Life with a senior dog is never boring. Within one week, we had four vet related appointments.

Goodbye mud, bugs, and boob sweat. Hello creative studio magic, perfect lighting, and happy, relaxed pets.

Losing a beloved pet changes everything. The silence in the house feels louder. Their favorite spots feel painfully empty. And while friends and family may care, they do not always understand the depth of the bond you have lost.

With recent hurricanes like Helene and Milton, I've been thinking more about what I would do if I had to quickly evacuate with Lili.

I headed over to ready.gov to find out some ways I can be ready in case we ever need to evacuate.

Here are some tips from ready.gov and what I’ve learned as a pet death doula to help you prepare for the unexpected.

Losing a pet is one of the hardest experiences many of us with pets will ever face. For some, losing a pet is harder than losing a human in their life.  For those who may not have experienced it firsthand, it’s easy to not fully understand the grief that comes with the loss of a beloved animal companion.

I recently had the opportunity to photograph five wonderful rescue dogs for Pet Connect Rescue in my Ashburn, Virginia studio. What a fun day it was getting to know these amazing dogs.

Lance was terrified of loud noises and fireworks and thunderstorms were difficult for him. Here are some ways to help your pet during a noise event.

Tomorrow will mark six months since Lance’s passing. Do you know how many people in my life haven’t said a word to me about Lance’s death?

Five months. Five months since I said good-bye to Lance.

Mark your calendars! Here are some of the special events we have planned for 2024.

When you schedule a session with me, I ask you what treats your dog likes and what rewards they like to receive.

I often tell people Lance lived his life with a sense of gratitude.

Exciting news to share!!!! Starting January, 204 we will once again be opening the doors to our Ashburn, Virginia studio for your dog’s studio photography session.

What are some of the advantages of having a studio session?

It is with great sadness to let you know our beloved Lance Koa has passed away. He was and will always be a good boy.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to do a documentary project on farm life for a documentary photography class I was taking. I was able to visit several farms in Northern Virginia and Loudoun County.

Miss Daisy had her portrait studio session in November.

I took Lili to the vet to get her acupuncture treatment last Friday.

We went in and I noticed it was quiet in the vet’s office. I saw the candle up indicating there was a pet being euthanized. They let us know they would be running late today. I said that was ok and Lili and I would walk around and asked if they could call us when it was ok to come back. Lili gets barky and I did not want the family disturbed by Lili's barking.
