Feral & Fab Pet Photography - Emeryville, CA

Verified Member since Aug 2025 Verified checkmark

For dogs who are a little bit feral and a whole lot fabulous.

I'm a dog photographer roaming San Francisco and the East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and beyond), capturing dogs exactly as they are. No stiff sits. No forced smiles. No trying to turn your dog into someone they're not, just the goofy, dramatic, hilarious, sensitive, and wonderfully weird personality that made you fall in love with them in the first place.

Every dog has their own brand of chaos, and honestly? That's the fun part. Some dogs arrive ready to be the star of the show. Some need a little warm-up time. Some have strong opinions about strangers, cameras, or the fact that you would even suggest they sit somewhere other than their favorite spot. All of them are perfect exactly as they are.

I have a special soft spot for the shy ones, the sensitive ones, the rescue pups, and the dogs whose humans say, "I'm not sure they're going to cooperate..." (Good news: cooperation is boring.)

Every session is built around your dog and your humans. We explore, play, take breaks, follow their lead, and make room for all the little quirks that make your dog your dog. The goal isn't a perfect pose. The goal is capturing the personality you never want to forget.

I'm Fear Free Certified and volunteer with Bay Area rescues including Rocket Dog Rescue and Berkeley Humane whenever I can.

Years from now, I want you to look at these photos and feel like they're right there with you again, the goofy expressions, the funny habits, the little details that made them unmistakably yours.

Let's make some magic (and probably some weird faces) together!
