High Maintenance Bitch (HMB), whose tag line is “Fetching new fashions for girl’s best friend,” is the first and only chain of brand stores in the pet industry. The HMB Poulsbo Store is owned and operated by Amy Holmes and J. Nichole Smith, joined by their sibling Great Danes, Hooch and Olivia.

Holmes, a business consultant and portrait photographer, and Smith, a pet photographer, announced the exclusive addition of “Dane & Dane Photography” to HMB Poulsbo. This pet portrait studio will offer a variety of digital and film pet portrait sittings, as well as custom archival framing. As official photographer for HMB, Smith has had the opportunity to travel and photograph HMB’s celebrity clientele, most recently at Animal Fair’s “Paws for Style” doggie fashion show in New York.

HMB was started in 2002 by brother and sister Lori and Ryan Pacchiano in their grandmother’s Seattle garage. It has since become the leader in fashion apparel for pets. All of the HMB line is sold in over 500 stores world wide and continues to be designed and manufactured in Seattle.
