Fur, feathers, scales and tails – I photograph them all!
While the majority of my clients are of the canine variety, I'm happy to photograph any of your best friends. -
Most of my clients prefer in home sessions. I find that the most intimate portraits are of those when your best friend is in their own surrounding. However, if you prefer a location portrait the most magical light for photography happens during the "golden hour," which is during the last two hours of daylight, but there are locations better suited for morning sessions when we can still take advantage of the lovely low-angle light.

Not at all! Some of my favorite portraits are of dogs standing up. And rest assured, I have a DEEP well of unique sounds and tasty treats to grab their attention–even if it's just for that split second while I capture each image.
-
Yes! Absolutely! Believe it or not, 95% of the dogs that I photograph are on leash. Leashes not only keep your best friend safe, but they're also important for following local laws when photographing in urban environments. Thanks to Photoshop, leashes will be removed from most final images.

My camera shutter speed goes all the way up to 1/8000 of a second–in other words, plenty fast enough to capture even the most active dog! Our sessions never require your dog to sit, stay and behave for hours (or even minutes) on end. One of the benefits of hiring a pet-specific photographer is that we know how to work with "hyper" models and still deliver gorgeous art.
