Lucky Pup

There are many blind dogs available for adoption and most people would not even consider this an option.  But Ziggy was a lucky pup, because his family thinks blind dogs are amazing and they continue to help others whose dogs are in the same situation through illness or birth.  Hooray for heroes like this!

Furry Friends

These three pups were all adopted when they were brought to a kill shelter (at different times) because they were old or sick and their owners no longer wanted to deal with them.  Rbari (Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc--a no-kill shelter), where I volunteer, rescued them, and they all found a forever home with a staff member who takes elderly dogs in and gives them an amazing life for whatever time they have left. She has a most generous heart for all creatures large and small...........

Congratulations!

This young couple came to the studio for an engagement portrait as a surprise for their parents.  I think both sets of moms and dads are going to be thrilled at the thoughtfulness of such a gift!

Sisterly Love

These amazing sisters have been coming to the studio every year almost since they were born.  They love each other and we have so much fun and laugh so much during their sessions.  It is such an honor to be part of this caring family and to see these children becoming young women............

Happy Holidays!

These three pups--all cruelly mistreated at one time--were adopted into a loving home throughout the last few years.  The family chose to make a holiday card to send to all their friends and relatives to celebrate the fact that they were all now healthy and happy dogs.  It was such a pleasure for us to create this for them--and I do a great bark to get their attention!  Always remember, if you are thinking of adding a dog to your family, get in touch with me and I will help you adopt a pure breed or a mutt--whatever you are looking for--that is my pledge to you all!

Milestones

This young woman just turned 21 and her parents wanted to commemorate this important milestone in her life.  We were so flattered that we were chosen to create heirloom portraiture for this landmark occasion.
