We support a wide variety of charities with the donation of pet photography sessions to silent auctions.

This is one of my premier fundraisers held each year. The calendar contest benefits The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast.
It kicks off each year with Mutt March. Calendars are then available for purchase in October.
Specialty Sessions

Tails of the Treasure Coast
2026 Book Project
Where Every Gray Hair Tells A Story
Senior pets carry stories in their eyes, their slower steps, and the gray hairs that mark a life lived with loyalty and love. This project was created to honor them.
Tails of the Treasure Coast: Where Every Gray Hair Tells a Story is a coffee table book project celebrating senior pets—those who have spent years with their families and those who found love later in life. It’s not about how long you’ve been together. It’s about the connection you share.
Each participating pet will be featured with a professional portrait and a written Love Letter from their person. These letters are simple, heartfelt reflections, memories, promises, or quiet moments captured in words. Together, they create a collection that is honest, tender, and deeply meaningful.
This project is also about giving back. Proceeds benefit Cobie's Cottage, supporting senior dogs who deserve comfort, care, and a soft place to land.
By participating, you are:
-
Preserving your dog’s story in a lasting, tangible way
-
Creating meaningful artwork that honors this chapter of their life
-
Helping senior dogs in need through rescue and advocacy
-
Becoming part of a community that believes love has no age limit
This isn’t just a photo session.
It’s a tribute.
A thank you.
A love letter—written one gray hair at a time.
The Details:
-
These sessions are for Senior Pets - can be dog, cat, bird, rabbit, guinea pig, or other small pet.
-
There are only 35 sessions available
-
The $97 participation fee includes a full signature studio pet portrait session ($100 savings) for one pet, a two-page spread featuring images from your session, and a short love letter in the finished coffee table book.
-
Sessions will be held from March - August 2026 in my Hobe Sound Studio or you can upgrade to have your session at select outdoor locations.
100% of the proceeds from the book sales and the donate-to-vote cover contest will be donated to Cobie's Cottage.
Our goal for this project is to raise $10,000!
The session fee includes your pet’s participation in the project and their place in the book.
The book, artwork, or digital files are not included with the participation fee but are available for purchase.
Our goal is to have the book available for purchase in Nov 2026.
There is no obligation to buy, though many families choose to invest in artwork once they see their images. These images become more than photographs; they become reminders of a chapter in your pet's life you never want to forget.
Artwork options begin at $350, with most clients spending between $1,500 and $3,000 on custom pieces created to honor and preserve this special stage of life.
