Baxter’s 11th Doggie Birthday Party
Look at the world's most handsome dog! Yes. He is mine. Yes. I know I'm biased. But in completely unbiased honesty...he truly is the most handsome dog in the world. This is his 11th doggie birthday party photo session! Baxter turned 11 years old in mid-June. I'd kind...
Clyde – Golden Hour Pet Session
Love hurts. Don't get me wrong. I do think it's magical and wonderful and makes life worth living for. But to experience the greatness of love, you have to be willing to experience the loss of love and the pain that loss brings with it. This is something we as...
Shadow’s Senior Soul Session – Downtown Garner Photography
Shadow was such a great and gentle soul and he had a loving home for as long as a dog could dream. Shadow and his siblings were born behind mom Tracy's office twelve years ago in Angier. Tracy saw a female terrier, obviously pregnant, hanging around the office. She...
Oliver the Terrier – Dog Action Shots
Oliver was a super star model! Most photo sessions take about an hour from greeting, to shooting to loving on the pets to showing mom and dad product samples at the end while the pups are back in the car enjoying the AC. I think Oliver set a record for shortest...

Suzie – Senior pet photo session
It only takes a second to fall in love. Which certainly is the magical thing about pets! No matter how much time we have with them, they fill our hearts and homes and always leave a hole when it's their time to say goodbye. Tori and Suzie thankfully had about 16...
Daisy and Ella – North Raleigh Pet Photographer
Daisy is the strong, silent type while Ella is small and sassy. Mikki and Hector lost their sweet mastiff Otis unexpectedly this winter. After some time, they were ready to adopt again and rescued Daisy. Daisy is a sweet three-year-old English Mastiff with adorable...
Abby – Raleigh Rat Terrier
The best way to describe Abby is just how her mom Nicole describes her. "Abby is the sweetest old girl and, until recently, nobody believed she was 12 because of how spry she was. Now she has the 'I'm old and will do what I want' attitude and I love it." That about...
