Pet Session with Phoebe the Rescue at the 606 Trail in Bucktown, Chicago

Last year I donated a pet session to One Tail at a Time rescue for their annual Houndstooth Ball benefit. Phoebe’s mom (aka human) won my photo session and I was so pleased to meet the both of them. We met up at the little park by Ipsento right off of the 606 trail on Milwaukee Avenue and I got to photograph Phoebe running around in her element. I feel so fortunate to be able to give back to rescue organizations that work so hard to give animals like Phoebe a great life. Bring me alllllllll the dogs for these lifestyle playful sessions! I love documenting their personalities, quirks and all the things that make you love them so much. I often wonder if I was a dog in a past life because I have some deep unexplainable connection with them - I love dogs way more than a lot of humans ;) So glad to have met you A & Phoebe!

Diogi - Chicago's Cutest 4-Legged Cub Fan! Southport Chicago Pup Session - Wrigley Dog

Wow, I’ve been a little behind on the blog this summer - oops! I moved at the beginning of July and it took up weeks of my time, pre-and-post-move, but I’m back with a cute session to show you. I met Diogi at Hotel Zachary’s Yappy Hour event earlier this spring and her pawrents booked a session to document her sweetness. She is a lovable almost-3 little teacup goldendoodle who very much took to the camera. We photographed Diogi in her home where she loves to lounge atop pillows and play with her tennis ball on the roof. We then strolled around Southport Corridor in Chicago, stopped outside of Candyality for a couple quick photos, stopped by an amazing mural on Southport and ended at Bentley’s Pet Store for a special treat. She sure is a fun little pooch and I loved following her around for her photo session!
