Portraits
I offer several portrait services aimed at our beloved companions. From brand new puppies celebrating their gotcha day to seniors enjoying their golden years and everything in between, you can find information on each standard package below on this page.

The Classic Portrait Session
 
Your dog is more than just a pet. They are your shadow, your confidant, and your best friend. They are one of a kind, and no matter what phase of life they are in right now, they deserve to be celebrated exactly as they are. Whether your dog is a fast-moving athlete that spends their weekends collecting ribbons, or a beautiful, gentle soul with a silver muzzle who prefers spending their days catching sunbeams, this session is all about capturing the spirit of who they truly are and immortalizing it forever.
These sessions are great for most dogs at any stage of their life. Don't worry if your dog doesn't have perfect obedience - the "sit and stay" is a bonus, not a requirement. We'll keep things relaxed and fun and work with whatever your dog is willing to give us. We'll meet at the outdoor spot of your choice - whether that is the beach, the park, their favorite trail - and get some great shots you'll be proud to display.

Grow With Me Package
 
They grow up so fast! One day they're a clumsy bundle of oversized paws and puppy breath, and the next, they are looking up at you with the eyes of a fully grown dog. Watching that change feels like a "blink and you miss it" whirlwind, so let's make sure you don't miss a thing.
This three-session milestone package is designed to document your puppy's first year, perfectly preserving each awkward, hilarious, and beautiful phase of their development.
- Session 1: Gotcha Day (8-12 weeks): Welcome home! This session is all about capturing the magic of puppyhood, and their wide-eyed wonder as they explore their new world. This photoshoot is entirely puppy-paced so we'll play, we'll nap, and we'll ultimately capture some incredible images so you'll never forget how soft their puppy fuzz was, or how perfectly they still fit in your arms.
- Session 2: The Half-Birthday (~6months): Your puppy is growing fast, gaining confidence, and probably going through a hilariously awkward growth spurt! Whether their legs are suddenly too long for their body or their ears can't decide which way to stand, it's a phase worth remembering. We'll capture that goofy, gangly teenage charm before they grow out of it.
- Session 3: First Birthday (~1 year): Happy birthday! Your dog is officially an adolescent now, stepping into their adult features and letting their true personality start to shine. We'll celebrate how far they've come with gorgeous anniversary portraits that any puppy school grad would be proud to have in their senior yearbook - and yes, we'll bring a special dog-safe birthday treat to celebrate the occasion.
- The Heirloom Gift: At the end of our year together, you won't just have digital files sitting on a hard drive. Once your final digital gallery is delivered, I will design a beautiful 10x10 photo book telling the complete story of your puppy's first year. It will be printed by a professional lab and shipped directly to your door - a tangible memory for you to enjoy forever.
 
 
- Three 60-minute photo sessions
- 10 high-res digital images per session
- Private online proofing gallery to select your favorites
- Option to purchase additional images and prints
- Exclusive end-of-year custom 10x10 photo book
When booked a la carte, these milestone sessions and the final heirloom gift total $1,650.
All portrait and kennel sessions include up to 35 miles of round-trip travel from Toms River, NJ. Located a little further out? No problem! I am always happy to travel beyond my standard radius for a custom mileage fee.
