There’s something extra special about getting to photograph a dog’s first year—especially when that dog is more like family. Anya just turned one, and capturing this milestone felt like celebrating a year full of joy, growth, and a whole lot of play.

From the very beginning, Anya has been part of our world. She and Mabel have been best friends since they were just 12 weeks old, and watching their bond has been nothing short of amazing. Their playdates have always been full of energy, chaos, and pure happiness.

Anya’s personality shines in every frame throughout the year. She’s energetic, fun, and endlessly playful! But beyond her playful side, she’s also incredibly well-trained. At just one year old, Anya has already passed her Canine Good Citizen test—a huge accomplishment and a reflection of the dedication and love her family has poured into her.

During our sessions, we focused on capturing one moment of time. All of those joyful expressions and interactions that show just how much life she brings to everyone around her.

Anya’s first year has been full of milestones, friendship, and love, and I feel so lucky to have been there to document it. Watching her grow from a tiny puppy into the vibrant, confident dog she is today has been such a rewarding experience!

Have you had a portrait session to celebrate your pup/best friend and all the joy they bring your life?!
