This is Ashley & Gracie

Ashley and her 4 year old pup, Gracie, are best buddies and running partners. They spend every moment on Maui they can together and support each other in good times and in challenging time. Happy go lucky, social, silly, Gracie is always ready for an adventure. One of the things that Ashley loves about Gracie is that she is incredibly sweet and helps her to focus on what is important. Seeing her giant ear to ear smile is also one of Ashley's favorite things about her fur baby. 

We scheduled a photo session on Maui with them when they were both at their best on one of their favorite beaches and had a great time capturing their relationship. The two of them are totally in sync just a couple. It's awesome! 

NOTE: This session was photographed before Maui's "Shelter in Place" order. 

I had a little fun yesterday getting creative. Happy holidays from our Maui photography studio!

INTRODUCING SANDY PAWS MAUI PET PORTRAITS!

Do you have a new fur baby in your family? Do you have a senior dog that has been your best friend for many years? Did you adopt a dog needing a forever home?  

If they are a member of your family, we want to know all about them and make a portrait of them you will adore! We would love to chronicle their time with you as a companion, playmate, caregiver, therapy dog, blanket, babysitter, comic, bed warmer, adventure buddy, pre-wash dishwasher, protector and friend.

I grew up wanting to be a vet so it's no surprise that I added pet portraits to our Maui portrait photography services. We offer our Sandy Paws Pet Portraits on Maui both indoors and outdoors but so far everyone has wanted to bring their happy fur babies into our Maui portrait studio for a little air conditioned love under the studio lights. We give them some time to cool down in our A/C before we photograph them and that gives them time to check out all the studio smells too. We are currently booking Sandy Paws Portraits for 1-2 dogs as long as they bring an equal number of humans with them.  

We'd love to meet your fur baby! We even have a toy for your pet after their Sandy Paws experience!

This handsome pit bull came into our Maui portrait studio to celebrate his new life with his forever home.

He was found next to the road on Maui starving and badly gored by a wild pig with an infection that almost killed him. At the time he was found by his adopted family, he was scared of just about everything. They took him to the vet right away to start the healing process and through lots of patience, love and kindness, they coaxed him back to physical health. He still bears a physical scar on his shoulder but he is a star student in both obedience and agility training at Sit Means Sit. We celebrated his session with a traditional wild boar's tusk adornment and floral lei featuring native Hawaiian plants including palapalai ferns and a'ali'i from Haawina Farms and his favorite dog auntie's yard. He is one sweet, happy, healthy and lucky dog. 

He was gifted a Sandy Paws session by one of his owner’s friends who believes in second chances.
