Laura Fay Pet Photography - Santa Monica, CA

Member since Nov 2020

As a passionate professional photographer with over 30 years of experience, my mission is to capture the unique bond between pets and their families. I specialize in photographing dogs and their humans, utilizing a candid photojournalistic style that highlights the genuine moments of joy and connection. Living in Santa Monica, California, I have the privilege of working in a picturesque setting, where I often shoot both indoors and outdoors using natural light. My focus is to create stunning visual stories that pet parents will cherish forever.

I am proud to have a strong connection with dogs, as my family includes three standard poodle therapy dogs, which enriches my understanding of animal behavior and emotions. I offer my services to a variety of pets, ensuring that every creature, whether furry, feathery, or scaly...feels comfortable in front of the camera. Additionally, I provide mobile services to meet you where you are, because I understand that "cat-astrophes" can happen, and I want to make this experience as seamless as possible for you.

Ready to capture those unforgettable moments with your beloved pets? My cancellation policy requires a 48-hour notice, ensuring that we can reschedule if needed. I look forward to working with you and creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Ready to get started? Book through Petworks today!
