I'm not originally from Toledo—I moved here in 2016—and for a while, I struggled to feel at home. But since opening my business and putting down roots, Toledo finally feels like a place filled with hope and opportunity.

It’s that time again, time to vote for the winner of a photo shoot with us. We want to share the wonderful pets who are entered in our FLUFF-uary photo session giveaway. Though these 23 animals are all very worthy of photos, only one can win.
Some of our favorite moments include: watching a Labrador get frustrated they couldn’t fit every tennis ball in their mouth, seeing an owner sit patiently with their dog who wasn’t comfortable joining the play and getting soaked by a stampede of dogs running through the shallow end.
So here is part two, which mostly contains the medium size dog group. This group loved the water and loved running up to us to shake their wet fur all over our equipment. We knew what we were getting into.
We have been on the lookout for a dog pool party to document. Not only is it a wonderful opportunity to practice some action photography skills, but witnessing dogs having the time of their lives is kind of intoxicating. We also love getting involved with Toledo area pet owners. When we noticed Glass City Dog Park share their event on social media, we reached out to see if they would like us to come take photos of the Jack’s Pooch Plunge.
“They were so good with Pearl and gave her time to investigate and get comfortable in the studio before getting started! All the snackies made Jessica her new best friend, while Rebecca expertly snapped away, getting the best dog smiles and perfect poses!”
At the end of last year, Jessica and I decided we wanted to personalize our client experience a little more. We reached out to Tori about designing a custom collar charm for Trumbull Photography. Tori joined us in-person for a consult/brainstorming session to pin down what we were looking for.

We get to see the goofy bloopers from our sessions but we don’t often share them in our portfolio. It’s time to pull back the curtain and let you giggle with us over these truly adorable fails. Do we always get nice photos at our sessions? Yes. Is it easy or predictable? Never. Do the pets behave? Hardly!
He will always be my baby boy and my 65lb weighted blanket. He brings so much joy and cheer into our lives. Also a lot of mischief and borking for attention, but his positive attributes are so worth it. Titan is all fun and games until someone is upset... He will climb on top of you and force you to pet him until you feel better.
We are so excited to be offering Lavender field sessions this year! Last summer was our first time at Luckey Road Lavender Farm. Kylee has such a beautiful field and she welcomed dogs with no hesitation. Speaking of dogs, this post features Reise, the Luckey Lavender resident dog. She stole our hearts and we loved getting to document her.
Now you get to be involved in choosing the winner! All participants were required to post their pet with a brief bio on our Facebook page. How do they win? You get to read all the introductions to these Toledo area pets and cast your vote through the form below! Entrant with the most votes wins!

Leroy is one of those dogs who survived hell and yet maintained an adoration of all people, a love of companionship form other dogs, and the ability to positively represent his breed and rescue dogs everywhere.
Photographing senior dogs is something I find very rewarding. Seeing a dog that has been so loved and cherished get to be preserved in professional photos is very meaningful. It was clear that Watson and Genny’s owners did not want to miss the opportunity to have these pictures.
“We've been through everything with him. He's very special to us. I've had him since he was 20 minutes old. We went through vets telling us at a week old to take him home and wait to see if he will survive. We went through the uncertainty of his injury and not knowing what his life would be like. To now, we have this happy, healthy boy who is an absolute joy. It's been a journey and I'm so glad to have these photos to document how special he is.”
What made you choose to have your dog, Marvin, in your photos with you? “I only thought it was appropriate to have my dog in my graduation pictures since I graduated with a degree in the veterinary field. And let’s be honest, he is so handsome he belongs in front of the camera!”
Charles brought his best boy, Nelsan, to my lavender field pet photo sessions at Luckey Road Lavender Farm. Nelsan is a very handsome Blue Heeler. He is extremely smart and loves to learn tricks and do activities. Check out Charles interview to get to know Nelsan!
“It is meaningful to have professional images of Bailey because he is part of our small family! I feel joy seeing how happy and handsome Bailey looks in his photos.”
I always enjoy having puppies in the studio. As a pet photographer in Toledo, I am often looking for ways to challenge myself and become better at what I do. I try to work with all sizes, breeds and ages. Volunteering with a local animal rescue, Planned Pethood, has given me opportunities to photograph dogs who might present some challenges. Some rescue dogs are nervous about meeting new people, some have current health issues and many do not have formal training. If I stay patient and make them feel comfortable, I can document each dog despite their circumstances.
I had amateur photos taken of my senior dog a couple years before he passed away and those photos mean the world to me. I wanted to have some for Beau as well because unfortunately, Saints do not live long. Also, Beau is considered a “special needs” dog – he suffers from a mild case of cerebellar hypoplasia. He is an ambassador for rescue, the breed, and special needs dogs everywhere.
