WATCH PARTY: Holiday Paw-traits with NYC Pet Photographer Carmen Gonzalez! @AdoramaEvents

Uploaded November 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Get ready for some holiday cheer—live from the Adorama Event Space! 📸🐾

We're bringing in NYC's own pet "pawtographer" Carmen Gonzalez to capture some festive portraits of people with their pets right in the Adorama Event Space! We had tons of people already sign up to bring their pup and get a photo (sorry, already sold out! 😢), and we wanted to do a BTS livestream as well so you at home can watch the magic unfold! Carmen will also be giving tips and tricks as she shoots, so you'll be able to see exactly how she gets her famous pet portraits!

➡️ (Just to reiterate, sign-ups are closed to actually bring your pet to the Adorama store for a portrait, but we'd love for you to watch the livestream here and jump in the chat!)

About the photographer ⤵️

Carmen Gonzalez is New York City’s premier pet photographer, celebrated for her warm, expressive portraits that capture the heart and personality of every pup she meets. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, she moved to New York in 1984 and turned her lifelong love of dogs into a career that blends artistry, empathy, and advocacy.

Her sessions are unhurried and personal, built on trust and connection to help dogs feel comfortable and confident. Beyond her work behind the lens, Carmen is a passionate advocate for animal welfare, using her platform to raise awareness for stray rescues in Puerto Rico and inspire others to see dogs the way she does — as family.
