If you’re looking for a photography experience that is a mix of slightly posed and candid with the ability to go with the flow and follow your dog’s comfort & lead, you’re in the right place.

During our session, we will focus more on the connection you share and making everyone feel comfortable through a low-stress environment, creating unique and personality filled portraits.

You’re in the right place if…

  • You want to hire a photographer

    who will respect your dog’s comfort level and cues and has years of experience with dogs with varying ages, temperaments, and activity levels.

The Guarantee

I want your artwork and the memories inside them to bring you joy and last as long as we love our pets, a lifetime.

This is why beyond simply providing photography sessions & digital portraits, I have intentionally curated a selection of products created by print makers, many of them small businesses, that work exclusively with professional photographers. They also care just as much about your printed keepsakes and memories as I do.

All of the products I provide are among the finest in the industry. My products range from being handcrafted in Italy to being 100% real wood sustainably harvested and milled in the US (seen in the video from a printer I work with often for multi-image, handmade frames), they are the best of the best and your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

Your photos are made with love from start to finish.
