Any day is a good day to adopt a new furry friend, Any day is a good day to adopt a new furry friend, but today is #AdoptAShelterPetDay so we thought it the perfect day to share our adoption story! You may already know that this is one of my dogs, Sophie. We adopted her and Marley during the pandemic; they are a bonded pair of seniors. That was almost two years ago! They have been the light of our lives ever since! Sophie and Marley were scooped up from Wake County Animal Shelter and placed with a foster through @bestfriendpetadoption! Sophie is our official sofa tester and keeps us on our toes! Stay tuned for a post about Marley! ​​​​​​​​

We know just how special the bond is between us an We know just how special the bond is between us and our pets – but there seems to be something especially magical about the bond between a kid and their very own critter. Did you have pets as a kid? Do you have kids with pets? Were you not allowed pets when you were little? Share in the comments below!​​​​​​​​
...From a young age my sister and I would write letters to Santa asking for a dog, create presentations for our parents were we provided some solid arguments for getting a dog! Finally at age 12 my dad allowed us to get a golden retriever puppy; we named her Penny. ​​​​​​​​
...Penny was a great friend, she really provided therapy after losing our mom. These amazing gifts that pets give us inspire me to create a photography experience that celebrates them!​​​​​​​​

One of the most common questions pet parents wond One of the most common questions  pet parents wonder for a photo shoot is what location they should use for the session. Are you wondering the same thing? I put together my expert tips listing things to consider! When we chat about your session I'll also provide specific suggestions based on your pet's needs and your preferences! ​​​​​​​​
...​​​​​​​​
1) How does your dog do in new environments? If your dog is a bit wary of new settings and people consider having a session in your home. If you think your dog would do better outside of the home then reaching your session location about 20 minutes before the shoot will give you dog time to explore and acclimate to his surroundings.​​​​​​​​
..​​​​​​​​
2) Does your dog have mobility issues? If so you would want the session in your home or at a location that has many photo opportunities in a small area. I have several locations that fit the bill! ​​​​​​​​
