Marlie Grace + Fergie

Marlie’s Grace’s session took place the day after Thanksgiving. Once you scroll down and see the images, you’ll know why that is of significance. We were seriously on a boat! In Lake Norman!!! At the end of November!!!! What? This winter has definitely had it’s share of craziness!

But on to the adorable Marlie Grace…

Jake and Odin

Jake and Odin

Get ready for some serious #puglife cuteness overload!!!

Jake and Odin mean business when it comes to rockin’ it out for a shoot. They both immediately went into superstar mode and did their thing for the camera. It was pretty comical to watch. They even did amazing for their group shots - always hard images to capture!

Because of their fabulous talents, we were able to quickly explore all different parts of Jetton Park in Cornelius, including the golden... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Tsunami, Rylie, Turk and Tilda

Tsunami, Rylie, Turk and Tilda

When you photograph four dogs in one session, it can get to be hard work. Throw in an impending thunderstorm, and the pressure is ON! Thankfully, during this photo shoot, I had four amazing furry models that made the entire experience such a pleasure.

The main focus of the session was sweet Tsunami, a 14-year-young Doberman. She has some mobility issues so we stayed close to home so she'd be comfortable. She was able to hang out in the yard and watch as the rainbow came... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Harper Lee and Jane Austen

Harper Lee and Jane Austen

If you know that slightest thing about literature, you'll get a kick out of Harper Lee and Jane Austen's names. I mean, how adorable is that clever combo?

Believe it or not, Harper Lee is actually a happy, goofy, white Goldendoodle while Jane Austen is a tiny, squirmy King Charles puppy. Together, they are just plain ol' adorable.

We spent their pet portrait session hanging out on their porch and backyard. I was told they spend countless hours propped up on the half-wall of the patio just staring out at Lake Norman while... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Zena & Lucy

Zena & Lucy

Zena and Lucy are two little cuddlebugs that flaunted their best head tilts for the camera a couple weeks ago. 

Zena, the white Maltese, was so interested in the funny sounds coming from my mouth. She looked at the camera so inquisitively and I had a great time capturing some of those funny expressions. Lucy on the other hand, had me figured out. She knew if she... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Jimmy

Jimmy's story is one of survival, love, heartbreak, and triumph.

Just before Labor Day 2014, Jimmy started having trouble with his leg. Having thought it might be a sprain, his parents took him over to their vet. They were quickly sent off to a specialist for x-rays. Doubts and questions started to form because why would they be sent to a specialist for a little sprain?

Well it turns out the vet made the right call. The specialist found that... (click on the image above to continue reading)

Snoopy and Ollie

Snoopy and Ollie

The idea of an Angel Session is never easy on a pet parent. Therefore, I try to keep the shoot lighthearted and fun and we try to focus on the positive. For example, the evening of Ollie and Snoopy's session, the weather cooperated gorgeously and we had a great, relaxing time hanging out around the house. We had scheduled plenty of time since we were starting with a kitty (and you never know how they'll react to a session) so everyone had the chance to be...

The fall colors popped a little later than usual this year so Abby's family lucked out during their session. We thought we'd miss prime leaf-changing but Mother Nature surprised us!

Dear Abby's session (get it? hehe!) turned out to have some of the best color of all my Fall sessions. And Abby's gorgeous coloring was just the icing on the gold and orange cake!

Our session took place at Jetton Park on the banks...
