I love fall colors as much as anyone, but bright red and orange leaves don’t go with everyone's home decor. Painted Light Sessions let you choose a color that does.

Your dog’s backdrop can be any of 20 colors, painted with light from my flash and created in camera, without Photoshop or AI. Pick a shade that suits your living room, your office, or the spot by the stairs that’s been waiting for the right print to come along. At your ordering appointment, I can show you your portrait on your own wall before you decide.

• Wednesday, November 4, 4:00 to 6:00 PM
• The Market on Evans, Tecumseh

What color would you choose for your home? Tell me in the comments, or comment PAINTED for the details.

This portrait was juried into the 2026 Chelsea Art Alley, and it’s the one I get the most comments on, by far. So I decided it was time to let your dog have a turn!

Painted Light Sessions are short sessions in front of a metal backdrop that I paint with color using my flash, with 20 colors to choose from, all created in camera.

• Wednesday, November 4, 2026 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
• The Market on Evans, Tecumseh

Six sessions are available. Comment PAINTED and I’ll send you the details!

Ginger won the back cover of A Life Well Loved, and her family could not be more proud.

A Rhodesian Ridgeback/Retriever mix from Saline with a Mohawk and a personality her trainer once described as a goofy box of chocolates, Ginger earned her place the old fashioned way. Her people campaigned early, campaigned hard, and cheered every step of the way. 🎉

Congratulations to Dennis, Pamela, and their girl Ginger. Thank you for helping us raise so much for Dirty Paws Agape Haven! 💜

She ran away with it! LuLu rallied her troops, took an early lead and never looked back.

She received 1,135 votes to claim the cover of A Life Well Loved, and together this community raised $4,875 for the dogs at Dirty Paws Agape Haven.

LuLu came into Faythe’s life as the winning prize in a hospice fundraiser, completely unplanned but absolutely perfect. It seems fitting that she won another contest by a landslide.

Thank you to everyone who voted, bought a book, and showed up for these dogs. The book is coming together, and it is going to be something really special. 💜

A quick reminder that A Life Well Loved is available for pre-order right now, and this is a one-print run: meaning it’s the only opportunity for you to purchase a copy of this book.

These make beautiful gifts for the dog lover in your life, with the added benefit of the profits from every copy sold going directly to Dirty Paws Agape Haven.

$50 per copy, with shipping or an in-person book signing event hosted graciously by Tecumseh District Library in December. Comment “cover” and I’ll message you the link to purchase. 💜

Next Saturday, I’m bringing the mini-Wienermobile to Detroit Dachshund Club's Halloweenie Event at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea Canton, and your dog is invited to take the wheel! 🌭

Portraits are $35, no appointment needed, from 12 noon to 2 PM. Come out, have some great coffee, and spend a few hours surrounded by dachshunds in costume - never a bad idea!

This is Tom, and that is Uno on the dashboard, riding through the property like he owns the place.

Tom founded Dirty Paws Agape Haven in 2020 on 19 acres in Ottawa Lake, MI. He networks with shelters across Michigan and Ohio to give senior dogs a permanent home for the rest of their lives. Dirty Paws is not a shelter and they do not adopt out. Their residents are Home.

Spending time on that property with Tom and these dogs was one of the most meaningful parts of this project. There is a story in this book about something he said to me that I think about often. You will have to purchase a copy and read it to find out what it was!

He is doing the work that so many of us wish we could. Please join me in supporting him! Comment the word cover and I’ll message you the link. 💜

October’s Feature: Hanson

Hanson has a job: he's a tester dog at K9 Elite, which means when nervous new dogs arrive at daycare, Hanson is the one who makes it okay.

He was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at just 9 months old, had a total hip replacement, spent five months in recovery and physical therapy, and came out the other side dock diving and competing in FASTCAT. He is four years old and living his best life.

Some dogs just decide they're here to be good. Hanson decided.

He's featured in the 2026 Toledo Humane Society calendar: part of a project I'm honored to contribute to every year.

Teddy was on WTOL 11's Good Day Live this morning talking about A Life Well Loved, Dirty Paws Agape Haven , and some of the dogs you will find inside these pages. (I tagged along because he doesn’t have his license yet.)

If you missed it live, here is a snippet. I must have made an impression on Toledo because in the hours after the segment, we raised over $400.

I uploaded the full interview to on my blog, called the Lenawee Pet Collective, which you can find on my website.

The contest is open through October 11. Every vote counts! 💜
