To celebrate Evie’s first birthday, Cheryl contacted me to have some professional photos taken. It was a beautiful spring day in Ann Arbor (which sadly, does not last long enough here in Michigan), and we were able to capture some of the gorgeous colors in the background along with Evie’s beautiful smile and surrounded with love from all of her hoo-mans.
Happy New Year! It’s 2019, 19 years since the infamous Y2K, and we’re all still here. Hard to believe we’re almost two decades past the millennium!
As I reflect back on my business these past 8 years, so much has changed, yet also some things haven’t. I recently started doing destination sessions in different cities across the country to incorporate my love of travel with what I do. Last year, I went to NYC, Chicago, Scottsdale, Traverse City, and Los Angeles. This year I’ll be adding Austin, TX; Denver, CO; Roanoke, VA and San Francisco, CA to the list (message me for more info!). For those who live in Michigan, don’t worry! My home base will always be Michigan, so I’ll still be here to do pet photoshoots throughout the year.
Despite each city being so different (and it’s definitely been interesting navigating each location and figuring out the best places to photograph. I can honestly say, I think I’ve seen more of each city than most people that live there. 😂), one common thread remains– an undeniable love for our furry friends. I’m so excited that I get to continue to do what I love and share images and stories of the beloved pets in our lives. Thank you so much for following me on my journey, and I hope I get to hear and photograph your pet love story one day, too!
For today’s post, I’d like to share with you images from two furry pups that I’m currently obsessed with; Opie + Moose (Follow them on Instagram @adventures_of_opieandmoose_. Jackie received a photo session from her sister as a birthday gift, which timed perfectly with the arrival of her second Aussie puppy, Moose. If I could sum up Opie + Moose’s relationship in a sentence, it’d be Moose–the annoying little sibling that wants to do everything his big brother is doing, haha. The expressions on Moose and Opie’s faces while they’re playing are classic.
Thanks Jackie and Jon for such a fun sesh! :)
Monica contacted me about five days before Christmas in search of the perfect gift for her boyfriend, Vince. Knowing that he was obsessed with his dog, Delilah–who he’s had since she was a tiny puppy– thought it would be a sweet idea to gift him with a custom pet photography session. (I’m not sure what his response was when he opened up his present that day, but hopefully, he was stoked! Haha)
We met up at Chaparral Park and then walked over to Camelback park to capture Delilah doing one of the things she loves doing the most–which is playing ball! (If you can’t tell how much she loves it through these photos, I don’t know what to tell you) During the middle of our photoshoot, we spotted one of those Rent-A-Bikes laying on the sidewalk and had the inspiration of photographing her in the basket. Delilah wasn’t crazy about the idea, but we still managed to get some cute photos from it (see towards end of entry for one of my faves).
As always, I had such a hard time deciding which ones to share. The three of them were so fun to work with, and so laid-back, they made the photoshoot really easy. I’m almost tempted to create a storybook of their session, just so you can see all of them. 🤔
Thanks Monica, Vince, and Delilah! It was so awesome meeting and working with you guys! :)
(P.S. Random fun fact: I almost kept on accidentally calling Delilah, Daphne. I photographed another Mini Tri-Color Aussie, named Daphne in Scottsdale, last May. Maybe I’m just getting old!)
