Everlasting Love: A Project Honoring our Senior Fur Friends
Benefitting CARE for Animals
Have you always wanted to show off what is wonderful about your pet with a professional portrait session? Well now is the best time ever! Our new book project will honor and celebrate our senior pets, while helping organizations in Arkansas that rescue and rehome the pets that the shelters don't consider "adoptable." This year our partner is CARE for Animals, an amazing organization that not only fosters and finds adoptive families for rescued animals, but also has other amazing programs like a pet food pantry and vouchers to help owners spay or neuter their pet!
• Special session fee of $35 goes to CARE
• Monies raised from book sales go to CARE
• A portion of artwork and album sales from the project goes to CARE

Isn't It Time To Celebrate Your Relationship With Your Best Friend?
As pet parents ourselves, we understand how precious these babies are and how important they become in our lives. That's why at Mariposa Studio we dedicate ourselves to creating beautiful photos that will capture what is unique about your best friend.
Our favorite moment is when you get to see your photographs for the first time. It’s at this moment that you can finally see the love and connection you have with your pet, displayed as a work of art. As these portraits hang in your home they will only grow more precious with time.
Don't let the years go by without capturing those special moments with your furry friend. This is a wonderful opportunity to create those works of art that you will treasure for many years to come!

MEET YOUR
PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Michelle, mom to two human children and five fur babies. As a lifelong pet owner, I know how much our furry friends can change our lives, and how much we miss them when they are gone.
Having a pet in your life is a special bond that goes beyond words.
Having beautiful photos that tell the story of those special relationships is a wonderful way to honor and treasure those times with them.
I have loved many pets in my life, and each one has a special place in my heart. I cannot imaging my life being complete without them, and I find comfort in being able to remember their sweet faces and personalities. But when we talk about senior pets, our sweet Anatolian Shepherd, Champ, always comes to mind. Champ lived to be almost 14, quite a long life for a dog of his size, and he was a good friend. We lost Champ in 2020, and we still miss him.
Of course, like all pet owners, I have pulled out the cell phone for snapshots of my fur babies, only to find they were blurry and badly lit, that I have not captured the action, or that my dirty laundry is distressingly obvious in the background. In the studio, using all the tools at my disposal, I can create those heart-stopping, action-stopping photos that encompass the true beauty of your sweet babies!
Let me create beautiful artwork for you so you never have to go a day without seeing that sweet face and that joyful personality!
"Hi! I'm Michelle, the Dog approved owner of Mariposa Studio! I love sitting on the floor with 100 pounds of dog in my lap, getting licked in the face, and making puppy noises to get that perfect head tilt. You will never catch me complaining when a dog jumps on me! I consider it the highest compliment.
Have Some Questions?
Can I Bring More than One Pet?
Yes! As long as everyone gets along, you can bring multiple pets. Sometimes the relationship between two pets is what we want to capture.
Where is Your Studio?
I'm in Little Rock, Arkansas, and I work out of an old cottage that has an old workshop where the studio lives now. This means we have a backyard, we're on a quiet, dead-end street without a lot of traffic passing by, and there is a place for the dogs to relieve themselves. In short, we've created the perfect pet portrait studio to welcome your fur babies!
What if My Pet Has Limited Mobility
This is where our phone conversations and session planning are most important. For pets with limited mobility, we have always made arrangements. Those vary from carrying a 60 pound fur baby in my arms to the studio, to photographing in the pet's own home. Rest assured, we will take the best care of your sweet babies to make sure we capture their beauty under the best possible conditions.
