Nobody tells you how quickly a puppy becomes a dog.

One day they’re all paws, ears and belly. They tumble into your lap, fall asleep mid-play and look at the world like everything is brand new.

Then somehow, little by little, they grow into themselves.

The puppy breath fades.
The paws fit.
The clumsy little wiggle becomes a confident stride.

That’s why I created the Puppy’s First Year Project, to preserve the stages that disappear before you even realize they’re gone.

We’ll begin while your puppy is still tiny, around 8 to 12 weeks old, then continue their story at 4 months, 8 months and 12 months.

Dogs are never just pets. They become part of our routines, our families, our homes and our hearts. And every season with them matters.

I wish I had photographed my own dogs this way. I didn’t. And now I can’t.

I’m opening 3 founding family spots for this project, and those first families will receive something extra special as a thank-you for helping me bring this to life.

A few people asked me about the timeline for the Puppy's First Year Portrait Project, so here's the full picture.

It's designed to photograph puppies throughout their first year, beginning as early as 8 weeks.

Sessions are typically planned around:

8 to 12 weeks: The tiny puppy stage.
4 months: Growing into those paws.
8 months: Personality, play and teenage puppy energy.
12 months: First birthday, full-grown best friend.

Timing may be customized based on the puppy’s current age, breed and growth stage.

Only 3 founding family spots are open for this first round. If you just brought home a puppy (or have one coming soon), now is the perfect time.

DM me or comment PUPPY and I'll send you all the details.

🐾 New puppy at home?

I’m looking for 3 brand-new puppy families for a special Puppy’s First Year portrait project. We’ll photograph your puppy at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months to capture the tiny paws, floppy ears, funny expressions, growing personality and all the changes that happen way too fast.

I wish that I had done this with my own dogs. That first year flies by, and before you know it, they’re grown, gray around the muzzle and somehow already 12.

This is for families who want to create meaningful artwork of their puppy’s first year, either as a beautiful album or a milestone wall art series.

I’m opening this first round to 3 founding families.

DM me or comment “PUPPY” and I’ll send you the details.

Photos shown are examples of my pet portrait work.

I’m creating a limited black-and-white portrait project called Simply Me, and I’m looking for a small number of children, dogs and horses with unforgettable personalities.

The silly grin. The soulful eyes. The quiet confidence. The expression that makes everyone say, “That is so them.”

These portraits are simple, timeless and designed to become meaningful artwork.

If you have a child, dog or horse who would be perfect for this project, comment SIMPLY ME or send me a message and I’ll share the details.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to every family who entered their dog in this year's competition. Your enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and willingness to support a great cause made this event so much fun and such a success! I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute getting to know you and all of your wonderful, sweet dogs!

Special thanks to our generous sponsors, KerberRose and Bellie's Bandanas for helping make this event possible. Your support means more than you know.

Events like Pooch Playoffs simply wouldn't happen without our participants, sponsors, voters, and the amazing community that rallies behind local rescue organizations. Thank you for helping us celebrate the dogs we love while making a difference for dogs still searching for their forever homes.
