When passion for pets meets professional expertise, magic happens. That’s exactly what unfolded during this year’s pet portrait fundraiser session with Izzy, her mother Alison, and their three adorable rescue dogs—Charlie, Oliver, and Poppy.

A Session with Purpose

Every year, Shalimar Studios hosts pet portrait fundraiser sessions to support local animal rescues throughout Arizona. This year, we had the pleasure of photographing Izzy, a talented local dog trainer and owner of Midnight K9, along with her videography work through Guido Media. As a fellow small business owner dedicated to working with animals, Izzy understands the importance of giving back to the rescue community.

Three Rescue Dogs, Three Unique Personalities

Charlie, Oliver, and Poppy each brought their own charm to the session. All three pups are rescue dogs who found their forever home with Izzy, and their transformed lives are a testament to the power of adoption and proper training. From playful moments to those quiet, soulful gazes that rescue dogs seem to perfect, we captured the genuine bond between Izzy and her pack.

Supporting Arizona Animal Rescues

These pet portrait fundraiser sessions have raised over $3,100 for animal rescues over the past 2 years, and every session contributes directly to helping more dogs like Charlie, Oliver, and Poppy find their happy endings.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT yasmin

I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments.

I believe in creating images that demand to be printed—framed in fine art materials and displayed as the heirlooms they're meant to become. My approach is both editorial and intimate, capturing not just faces but the emotional landscape of your life. Each portrait is thoughtfully composed to reveal your authentic story while honoring the beauty of the world around you. Your journey is extraordinary and entirely your own, and I'm here to preserve it with the artistry it deserves.
