Look at the world’s most handsome dog! Yes. He is mine. Yes. I know I’m biased. But in completely unbiased honesty…he truly is the most handsome dog in the world. This is his 11th doggie birthday party photo session! Baxter turned 11 years old in...
My sweet little nugget of a dog is NINE! Where did the time go?!? We adopted Baxter in 2008 and he literally has changed my life. The short story: I started volunteering at an animal shelter soon after adopting Baxter. That led me to photographing the pets in order...

If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you are familiar with the love of my life. My brown-eyed blonde sidekick, Baxter. He is the entire reason I started my business in 2010. So many of you have loved him and asked about him over the years. My best boy is...
