I'm Terran and my life's mission is to put some good back out into the world. I do that through my photography, helping pet parents capture the heart and soul or their four-legged family members in tangible form for all time and through my rescue photography to help homeless pets find homes. I also started The Found Project, which celebrates rescue animals whose second chances at life have led them to do extraordinary things.

Every year, I choose a word or two that represent what I want to focus on. This year's words are Sparkle & Shine. ✨

For me, that means it’s time to stop letting fear dull me. It's time to light up with excitement and to share my gifts instead of protectively holding onto them.

It’s time to grow and do great things.

Sparkle & Shine is a reminder that I don’t need to shrink to be safe.

I’m choosing to come out of my shell and build boldly, generously, and with all my heart.

Who's ready to sparkle & shine with me this year???

-----

Sparkle & Shine 2026 begins with the launch of something new... ✨ I'm creating The $10K Weekend (coming very soon) for photographers who are ready to grow, align, and level up this year.

If you’d like to be first to hear about it, the priority waiting list is open at https://www.westwaypets.com/10kweekend

I have to be honest: this is the most excited I’ve felt in a while... and it's all thanks to finally listening to an idea that’s been tapping me on the shoulder for years!

Growing up, I wanted to be a teacher and a veterinarian (turns out science wasn’t my strong suit 😅 but working with animals absolutely was). Every time I've taught at in-person workshops, monthly online classes, or on stage at two major animal photography conferences, I walked away feeling such massive fulfillment and, honestly, a little mind-blown that I got to make a difference in someone else’s life or career. 🤯

So now, as I plan my new course, The $10K Weekend: The Art & Strategy of Profitable Mini Sessions, I feel such joy and excitement just thinking about how much this course can make a difference in your life and your career.

I fall asleep thinking of ideas and strategies to share. I keep a notebook by my bed because the thoughts start flowing the second I wake up. Everything I'm building is geared to give you a clear, repeatable system for running mini sessions that are profitable, sustainable, and aligned with your brand.

I’m so grateful for my teachers — the ones who came before me and learned things the hard way so I didn’t have to. That’s the magic I want to give you.

If you're ready to level up your mini sessions, I’d love to have you on the priority waiting list.

You may be asking: OMG, why is Terran posting all of these studio photos that are a full 180º from her usual golden, sparkly, sun-drenched, dog + people portraits?!

Because I can do what I want.

Haha! Sorry, I think that was the xennial in me talking.

No, but seriously… that’s kind of the entire point.

When I first launched my mini sessions years ago, I wanted them to be the complete opposite of what I normally do. Why? Because it gave me a fun project. Because it gave past clients a reason to book. Because why the heck not?

Over time, I learned from my failures — and trust me, there were many. Once, I had one booking for an entire weekend. Eleven open spots. 🫠

Did I cry about it? I mean… probably. Let’s be honest.

But I also learned from it. I paid attention to what was working and what clearly wasn’t.

And that’s the part I want you to avoid.

So photographer friends, that’s why I’m getting ready to release my course very soon: The $10K Weekend: The Art & Strategy of Profitable Mini Sessions.

If you’d like to add a new (and profitable!) revenue stream to your business in 2026, you can join the priority wait list to be first in line when the doors open. The beta version is coming soon… and there’s a lot of good stuff coming with it! 🎉

This puppy has booked too many mini sessions.

He priced them wrong.

He gave away all the digitals.

He edited until 2am for five days straight.

Now he lies here… questioning everything.

Do not be this puppy.

Mini sessions without strategy are just advanced burnout in a cute outfit. With structure, intention, and a thoughtful client experience, though? They can absolutely take your business to a whole new level.

No chaos. No swindling. No “why did I do this to myself” caffeine-induced midnight spiral.

The structural foundation for profitable minis is exactly what I’m teaching inside The $10K Weekend — and the priority waitlist is OPEN NOW.

If you’ve ever ended a mini session day feeling emotionally flatlined like this tiny bb… get on the list.

This is Bruce.

Bruce would like you to know that booking 100 mini sessions for $100 each, editing for eternity, giving away all the digitals, and burning out immediately is… a truly terrible plan.

Mini sessions are about volume, yes, but when they’re built with actual strategy, structure, and a client experience that doesn’t make you question all your life choices, they can be wildly profitable and sustainable.

Once I figured out how to design minis that served both my clients and my business, I realized a $10,000 weekend wasn’t a fantasy or an internet scam — it was real. And it didn’t come from chaos, shortcuts, or swindling anyone. It came from intention, care, and creating something people couldn’t get anywhere else.

Bruce approves. ✔️

So do my spreadsheets.

The $10K Weekend is launching VERY, VERY soon, and the priority waitlist is open now. If you want mini sessions to stop working against you and start pulling their weight, get on the list to be first to hear about the beta.

Hey photographer friends — I’ve been keeping a big secret. One I've kept close to my heart. One that’s felt a little scary to put out into the world. But also one that is SO, SO EXCITING!

A few years ago, a handful of photographer friends and I were struggling with mini sessions. Sales were low, time felt wasted, and it seemed like clients cared more about price than the art and memories we were creating.

So I started asking a different question: what if there was a better way to do this?

I wanted to create a service-first, joy-focused experience — something that worked beautifully for clients who weren’t ready for a full session or simply wanted to try something new, without sacrificing profitability or burning me out. A true win-win.

So I built it.

That weekend, I earned $10,000 in mini sessions — and everything shifted. It wasn’t about selling more; it was about serving better. Clients thanked me for taking great care with their pets' portraits, creating art they could not have created themselves, and for providing them with memories to last a lifetime.

Now, I want to share the full strategic framework with you, crafted to balance profitability, ease, and client experience so your mini sessions can feel as intentional and freeing as the results themselves.

Introducing... The $10K Weekend: The Art & Strategy of Profitable Mini Sessions.

The priority waiting list is now open for the upcoming beta program. Inside, I’ll be sharing exactly how I design mini sessions that feel calm, premium, and repeatable — plus live access to ask questions and refine it for your own business.

Imagine what an extra $10,000 could do for you and your business! Not from chaos or overbooking — but from mini sessions designed to feel calm, premium, and aligned. That’s the difference strategy makes.

Join the priority list at https://www.westwaypets.com/10kweekend and tell me here what you're most excited to learn!

A Christmas Story, Last Holiday, and The Holiday are three of my must-watch movies every year. I have been loving curling up on the sofa with Leenie, sharing a fluffy blanket, and watching my favorite feel-good movies together! Leenie especially loves getting one of her favorite Earth Animal No-Hide chews while I snack on some chips & homemade guac.

What's your pup’s go-to movie night snack? 🍿
