What Makes This Different?

This Isn’t “Sit. Stay. Smile.” Photography

It’s storytelling with dirt on the boots and wagging tails!

  • Experience the Moment: You and your dog, relaxed and having fun.

  • Adventure Locations: Trails, lakes, fields, even the beach or urban-scapes — wherever your story unfolds best.

  • Tangible Artwork: From framed wall art to keepsake albums, your adventure becomes part of your home.

  • Guided Process: You enjoy the hike; I handle the rest — from planning to printing.

No stress. No posing marathons. Just you, your dog, and an experience that ends with artwork that makes you stop and smile every time you walk past it.

The Three Step Experience

Getting Started

The first step is to reach out! I love to hear about you and your pet's story. With that information, together we can customize a portrait session specifically for you and your pet; starting with picking an epic location and scheduling the portrait session.

The Session

It's portrait day! We meet at a beautiful location. I guide you through the process of assisting me to get the best results possible. During this time, expect to laugh and have fun while I document the story of you and your pet.

Afterwards

A curated gallery of images will be prepared for you to gush over and relive the fun day. We meet in-person, or virtually, I'll guide you through the process of picking your favorite images and designing artwork that fits your home and lifestyle best.

From Trail Dust to Timeless Art

Part II

The Product

A couple of weeks after the portrait session, we gather together again and smile and laugh as we watch a slideshow of the images. With my guidance, you'll pick your favorite images and the artwork to showcase those favorites. You can choose from a la carte product or collection packages. 

Here are some of the options for artwork:

  • Wall Art - Framed Fine Art Prints, Gallery-Wrapped Canvases, Metal Prints
  • Albums and Print Boxes
  • Prints and Keepsakes


You’ll walk away with more than digital files — you’ll have pieces that live and breathe your story.

 Most clients will invest $1500 - $2500 on their cherished artwork.
