I’ll be setting up my Pop-Up Pup Studio for a very special afternoon in Pittsburgh, and this one means a little extra to me!

Join us Saturday, September 12th from 12 PM–3 PM at Allegheny City Brewing, 510 East Ohio St, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 for an afternoon filled with amazing vendors, raffle baskets, a 50/50 raffle, and, of course, adorable pup portraits!

POP-UP PUP STUDIO PORTRAITS
$50 per dog
3 web-sized digital images
$25 from every session will be donated to Canine Cancer Research in loving memory of Jake the Lab.

Canine cancer is something that has touched my life in a way I wish it never had. Hemangiosarcoma took my soul dog, Bella, at just 8 years old. Losing her so unexpectedly is something I will carry with me forever. So when I have the opportunity to use something I love to help support research that could potentially save another family from experiencing that kind of loss, it truly is a privilege.

This event is about more than cute pictures. It’s about remembering the dogs we’ve lost, celebrating the ones we still have, and supporting the research that may give future dogs more time with the people who love them!

Come out, bring your pup, grab some photos, shop with some incredible local vendors, enter the raffles, and help us raise money for canine cancer research and hemangiosarcoma research in Jake’s memory.

I can’t wait to see you and your pups there!

In honor of Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, I wanted to share this sweet photo I snagged of two of our dogs on the couch together who are both no longer with us. Our wild man, Geno, on the left who taught me so much about behavioral dogs. He was the catalyst for my interest in learning about and understanding dogs that have fear-based behaviors and aggression. Geno was of course all bark and no bite. And of course…my soul dog…my beautiful Bella on the right. The dog who taught me patience, that training isn’t linear, and to never give up. I miss them both so much. I’d love to see the pets running with them on the other side! Share photos of your pets who have passed and a favorite memory of them in the comments!

It’s never easy to see the notification that a dog I had the privilege of photographing has crossed the rainbow bridge. Even when it was an end-of-life session and I knew what that meant, there’s still a heaviness that comes with knowing that a beautiful soul I met has left this world.

Ola was every bit as graceful and lovely as she looks in these photographs. She was gentle, carefree, and so incredibly sweet. But what stood out to me most was the beautiful bond she shared with her mom, Megan.

Watching Ola sit so peacefully beside her during our session said everything. The way she looked at her. The way her eyes lit up with every pet and kiss. There was so much trust, comfort, and love between them. It made my heart incredibly happy to witness because I know what it means to share that kind of once-in-a-lifetime bond with a dog who is truly your heart and soul.

Ola was a mother and grandmother to so many sweet pups, many of whom are still here in the Burgh. Her legacy lives on through them, and through the countless memories Megan will carry with her forever.

Rest peacefully, beautiful girl. You were truly one in a billion.🤍

You guys may remember when I photographed Biggie and STILL he’s waiting for someone to love him. I just don’t get it. He’s truly the ideal dog! 🤍

“How time flies, Duncan is 5!” I love when pet parents have creative ideas for their pups birthdays and we could make them come to life! With permission, we were able to take Duncan to pose with real planes at the Air Heritage Aviation Museum in Chippewa, PA!

Between the collection of amazing planes and Duncan’s very on brand accessories, this was such a fun shoot! If you know Duncan’s mom, you know she is the queen of accessorizing her furbabies!

If you happened to catch KDKA last night, this beautiful girl may look familiar! Maybelle helped me share the importance of end-of-life pet photography sessions and why these memories matter so much.

I’m incredibly grateful to Kristine and KDKA for sharing this story and helping spread awareness about pet photography and end-of-life sessions. I’m also so thankful to Maybelle, her dad Chris, and her mom Joy for trusting me to capture such an important chapter in their lives.

Admittedly, I was a little nervous being in front of the camera for once, but sweet Maybelle completely stole the show. She was an absolute natural!

And the best part? We absolutely did not plan this, but the day of Maybelle’s session was actually her gotcha day! What a beautiful way to celebrate the day she became part of her family.

I know these photos will be cherished by Chris and Joy forever. And I’m so incredibly grateful that I get to do something I truly love while creating memories that mean so much to people and their pets.

Thank you, Maybelle, for being the star of the show. You were perfect, my girl!

Sweet Bacchus crossed the rainbow bridge shortly after his session with his mom, dad and little brother, Kratos.

Bach was the most laid back boy who was just happy to be there for the ride. He loved snuggles with his mom and wrestling with his brother. They had a little match at our session and I couldn’t help but laugh. They looked like two little piggies rolling around in the grass! I was even fortunate enough to be gifted a smooch from Bach who I’m told doesn’t give those out often!

What I couldn’t help but notice was the warmth between him and his momma. He was her soul dog and the way they looked at each other spoke more than any words could. My heart shattered when she messaged me with the news shortly after we were together. It was like he waited so that she could have these memories before he left this world.

I hope, in time, these photographs bring more smiles than tears and remind you of the goofy, loving, gentle boy who made life a little sweeter simply by being in it. Bach may have only been with us for a short time after our session, but he left behind a lifetime of love, memories, and the sweetest little piggy wrestling matches to cherish forever. Run free, sweet Bach. You were so very loved.

Some events hit a little closer to home, and this is one of them.

I’m honored to be attending a fundraiser for canine cancer research on September 12, 2026, where I’ll be setting up a pop-up studio booth for the day.

For $50, you’ll receive 3 beautiful digital portraits of your dog, and 50% of every session will be donated directly to canine cancer research.

This cause means more to me than I can put into words. Five years ago, we unexpectedly lost our soul dog just one week after her 8th birthday to hemangiosarcoma. It’s a silent, aggressive, and absolutely heartbreaking cancer that steals dogs from their families far too quickly.

Coincidentally, one of my longtime followers also lost her beloved Lab, Jake, to the very same disease. After his passing, she turned her grief into something incredibly meaningful by organizing this event in hopes that future families won’t have to experience the same devastating loss.

I’d love to see some familiar faces there, capture some beautiful portraits of your pups, and support a cause that means so much to so many of us. I hope you’ll join us on September 12!
