HONORING YOUR BOND WITH YOUR PET AND BRINGING JOY TO YOUR HEART FOREVER
Is time to meet Kaida Dragon!!
Though she only has one eye she managed perfectly at the Studio!
She has absolutely perfected the “puppy dog” face and she will use it to get whatever she wants, whether that is extra snuggles or a treat, don't you agree?!
Head over to Good Karma Pet Rescue of South Florida to meet her and fall in love!
I believe Education is an investment in yourself, and to be honest, an investment in serving my clients better as well! 2018 arrived and with that, my very first pet photographer retreat!!
The trainers? Two amazing women; Nicole Begley, from Hair of the Dog, and Terran Bayer, from Westway Studio.
I was so nervous to meet 11 pet photographers from all over the States, as well as Canada, but as soon as I arrived at the Tiki House (we had an amazing beach house all for ourselves!!), I was at home. I have never felt so "understood", haha!! Connecting people who share the same passion was really a brilliant idea!
I got to spend a couple of days there, learning from business strategies to lighting, photoshop, marketing, social media, and we even got a surprise visit from the remarkable Skip Cohen, from Skip Cohen University with his beautiful pup, Molly.
Oh, wait! Did I mention that we got some models to photograph as well?!
The locations picked for the photoshoots were amazing and we all had a blast photographing these fantastic dogs. Here are some behind the scenes of us working really hard for a sunset and action shots!
Now is the turn for the amazing models we had (not that my fellow photographers weren't good models, hehe)
Meet Mr. Furley!! He had the best labradoodle's smile ever and the goofiest personality!
This is Nacho! He and his human mom came to participate as well! Creating silhouettes was the best part of the day for me!
Meet Ms. Belle! This sweet boxer was a blast to photograph and so pretty!
Oh,Brody Boy!!! I cannot tell you how much I loved this dog and his facial expressions!!
Next up is Boo!! What a sweet and well behaved dog! He did all the poses we requested like a Pro-Model!!
Now meet Vinnie!! He and his human mom flown all the way from Pennsylvaina to model for us! He is a service dog, with an amazing soul.
Kiah is an Australian Cattle Dogshowed and she knows us many tricks!
And last but not least, meet Molly! A very famous dog model!! I was told that Molly is one of the most photographed dogs in the world! Isn't that amazing?!
As you can see, we had a great time learning and doing what we LOVE most. Was an amazing and unforgetable experience for me. So grateful to have met all these people!! Until next time and thank you!!!
Starting January 1st, visit the "Winter in Florida Exhibition" of rescue animals at the West Regional Broward Library, located at 8601 W. Broward Blvd, Plantation Fl, 33324.
This amazing photography exhibit features adoptable animals from local rescue organizations with adorable photos that I took during the month of December. This display will be up all month and adopters will get to keep the professional photograph of their new friend!
Exhibit runs through January 31. Don't miss it!!
PS: If you want to ADOPT any of these pets, please reach out to the rescue! Find the info below:
A month ago I had the honor of photographing these brave firefighters, along with some adoptable dogs that were found abandoned in the Redlands' area. It is a sad and downright heartbreaking situation that's taking place in one of the southernmost parts of our Florida State and is affecting us all. With Isabel Zapata, who was in charge of making this amazing project possible, we are trying to bring awareness to this situation.
I know we are a "bit" late on the calendar sales, but the year is just starting and you have the whole year to contemplate this wonderful calendar and these beautiful doggies (and smiling firefighters!!)
All the proceedings from this calendar's sales will help these rescues continue doing this unbelievable labor of love!

And remember, all these AMAZING DOGS featured here are looking for their forever home! To ADOPT any of these dogs, or to help in any way, please contact the rescues at:
In honor of November's 'Adopt-A-Senior-Pet Month,' I have put senior humans and fur babies together for these sessions. I have done so in the hopes of promoting these amazing seniors dogs and in the hopes that, through these images, we can create a continued awareness to treasure our seniors, both human, as well as dogs.I also hope that this serves to remind us that they deserve our kindness, our respect and, most importantly, our LOVE!
So this is the story behind my 'Seniors for Seniors' photo project, my WHY in case you were wondering! These senior humans and senior dogs had never met before today, but their paths crossed, specifically for this photo-session.
They are not even the same species, but they have walked a long journey along the path of life. They have given a lifetime of LOVE, and they know that life is so much better when you don't have to face it all alone.
I've lost my senior bulldog just 2 months ago, and I am blessed to have my senior Mom with me every day! Gracias Mamita por todo lo que me das! Te amo hasta el infinito!!!!!
Thank you to the 'Human Seniors' models who participated! I hope you enjoyed the session. It was a real honor for me to photograph you!
