Shelter Sessions

Every animal deserves to be seen.

​

Since last year, I have been visiting local East Tennessee shelters to provide professional portraits for adoptable dogs, cats, small mammals, and even livestock. Often, an animal’s "intake" photo—captured when they are most frightened or from behind a kennel door—is the only image potential adopters see. My goal is to capture their true spirit and best qualities, providing an honest and heart-tugging representation that helps them find a home.

​

In 2025, I was able to photograph over 500 animals. I want to continue this work and reach even more shelters, but I can't do it alone. Whether you are an individual animal lover or a local business, your sponsorship directly funds these sessions. By partnering with Shelter Sessions, you are helping us spread the word and give these animals the visibility they need to meet their future families.
