A quick look back on a few pup portraits from 2025. I'm always grateful to be chosen to capture your sweet babies. Thank you!! It's one of my favorite things about what I do. ♥️🐾

Hi 👋🏻 I designed a few different halloween gift tag sets available for digital file download. I wanted to offer something that was an easy download and print file, especially for folks outside of the US (since international shipping has become so costly).
👻🎃🐾 I hope you have as much fun as I do, adding these to your gifts all October.
🛍 Available now in my Etsy shop.

🙌🏻 The first day of spooky season is officially here! I'm not sure where September went, but I'm happy October has arrived! 🎃 Seeing your pups dressed as ghosts and in other spooky costumes is always my favorite time of year. 👻🐾

🍁 This time of year, with each passing day, it means less daylight here in New Hampshire. It makes me think of all the animals about to go into hibernation. 🐾 Of course, that doesn't apply to our cattle dogs (haha) but it's still nice to appreciate when they're curled up napping and look so peaceful, even if it lasts only for a moment. 😴

In New England, this time of year is the start of what we call "false fall" 😂 but I dont care... to me, as soon as I saw a yellowed leaf fall in front of me on my walk this morning, the season is here. 🍂

Dreaming of fall days when we'd hike among the golden glow of Colorado aspens. 🐾

Dogs might have it easier when it comes to making new friends. 🍑🐾🤭

Loving them means loving their quirks, too. Bob used to freak out over cats and squirrels. For Ella, it was a fly in the house or any time I opened the fridge. 😂
