The photo pop-up event was a great success! I photographed 29 dogs. A big THANK YOU to Cookies n’ Clean, Carefree, for hosting the event! 

Cookies n’ Clean is a grooming company with a friendly staff dedicated to taking care of your pet’s grooming needs. There are also self-service areas where you can wash your dog if you prefer. 

Cookies n’ Clean was a bustling place on the days of the photo sessions, with a lot of activity. They have a charming shop in front that sells homemade dog cookies, which I couldn’t resist buying for my own dog! The shop also features artistic products with dog themes, and I picked up a little something for myself. Additionally, there are various chew toys available for your pup, including wooden options.

Cookies n’ Clean hired me to photograph their clients’ dogs for free as a Christmas gift! People were delighted and appreciative. Some customers stopped by on their way out after grooming their pets, while others came in specifically for the photos.

Photographing each dog only took a couple of minutes. With their owners standing nearby, the dogs would curiously glance at me, and that was when I captured the picture. I had a great time meeting and photographing these dogs, and I love seeing all the different varieties.

This session was a tremendous success! I love that we included their dogs; they really made the pictures feel complete with their furry friends by their side. 

Mom did an amazing job coordinating outfits so that everyone looked cohesive. The use of layers, like sweaters and accessories, added a lot to the images. Each person showcased their unique style with individual outfit details while being united by similar colors and tones.

We had a family photo session by the lake, and it provided such a beautiful backdrop! Mom wanted a more casual setting where the boys could explore, and explore they did. The oldest was climbing up and down the boulders, the middle one was collecting small rocks, and the youngest kept referring to the lake as a “pool”! It melted my heart to see how much he loved playing in the water! 

Here are some kind words from this happy mama! 

 “I absolutely loved working with Julie! She was so kind and really listened to my ideas for our family photo session. She was patient and encouraging with my three energetic boys. Julie also provided valuable insights on selecting images to print and creative ways to display them in our home. Thank you, Julie!” - N.S.
