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… 🐶❤️

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.

We braved the cold for these dreamy winter moments!

So grateful to everyone who showed up, bundled up, and trusted me to capture these memories — it was so worth it.

If you’re still hoping to sneak in Christmas or winter photos before the holidays, send me a message 🤍 I may be able to fit you in!
