Bringing Color to Life: Powder Sessions

I’ve loved creating colorful art for as long as I can remember, from literally splashing paint on canvas in art class to capturing color through my camera lens. Powder sessions let me turn already bright, colorful portraits into even more vivid, playful works of art.

With our Powder Session Add-On, pets are brushed with natural, non-toxic pigment powders to create vibrant, one of a kind portraits. Using a soft paintbrush, we’ll apply just a small amount of powder, often around the face, to highlight expression and bring out personality. The powder stays on for about 15 minutes before being wiped away with a damp cloth, though sometimes a hint of color stays for a few days.

Over time, we discovered the sweet spot where color doesn’t just decorate a portrait, but really breathes life into it. I’ll never forget the session with an amazing husky mix named Kodiak (pictured). As I looked through the images during editing, I knew instantly, this was exactly what I had been striving for! My dream is to one day compile a book of all the pets who’ve stepped in front of my lens, each page alive with color and full of the joy that first drew me to art as a child.
