All Paws Retreat is a Daycare and Boarding facility in Franklinton, Ohio. I started working with them last year doing Back to School Portraits of their pups. The photos were a hit.
Casie, the owner, has allowed me to spread my creative wings with her pups and after a few more sessions, we decided in January to sit down and plan our calendar of the year of sessions. We painstakingly planned out every date and theme.
Little did we know what the next couple of months would hold.
Two days prior to the Stay at Home order, Casie and her fiancé and I even had gone out and done their engagement photos.
So here we 2 months later and working with face masks, and gloves, and hand sanitizer everywhere. Our hands are dry and flaking from soap and alcohol, but we are back to work on a limited capacity.
I stepped into the daycare full of anxiety but loaded with pink backdrop and flowers galore.
We wanted to do SOMETHING special to honor the Moms in the lives of the dogs, and what better than pretty pink flowery and bow tie laden doggie?
I adored this session so much. It turned out dainty, and sweet and beautiful.

In late April we scheduled engagement photos thinking the weather would be warm enough to be “comfortable” without jackets for short bursts of time and the spring flowers would be in full bloom and trees would be lush with fresh buds. Ohio, as usual, had its own agenda. It was cold, oh so cold. We made best of it and took some fun photos with their dog Chessie.
We decided though that would meet again when it was warmer and take some more photos and met up in early may for a session at Scioto Mile.
The weather again tried to scare us away but the evening erupted into a fantastic sunset. Shades of purples and oranges helped create some of my favorite images ever!
