Hearts for Hounds 2026 ❤️🐾

Last weekend was something special.

We photographed 38 dogs at our Hearts for Hounds event — 38 wagging tails, 38 unique personalities, and 38 very loved pups. 🥹✨

From tiny snuggle bugs to big goofy smiles, every single dog brought their own magic to the lens. These are just a few of the cute faces from the weekend (I truly couldn’t pick favorites).

This event was such a success, and it’s all because of YOU — the incredible pet parents who showed up, supported, donated, and trusted me to capture your babies. 💛

Thank you for making this community so beautiful.
Thank you for supporting rescue.
Thank you for loving your dogs the way you do.

My heart (and camera roll) is so full.

Until next year… 🐶❤️

Meet Luna 🤍
These sweet photos are of Luna, a 2-year-old Lab mix currently in foster care. Here’s what her foster mom had to say about this gentle girl:

“I began fostering Luna at the beginning of December, and she has come such an incredible distance since the day we first met. She came from a background with very little interaction, but she has adapted beautifully to a busy household with cats, other dogs, and children. She’s grown especially close to her foster siblings and truly thrives on companionship.

Luna is affectionate, gentle, and eager to learn. She has a calm, kind nature and loves being a couch companion, but she also looks forward to her daily walks—especially when there are bunnies or squirrels to watch. She greets everyone with a wagging tail and happily accepts all the pets she can get.

She is wonderful with children and is always patient and gentle with them. One of her favorite parts of the day is mealtime—she sits quietly and waits until she hears, ‘Okay, let’s eat.’ Sometimes, when her bowl is empty, she carries it back to her bed as if hoping a little more might appear.

Right now, Luna is also working on gaining some healthy weight but she’s already making great progress with proper care and love.

The Olechow’s 🖤

From bump to baby and everything in between.
The last time I photographed this sweet family, Atlas was still growing in his mama’s belly — and now here he is, the happiest, always-smiling little guy with the brightest eyes. Watching how much he’s grown already is unreal.

And Harper 🐾— the very best big sister & pup!

A perfect winter day, the sun shining, fresh snow under our feet, and so much love in one frame. These are the moments that make my heart so full.

It’s never too early for Valentine’s Day themed shoots!
Especially when they involve the cutest baby Boy!
