In the summer of 2021 I took a chance on myself when I finally found the spot that I felt could be perfect for my Pet Portrait dreams. I spent two months fixing up the diamond in the "ruff," getting it ready for clients. Then on September 17th, 2021, I had my Grand Opening!

I have wanted my own studio space now for the past four years so I could focus on my dream of being Rapid City's only pet focused studio. I won't lie I almost gave up, it seemed finding just the right place was just not meant to be, but then it was. These past 5 months have simply been heaven. I have been enjoying getting to know and meet all the pets in my studio, and Mabel has enjoyed meeting all the pet parents.

I am excited and elated that my community has supported my dreams and my journey these past 8 years and I look forward to what the future brings.
