✨Celebration of Life - Sasha✨

I don’t think I’ve met a dog like Sasha before. The love she had for her mom, her family, and just being near her people was so profound. Her mom loved her fiercely, and Sasha loved her right back. She came into her mom’s life at exactly the right time and leaves her with memories that will last forever. After dealing with my own grief, it felt right making sure that Sasha had the proper photo session for her send off. She will be missed by her family, but especially her mama, Ashley. I feel so privileged to have met this beautiful dog🤍

A little reintroduction (because it’s been a while). 🐾

Hi friends! If we haven’t met, I’m Afton, and I’m the face behind the camera capturing the personalities, quirks, and love that make our pets family.

I know I’ve been quiet here for a while. Last October, I said goodbye to my soul dog, and navigating that loss took more out of me than I expected. I needed time away to grieve, heal, and simply be present.

But one thing that experience reminded me of is just how precious our time with our animals truly is. The photos we take today become treasures tomorrow.

So while I may have been quiet, my love for pet photography has never gone anywhere — and I’m excited to be back, reconnecting, and creating meaningful images for fellow pet lovers.

✨ Yes, I’m still booking sessions!
✨ Dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and all beloved companions are welcome.
✨ If you’ve been thinking about documenting your best friend, I’d love to help tell their story.

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and for being here. I can’t wait to share more with you again. ❤️

📩 Send me a message to book or learn more.

While shopping at Lowe’s today, I stopped to admire a young woman’s French Bulldog and mentioned that I’m a pet photographer. She quickly replied, “Oh no—she’d never be good enough or sit still for photos.”

It made me realize how many people feel this way. The truth is, most pets I work with are energetic, distracted, or just having an off day—and that’s completely okay. Creating beautiful images in those moments is part of the craft. It’s not about a “perfect” pet, it’s about capturing their personality as they are.

If you’ve ever doubted whether your pet could have amazing photos taken, I’d love the opportunity to show you what’s possible.
