Outdoor Lifestyle Documentary Medium/Large Dog Photographer.

As a passionate dog photographer with 12+ years of photography experience, I specialize in capturing the unique personalities and soulful connections between you and your dogs.

My Pup & Me sessions are tailored for art-appreciating dog parents who value the everyday moments, bringing them to life through my documentary and lifestyle photography style. Sessions take place on location and outdoors, such as at a park, in a forest, or on a city sidewalk. With a commitment to warm, natural, and colorful editing, I craft images that highlight your dog's silly, lovable personality and turn memories into custom wall art.

QUOTES: Pup & Me collections begin at $1550, including 10 fully edited hi-res digital files and a $200 credit in the linked product store. A $550 deposit is requested to secure your date and time; options to upgrade to two other collections for more files & credit are available.

I am insured, highly organized, and calm, ensuring a seamless experience for both you and your fur babies. While I welcome dogs of all sizes, I have a particular fondness for medium- to large-sized dogs, rescue pups, bully breeds, and those with behavioral issues such as reactivity and anxiety. My dedication to the canine community extends beyond my sessions as I volunteer my photography services for adoption photos with foster dogs at California Bully Rescue in the San Francisco Bay Area.

How did you hone your craft?

I've been a branding & lifestyle photographer for 12+ years. After volunteering my services to a rescue group for a year, I realized how much I love doing outdoor documentary sessions. My sessions and style are formed from what I couldn't find: colorful, natural, soulful, documentary, and low-stress photo sessions.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Patience and learning how to read body language goes a long way in understanding dogs.

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

From personal experience with my own dog, it is absolutely possible to photograph dogs who have anxiety or reactivity. There may be a longer get-to-know-you period at the beginning of a session—but all dogs deserve to be loved, regardless of their history.
