Book A PET PHOTOSHOOT
Thank you for considering me to capture your fur families beautiful memories.
Capture the Heart of Your Pet
Your pet is more than just an animal—they’re pure love in its most unconditional form. They greet you with joy, comfort you with their presence, and fill your life with memories you wish could last forever. But as much as we wish it weren’t true, their lives are heartbreakingly short. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to preserving their essence, their quirks, and their boundless love through stunning photography.
As a pet photographer, my goal is to capture the soul of your furry, feathered, or scaly companion. I specialize in creating images that showcase their unique personality—whether it’s a dog’s playful energy, a cat’s quiet wisdom, or even the charm of a horse, rabbit, lizard, parrot, or pig! Every pet has a story, and I aim to tell it with artistry and care.
Why Book a Pet Photoshoot?
* Preserve Precious Memories: Time flies too fast when it comes to our beloved pets. A photoshoot is a chance to freeze these fleeting moments in time and keep their memory alive forever.
* Celebrate Their Personality: From goofy grins to soulful gazes, I capture the essence of your pet’s character in a way that makes your heart smile.
* Heartfelt Keepsakes: Whether it’s a wall canvas, a coffee table album, or digital portraits, these images will become treasures you’ll hold dear for a lifetime.
Let’s Plan Your Shoot
* Humans Welcome (With Planning): While my focus is on your pet, I can absolutely sneak you into a few shots if we plan ahead! If you want to be in every photo, let’s chat and discuss if it is something we can make happen beautifully. I typically refer my human friends to one of my favorite local family photographers. :)
* All Animals, All Locations: While dogs and cats are the stars of many sessions, I love working with animals of all shapes and sizes. Horses, birds, reptiles—if they’re part of your family, I want to celebrate them!
* Anywhere in the World: I’m based near the breathtaking Yosemite National Park, in Mariposa County; known for its majestic cliffs, towering trees, rolling hills and awe-inspiring landscapes. There’s no better place to photograph your pet, than amidst these natural wonders! However, I’m happy to travel anywhere in the world to capture your story. * travel fees apply *
