Portraits of dogs, cats, horses, and the occasional parrot. Your living room, your yard, or the park where they already know the rules.

How it works
Four steps from first email to final files
Tell me about them
Age, energy level, what they love, and what scares them. It changes how I plan the session.
Pick the setting
A backdrop in your living room for control, their favorite room for shy animals, a park for dogs who need to move.
Shoot in short bursts
Ten minutes on, five minutes off. We stop when they are done, not when the clock says so.
Prints on the wall
Proofs in 48 hours, finals in three business days, print ordering in the gallery.
FAQ
Questions I get every week
What if my dog will not sit still?
Most do not. I shoot fast and use treats and toys. Movement usually makes the better photo anyway.
Can I be in the photos?
Yes, and you should be. Hands and laps make pet portraits look like they belong to someone.
Do you photograph horses?
Yes, at your barn or field. Barn sessions start at $600 for 90 minutes.
How do we hold the date?
A one page agreement and a 30 percent deposit. The balance is due on the day of the session.
