Lily turns three – Celebrate your dog’s birthday with style

I can't believe my silly Lily is three years old! Well, actually I can. It seems so long ago that I found her sleeping on that bench in downtown Raleigh at three months old.  She may be black and white, but she has brought so much color to our lives.  From two...

Lily the pit bull turns TWO years old – Dog cake smash photo shoot

Sweet little Lily-kins is now TWO!  I just can't believe it!  Her birthday shoot was a quick stop downtown this year, but still cute and perfect nonetheless.  This will most likely be Lily's last birthday with us.  Stay tuned for a blogpost with more details.  I'm...

Baxter’s thoughts on Pit Bull Awareness month

Phew...mom finally stopped editing photos for a second so I could blog! So I've been hearing a lot about something called "Pit bull awareness month." I finally figured it out I think! Some people call Lily a pit bull...but to me she looks just like any other dog so...

Diary of a foster failure: Lily Lately – Raleigh pet photographer

Adopting Lily: Now and then (Raleigh pet photography)

We suspect/guess Lily was about three months old when I found her on a bench at the end of June. I snapped a few shots immediately when I brought her home. I wanted to recreate those shots to see exactly how much she has grown in the past few weeks. The left photos...

Adopting Lily: How we decided she was the “one”

I spotted Lily about 50 feet away sleeping on a bench. I would have seen her a mile away. I love pit bulls and always wanted to adopt one.  I never was keen on adopting a puppy, but knew Baxter (my four year old blond beagle mix) would  probably adapt best to a...
