NEW THIS YEAR - rather than dedicating one day to benefit local animal rescue and shelters, this year every session will benefit them! For each booked Christmas mini-session, I will be donating $25 to be divided equally amongst my long-time volunteer partners: Road Trip 4 Paws, Coppell Humane Society, City of Coppell Animal Services and City of Carrollton Animal Adoption Center.

IMPORTANT: Up to 4 subjects allowed (only 3 large dogs will fit on the bed), can be any combination of kids and pets, it can also accommodate two adults with one medium dog or two small dogs.
