Did you know I offer a special discount for Bully Breed owners of 50%?

Why?

These breeds don’t have it easy, the media likes to hype them up as killing machines, beasts, monsters, anytime there is an attack reportedly involving any of these breeds.

Historically these breeds were used (and sadly still are) used for dog fighting. Some people also use them more as a status symbol.

So you can see why they get a bad reputation, right? Especially when in reality though these are some of the loveliest dogs out there. It’s definitely among my favorite breeds.

So if you own one of these below and you’re interested in a session to make memories with them, use the link at the bottom or reach out for a chat and ask me any questions you have.

Breeds include:

American Pitbull Terrier
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
American Staffordshire Terrier
American Bully

What a year it’s been and what a pace! I moved across an ocean, got married, photographed my first dock diving event, my first barn hunt and so much more!

What stands out to me are the people I met and the stories I listened to. I love this community especially the world of dog sports where I have met so many wonderful people, some of which I now get to see regularly and get to document their dogs’ progress and growth.

I don’t get caught up in having to post the same trending template and story lines that you see every day, I post what I want, when I want. Because being human is more important that going viral. Telling a story is more meaningful than showcasing how many followers one has. That’s what I’ll continue to do in 2026 because telling stories is what I live for and it’s all thanks to all of you who trust me to play a small part in this 💜

Ball is life and that was definitely true for Kolton. Despite his diagnosis he really lit up and sprung into action for a few photos which was so wholesome to see.

Meet Kolton 💜

At the time of photographing Kolton was a 6 year old German Shepherd and part of a pack.

“Kolton was my first German Shepherd; a wild, brilliant, loyal soul who came into my life when I was just 18 years old. He was my first “big” responsibility, my first true partner, and the dog who taught me more about love, patience, and dedication than I ever imagined.

When Kolton was young, a dog attack changed the course of his life and ours. We spent years learning, rebuilding trust, and figuring out how to move through the world together. After working with multiple trainers, we finally found the right fit and everything began to click. With that support, Kolton earned his CGC title, something I will forever be proud of. It was more than a title; it represented how far he came and the bond we built as a team.

Through every challenge, one thing about Kolton never changed: his love for playing ball and his desire to make me proud. Even on his hardest days, he would always play fetch. He lived for adventure and freedom - running, exploring, and spending every summer splashing in the river, completely alive and joyful. His loyalty was unmatched, his intelligence remarkable, and his eagerness to please unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

In late November, I brought Kolton to the vet thinking, at worst, he might have eaten something he shouldn’t have. Instead, our world shattered. Scans revealed cancer throughout his body, already spread to his lungs -hemangiosarcoma. Aggressive, ruthless, and unfair. Hearing those words attached to my young, otherwise healthy, goofy Shepherd felt impossible. He didn’t deserve this.

Kolton lived a life full of purpose; learning, growing, loving and he continues to teach me what it means to show up fully and unconditionally.

As much as it shattered me to let him go, I know with every part of my heart that it was the best thing I could do for him. I refused to let him remain in a state where he could no longer live at his fullest potential. Ending his suffering was the final act of love I could give.

Kolton was an amazing dog who lived a beautiful life that was cut far too short. He was the most intelligent, loyal, and life-loving dog I’ve ever owned, and I will carry him with me for the rest of my lifetime. 🤍
