There was laughter, some posing chaos (as expected), and a lot of snuggling. And behind every photo was a deep, unspoken truth: the importance of holding onto now.

Sessions like these are a gentle reminder that photography isn’t just about preserving a look—it’s about honoring a life. Near may be facing a hard road ahead, but his story is far from over. These images will forever celebrate who he is: the heart of the family, the calm in the middle of the playful storm, the one who started it all.

To Near, Rem, Gyuvin, and Lea, thank you for letting me be a part of your story.
