Michelle, the proud owner of Zoom Room South Tampa, recently stepped in front of the camera with her soulful, goofy Great Dane, Koda. As someone who trains dogs every day, it was extra meaningful to capture this bond on camera—especially with the understanding that tomorrow isn’t promised.
“Koda is my absolute soul dog,” Michelle shared. “I’ve been wanting to get her photo taken forever. With our new partnership on the Second Shot Adoption Photos project, it felt like the perfect time.”
Koda isn’t just big in size—she’s big in personality too. Described as goofy, stubborn, and incredibly loving, Koda has been a life-changing presence in Michelle’s world. She’s taught Michelle patience, helped her look inward, and even inspired her to open Zoom Room in the first place.
“She challenges me in all the right ways. Her judgmental looks, her snuggles, the way she perks up when she sees me through the window—it’s everything,” Michelle said. “She’ll run downstairs, tail wagging, like she hasn’t seen me in years. Then she lays her head in my lap and all the stress disappears.”
Despite the chaos of running a business, parenting, and life in general, Koda brings comfort, calmness, and joy. Whether she’s galloping around the house in her clumsy way or curled up next to Michelle on the couch, she brings peace and purpose to every day.
“I’ve never had a dog photographed before,” Michelle admitted. “But having these moments of Koda captured means the world to me.”
Koda is more than just a dog—she’s a healer, a teacher, and a best friend. And now, thanks to a beautiful photo session, those memories will last forever.
