Olivia came bounding straight to me when she showed up for her shoot at the trailhead in north Scottsdale. Cuddles and treats with a stranger were the only thing on her mind. Behind that cute little Frenchie block head and gigantic smile, you would never have any idea that she was fighting mast cell tumors. And that’s how I wanted to keep it.
When your client requests cool, fun, candid shots, ya know they came to the right place! And with names like Wall-E and Wile-E, I had a feeling it was going to come naturally. And to boot…this session was with a pair of Pugs! Oh yeah!!!
Meet these almost identical couple of pups! We spent the late afternoon playing in their grandparents’ backyard. We ran around, did some posing, and (most importantly) got to play
Millie, Toby, and Pepper were quite the Oreo triad! Two big black pups sandwiching a precious little cream doggo. Lol!
Sadly, the sweet cream filling of this particular cookie hasn’t been having the best time and, at only 6 years old, has been diagnosed with cancer. Ugh. This is Millie, a very mom-attached cutie

And better yet…his mom’s still got to be involved!!
I’m a huge fan of Rotties. Like HUGE! In fact, I want to adopt one at some point and name him Barry. Oh yeah!!! That’s because they are big cuddly bears with giant handsome block heads! So Barry for bear. Makes sense in my mind. Lol!
Anyway…onto the superstar of this session that took place on a BEAUTIFUL evening down in Saguaro National Park. This is Sora!
So perhaps one of the advantages of dating a pet photographer is a surprise photo shoot as a Christmas gift!
One afternoon, I snuck away with my boyfriend’s pup, Penelope, for a fun shoot in the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. He had NO CLUE we were doing a session behind his back. He thought we were just going
Scamper and Loki are THE definition of adventure dogs. They live the luckiest lives and have gotten to go on countless National Park excursions with their parents. I’m pretty sure they are the most well-traveled pups I’ve ever met!
Traveling all the way from Nebraska, Scamper and Loki found themselves on a tour of Arizona, New Mexico
