We know it in our hearts—our dogs bring so much joy into our lives.
Their time with us always feels too short. That’s why one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is a collection of photographs that celebrate your dog’s unique personality and your bond together.
Dogs are like prisms in the sunlight.
They take the ordinary and turn it into something magical.
Their love transforms our everyday lives
into something extraordinary.

✨ WARM, VIBRANT PHOTOS
Your images will have a natural, glowing warmth, no matter the season. Even in winter or early spring, my shooting and editing style ensures a bright, cozy feel.
✨ A STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE
From fresh treats to a comfy blanket for sitting shots, I bring everything we need to keep the session fun and easy. We'll talk a lot about your dog and I'll capture the unique things that make her or him so special. I've got all kinds of whistles and tricks to get their attention so you don't have to worry about that part at all. You and your dog will be well taken care of.
✨ SIMPLE ORDERING
You’ll get a proof gallery before we meet on Zoom, giving you time to pick your favorites. When we meet, I’ll help guide you on the best images for your needs—whether it’s artwork, an album, or something else.

❤️ THAT'S YOUR DOG
The shining light in your life!
❤️ JOYFUL ENERGY
It's simple — be ready to laugh and celebrate your dog. Your dog doesn’t have to sit perfectly still or follow every cue. Every session moves at your dog’s pace, ensuring a fun and natural experience where you can connect and show your love for each other.

We cannot thank you enough for bringing so much happiness into our home!

Your dog will have the best photo-shoot experience in a relaxed and positive environment. I have the patience and empathy required to work any dog, particularly if your pup is shy, anxious, or easily distracted. This will help both of you feel more comfortable and at ease.
5. Patience and empathy
Your dog might need a bit of 'space' at first since being around a stranger with a large camera can be a new experience. That's where my special camera lenses come in— they allow me to zoom in, making it look like I was much closer. Plus, these lenses are incredibly fast, capturing stunning photos in just a fraction of a second. This equipment ensures I can create high-quality images in a wide range of lighting conditions.

4. Specialized equipment
Your photos will be stunning because I craft a unique creative vision for each session, tailored specifically to you and your dog. With a deep understanding of composition, lighting, and other key elements, I create truly memorable images that capture your special bond.
3. A creative vision
Your dog will feel comfortable and relaxed, which results in more expressive and candid photos. I have a better understanding of dog behavior compared to most photographers — I’ve specialized in photographing dogs and have worked with hundreds! This is essential when it comes to capturing natural and authentic photos.
2. A strong understanding of dogs
Most photographers specialize in people OR dogs, which you can see by looking at their portfolios. I have years of experience of photographing people AND their dogs, showing the connection. I'll help with flattering poses as well as editing your pictures to make you look your very best, with glowing skin, bright eyes and more. This, combined with extensive education and experience in photographing dogs, allows me to create gorgeous images of both of you.

The experience we had with Amanda was phenomenal! We really enjoyed Amanda's ability to bring out our dogs' true personalities.

I love my pictures and display them at work as well as home!
Isn't that the way it should be?
Everything will be easy and joyful.
I work with dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and ages. With years of experience, I know how to help your dog feel comfortable quickly. I’ve photographed hundreds of dogs, and only on, Callie, preferred I keep my distance. So, I did, using a long zoom lens to give her the space she wanted. I captured relaxed, beautiful pictures her - she's the dog shown in this section.
Worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera? You’re not alone — I get it. That’s why we’ll focus on natural, unposed moments of you simply enjoying time with your dog. For more classic looking-at-the camera portraits, I’ll gently guide you into flattering poses and help with little details, like what to do with your hands.
We’ll talk about your dog a lot during the session—it’s all part of the fun! I’ll guide you with simple prompts, like taking a short walk, sitting on a blanket while chatting with your pup, or playing with their favorite toy (ball, anyone?). No stiff posing, just natural moments that truly capture your bond.
Great photos come down to the right light, the best angles, and expert finishing touches—and I’ve got that covered.
I also fine-tune every image, brightening eyes, smoothing flyaways, and even removing dog fur from your clothes.
These might just be the best photos of yourself you’ve had in years!
will this work
for my dog & me?"
signature photography EXPERIENCE
Absolutely, yes!
Sessions are filled with laughter and fun, just like everything should be with dogs. I've worked with all kinds of dogs — reactive ones, shy ones, high energy ones, deaf ones, blind ones, physically-challenged ones, and more.

I have over ten years of experience in photographing people with their dogs.
