Last weekend, the Barkery Bootique hosted a pet portraits event to raise money for the Wellsville Cat Sanctuary. I got to meet some crazy gorgeous pets – thank you to everybody who participated!

This session hit everything on my wish list: a baby, an adorable little girl, and a mommy-entrepreneur. I love helping moms find success with their businesses!
