pets are only with us for a short time, but that doesn't mean we won't love them forever

Each stage of a pet's life offers different joys and quirks. Whether you have a pup, a playful teen, or an old soul, we can capture wall-worthy memories of your pets that last forever.

I offer individual sessions, or you can bundle a milestone series for puppies
that includes three 20-minute portrait sessions during their first year to see them grow!

I know how important your pets are to the family. See this handsome fella here to the left? This is my dog, Pope. He likes long walks for sniffing, dried sweet potato snacks, and sunbathing on the hill in our backyard. He's both regal and, as we say in our house, "full of beans." I'd love to get to know your pets, too!

During your pet portrait session, we'll get different poses of your pet to make sure their unique personality shines.

What to expect:

It takes time to warm up. New places can be intimidating for our pets, so we'll take some time to let them wander the studio and relax. We can do a consultation meeting ahead of time if you're not sure how your pet will handle it!

We'll capture a set of classic poses and let your pet show us their personality. The school photo, the treat snatch, the peaking over shot, it'll be a blast!

I edit your images with a bright, natural style that captures pets in a timeless way, so you can look back on your photos in 20 years and remember the moment as it was!

We can do just your pet OR include you or your family in the session. Simply let me know what you'd like when you schedule your session.

So let's get started! I can't wait to meet you!
