This October, Royal Palms Resort and Spa in Phoenix launched a new tradition with their inaugural Howl-o-ween Dog Costume Contest. As a pet photographer and content creator, I loved being part of this tail-wagging celebration!
A Paw-some Halloween Event
The resort’s beautiful grounds provided the perfect backdrop for dogs dressed in creative Halloween costumes—from superhero pups to classic movie characters. The event brought together dog lovers from across Phoenix and Scottsdale for an afternoon of fun and friendly competition.






Royal Palms: A True Pet-Friendly Partner
Royal Palms continues to set the standard for luxury hospitality that welcomes pets, which is why they’re a proud partner for our Arizona Dog-Friendly Adventure Map. Their commitment to creating memorable experiences for both guests and their furry companions makes them a standout destination.
Having a table at this event allowed me to connect with the pet-loving community, share my photography work, and celebrate what makes Arizona such an incredible place for dogs and their families.
