🐾 Happy (belated) National Rescue Dog Day and welcome home, Ava!

Yesterday was National Rescue Dog Day, and we couldn’t have celebrated it better.

This past weekend we adopted Ava, a sweet girl who came to us from a rescue in Georgia thru Mississippi.

For years, she lived in a puppy mill, spending her days in a wire crate, bringing litter after litter into the world, her little paws so splayed from standing on wire her whole life.

And yet. She looks up at you like you hung the moon. Pure love. No resentment. No hesitation. Just joy.

She’s joining Max and Maisie, and she’s already learning the ropes (housebreaking is on the agenda šŸ˜„).

She wants nothing more than to be loved, and to give every bit of it back.

If you ever wonder whether rescue dogs ā€œknowā€ they’ve been saved, they do. Ava knows. And, I also think she saved me. ā™„ļø

If you’re thinking about adding a pet to your family, please consider adopting.

There are so many Avas out there waiting for their moment.

Family sessions matter to me for a very specific reason.

They’re not about perfect smiles.

They’re about preserving connection in the season you’re living right now.

The way someone leans in.
The quiet, unspoken language between people who love each other.

Those are the moments that pass the fastest.
And they’re the ones we think we’ll always remember.

Years from now, the photograph won’t just show what everyone looked like.

It will bring you back to what it felt like to be together.

That’s the part that matters.
And it’s never something I take lightly.

, I loved photographing your family!

I've been studying animal communication for the past year … and I’m finally ready to share it.

These past few weeks changed me personally and professionally. I was in an intensive with Joan Ranquet, renowned animal communicator, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker and I haven't stopped thinking about it.

And to be clear, I’m still very much a photographer. Always will be.
That’s not changing. It’s expanding.

I still lead from my heart and lean into the energy in the room when someone is in my studio. I've always been able to read the unspoken. That changes everything about what shows up in a photograph. But now I know the why. I know how to support it. My work has never started with the camera. It always started with connection. What this experience gave me is a deeper way to recognize that connection. To trust it. To stay with it.

Here's what that means in practice.

With families, that shows up in how I read a room. Knowing when to guide and when to go quiet. Sensing what's moving underneath what's being said.

With animals, it changes everything. Trust isn't something you can manufacture. It's something they feel. And the moment they feel it, you see it right there in the photograph.

Now I'm beginning the next phase.

I'll be completing 195 case studies across animal communication, emotional freedom technique, and scalar wave.

If any of this speaks to you, and you’re curious what a photography session feels like or whether a case study might be right for you, reach out. I’d love to talk.
(Case studies are offered at no cost, and can be done via Zoom.)

Please share with colleagues, friends & family. Thank you!

There’s a moment I watch for in every dog session.
It’s not when they first arrive.
That part is usually a lot of energy.

New smells.
New space.
Everything to take in.

And then, it happens.
They stop scanning the room.
They come closer.
They sit… or lean… or just stay.
Not because anyone told them to.
Because they’ve decided it’s safe.

That’s the moment I’m waiting for.

Their expression changes.
Their eyes soften.
You start to see them, not just a dog in front of a camera.

That’s when I take the photograph.

People sometimes think it’s about getting the dog to behave.
It’s not.
It’s about giving them the space to settle into themselves.

And when that happens, you don’t have to force anything.
You just have to be ready.

Curious? Let's chat.

Animals have a way of telling the truth in a room.

They don’t respond to instructions.

They respond to presence.

If the energy is rushed, they feel it.

If the space is calm, they feel that too.

It’s one of the reasons I love photographing them.

They remind us to slow down.

To pay attention.

To meet the moment instead of pushing past it.

When that happens, they settle in.

And the photograph takes care of itself.

Curious? Let's chat.

I’m stepping away for a couple of weeks to deepen a part of my work that most people don’t immediately see.

The part that happens before the camera comes out.

How someone settles in.
How trust builds.
How the moment becomes real instead of performed.

It’s something that’s always been at the center of what I do and I’m looking forward to giving it more attention.

Because the photograph is never the starting point.

It’s what comes after.

I started in photography with street photography.

Black and white.
Unscripted.
Catching people and pups exactly as they were.

No posing.
No planning.
Just noticing.

When I became a professional photographer my work became more structured.

Studio lighting.
Intentional sessions.
Guided experiences.

Work I love. Work I’m proud of.

But recently, something shifted.
Bill gave me a camera I can carry with me every day.

Not for work.
Not for sessions.
Just to have.

Because my ā€œrealā€ cameras don’t leave the studio unless I’m on a shoot. They’re my babies.

This one is different.
It comes with me.
Out into the world.

Into real, unplanned moments.

And it’s bringing me back to where I started.

Watching more closely.
Noticing people and pups.

Capturing something real without needing it to be anything more.

There’s a kind of freedom in that.
I’ve missed it.

And the more I come back to this way of seeing, the more I’m reminded of what I’m actually looking for in the studio. ā¤ļø

The door has opened!

I’m really excited to share this with you.

Here’s a small sneak peek of the new studio.

This space will soon hold so many stories.
People stepping into their power.
Leaders stepping into new roles.
Women claiming their strength.
Founders building what comes next.
Families marking a moment in time.

And a few dogs who will be very certain the studio was created just for them. 🐾 ā¤ļø

Every time I unlock the door I feel that spark that comes with a new beginning.

New conversations.
Portraits.
Stories waiting to unfold.

So excited to share this with you!
