Puppy Pop Mini Sessions | Where My Love for Photography Meets My Love for Animals

February 02, 2026 by Dawn Pecorella Curto in Dog Photography, Pet Photography

If you truly know me, you know two things are always close to my heart: photography and animals. This year, I’m finally bringing those two passions together in a way that feels incredibly special and I couldn’t be more excited to introduce my Puppy Pop Mini Sessions.

As a New Jersey family photographer (and proud dog mom!) I’ve always loved documenting connection, personality and those darn fleeting moments. And honestly… dogs bring all of that and more. Their goofy smiles, curious puppy dog eyes and fun energy deserve to be captured just as much as any family milestone. As we know, their time with us is way too fleeting. Let’s get photos of them hanging on your walls.

What Are Puppy Pop Mini Sessions?

Puppy Pop Mini Sessions are short, fun photo sessions just for dogs. Whether your pup is brand new to your family or the old man of the house, these sessions are all about capturing their unique personality.

Sessions can take place:

  • In my garage on a clean paper backdrop - various colors available

  • Or outdoors at a local New Jersey park

These mini sessions are perfect for pups who might not sit still for long (because let’s be real… most don’t).

A Fun Way to Celebrate Your Pup’s Birthday 🎂

One of my favorite ways to use these sessions? Puppy cake smash photos.

Yes, they’re just as adorable as they sound.

A puppy cake smash is a fun, playful way to document your dog’s birthday or “gotcha day.” If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate your dog, this is such a sweet option.

Special Intro Pricing for Puppy Pop Minis

Because I’m building out my puppy portfolio, I’m offering these sessions at a steeply discounted rate for a limited time. The rate will go back to my regular mini pricing after I get 10 bookings.

Puppy Pop Mini Session Includes:

  • One dog per session

  • Location of your choice (garage studio or local park)

  • 5 professionally edited digital images

  • $325 total (regular mini session pricing is $625)

  • Dogs must be ok off leash or be on a long lead

As a little extra bonus, anyone who books a Puppy Pop Mini Session will also receive 20% off our Ollie Pop Design Co dog bandanas -because a stylish pup makes the photos even better.

Why I Love Photographing Dogs

Dogs are honest. They show up exactly as they are, curious, playful, stubborn and always full of love. Photographing them feels incredibly natural and I love every second of the sloppy kisses and goofy smiles.

My goal with these sessions is to create images you’ll treasure long after the puppy stage has passed. Because just like our kids, they grow up way too fast.

Ready to Book a Puppy Pop Mini Session?

If you’re in the Morristown, New Jersey area and have been thinking about getting some photos of your fur baby, celebrating their birthday, gotcha day or just because, I would love to work with you!
