Our Pet Portrait Experiences are more than just any typical photosession.

They are a precious, memorable time, we curate together, of that remarkable bond between you and your pups.

During a beautiful morning or afternoon together at a favorite location of your choice, we will delight in everything that is your special furry family member —from beautiful portraits to your favorite action shots to quiet, intimate moments together and everything in between!

Our sessions, as you will see, are not only full of laughter and fun, but we aim for both pet parents and the pups to have a relaxing, enjoyable experience that none of you will ever forget. During our time together, we will create adored, heartfelt images unlike any other that you will love now and always.

We truly want to capture your pet as you know them best including their quirky left ear, the way they leap for their favorite ball, or how they can sit beautifully among a gorgeous natural backdrop . Then, we will work together to turn your images into conversation-starting artwork you can joyfully, proudly display in your home, at the office, or anywhere else you’d like!

We had a wonderful experience with Joanne! She was very communicative prior to our session, giving us all the information we needed and also tips on how to make the most out of our session. At the session she had a very calming presence that would put any dog at ease. Our dog is deaf and you cannot get his attention with standard techniques, but that caused no issue for Joanne. She was still able to capture our dog's full personality and gave us photos that we will treasure forever. 10/10 would recommend.
