Social Pet Photography with a mission - Tempe, AZ

Member since Jul 2020

Progress Through Photography is the only social Pet Photography service in Arizona.

As a social entrepreneurship, 25% of all revenues generated by photoshoots, artwork sales and workshops will go directly to one our partner charities - receipts will be provided. In the future I hope to increase these percentage further.
With the funds that Progress Through Photography raises, we seek to make an impact in two major areas:

1. Actively address the root cause of animal homelessness in Arizona:
By advocating / lobbying with state political leaders for a ban on commercial pet sales in Arizona.
By advocating / lobbying with state political leaders for strengthening the law regarding pet abandonment.
By supporting financially challenged pet owners by reducing cost of pet care.

2. Support the dog & cat shelters that care for homeless animals through adoption programs, food bank support and other shelter services.

Please help make a difference and plan your next pet portrait session with us !
