Gotcha Day photos | Olive
WOW! This story of sweet Olive is amazing! Her mom wanted Gotcha Day Photos to celebrate Olive's one year adoption anniversary this month! Last year she saw that Priceless Pets Rescue was in need of adopters for the Beagles they rescued from a breeding facility. Mom knew Olive was meant for her after seeing her photo! She adopted Olive from Priceless Pets Rescue and has given her the best care in a loving forever home since February 24, 2022. Gotcha day photos at the park After they found my SoCal petite photo sessions online, we chatted and planned the date and location of their Gotcha...
Photos Of Our New Dog | Meet Baby!
Here's my Velcro Dog. Meet "Baby!" After losing our dog to cancer in late March 2022, we had casually begun searching for a new doggie companion in November 2022. Of course there is no replacing, only adding to our family. How We DISCOVERED Her My sister had been sending me photos of adoptable dogs, from which I noticed a lab rescue with some adorable labradors that needed rescue. Given the fact our past gal was a lab / shepherd mix, I was naturally drawn to a lab. This rescue had a call out for fostering (as SO many rescues are asking for now that people have dumped their COVID dogs). ...
Horse Photographer Orange County
I'm a Horse Photographer in Orange County that was ecstatic to finally meet "Jack" in San Juan Capistrano. His mom had me photograph their dogs year after year and knew it was now time for horse photographs too, especially to share Jack with friends and family on their holiday card this year! You can see below they will not just have holiday cards from their photo session, but also some beautiful fine art prints to hang on the wall and remember that adorable face that is so loved! By the way, Jack Shadow used to be a stunt horse! He is an older fella now and his mom knew him from long...
Christmas photos with dogs | aliso viejo
Christmas photos with dogs at home in Aliso Viejo, CA! Aren't they so cute in their holiday sweaters?! We had fun getting some great photos to use for their holiday cards and some beautiful fine art prints to hang up on the wall. The Christmas photos with dogs portrait session provided about 8 favorites they have now to remember forever these days in their lives with Gracie, Maggie and Kelsey (pictured L to R above). Kelsey loved running around hearing herself jingle jangle due to the bells on her sweater! I used their favorite words and some silly noises to get their attention. Everyone...
ORANGE COUNTY DOG BEACH PHOTOS | JD
These Orange County dog beach photos in San Clemente for JD were special. Mom knew they were going to be saying goodbye to JD soon. He had hemgiosarcoma (a type of cancer, which my senior dog also passed from 8 months ago). Senior dogs are THE BEST, aren't they? They are my favorites to photograph. I feel they are so wise, loving and ready to please. JD definitely was right beside mom ready to do whatever we needed him to. JD and his mom are a very special duo as they (and JD's dad) started a non-profit called Dogs on Deployment that helps...
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DOG BEACH PORTRAITS | KOA
These Southern California dog beach portraits for Koa spoke straight to the heart - for Koa's mom as for me. We took a peek behind the camera that evening after their pet photography session and were both moved. I knew Koa had been fighting cancer. In fact, mom shared that "Koa has been through a lot over the last year fighting cancer, two surgeries, 17 radiation treatments and one especially resistant bacterial urinary tract infection." You would NEVER know this if you met them at the beach watching them surf and play together! We were there for over an hour and Koa NEVER stopped running...
End of life pet photos | Orange, CA
Sweet Ginger's mom called to ask about end of life pet photos for her elderly dog. Yes, I could meet them that week and photograph their girl in the City of Orange. They chose Eisenhower Park, which had plenty of beautiful spots for me to photograph their family all together. Senior dog, Ginger, enjoyed all the snuggles from each of her girls and even posed for a photo with her younger crazy sister, Luna. They are an adorable duo, right?! We DID photoshop a bit on that one and grabbed another image of Ginger that was better to pair with Luna. I'm all for keeping everyone comfortable and...

Pictures of a Senior SoCal Cat
Spice, when photographed at home in Southern California, was 22 years old! That's impressive, right?! I followed him around from a distance and photographed him as he sat on the couch, took a stroll in the backyard, and came back indoors to snuggle with mom. Spice's mom had invited me out to take pictures of this senior SoCal cat since she knew she would have to say goodbye to him soon. He wanted to be right under mom's chin. Notice the water drop on his chin? We were giving him plenty of food and water breaks and had just come back from his water bowl. Pictures of a Senior SoCal Cat Mom...
