There’s something magical about a milestone.

Sometimes it’s obvious—like a wagging tail on a puppy’s first birthday. Other times it’s quieter, like the soft click of a camera shutter capturing a dog’s first day with their forever family. And sometimes? It’s a personal milestone that changes everything… like retiring from one career to pour your heart into another.

(Hi, it’s me. That last one’s mine. 💛)

As a pet photographer, I’m lucky enough to witness and preserve moments that matter—the kind of moments you want to frame, flip through, and hold onto forever.


🐾 Pet Milestones Worth Celebrating

Whether you're bringing home a new rescue pup, watching your once-wobbly puppy grow into a confident adult, or celebrating your senior dog’s golden years, these moments deserve to be seen and remembered:

Gotcha Day – The day your dog chose you (or vice versa).

First Adventure – Beach day? Mountain hike? Paw-dorable chaos? Yes, please.

Birthday Celebrations – Party hats optional. Joy required.

Training Graduation – Sit. Stay. Smile for the camera.

Growing Up – A series of sessions that show just how far those paws have come.

These are the threads of a life well-lived—and I love turning them into custom “heARTwork” that honors your bond in the most beautiful way.


✨ And Then There Are Our Milestones

Recently, I celebrated a milestone of my own: I officially retired from my legal career (gavel drop!) and took my photography business full time.

It was both thrilling and terrifying—kind of like letting a puppy off-leash in a park for the first time. But it’s also been the most rewarding leap of faith I’ve ever taken.

Now, I spend my days meeting incredible pet parents, capturing meaningful memories, and creating tangible artwork that brings your story to life. This isn't just my job—it’s my joy.


💬 What Milestone Are You Celebrating?

If your dog (or your life) has hit a new chapter lately, let’s mark the moment together. Because years from now, when their muzzle’s a little grayer or your couch is a little furrier, you’ll be so glad you did.
