simply put, i'm a photographer for pets and their people! i love working with humans who think of their dogs as children, and creating custom artwork to fill their homes with even more happiness: the kind of happiness your dog feels when you throw his favorite ball, or when he gets a puppuccino at the coffee drive-thru. check out my work below!

photography for people & pets

what i do

whether you’re looking for a fully guided, luxury experience or something simple and playful, there’s an option here designed to fit your family and your season of life.

and just to clarify… dogs are always welcome, but never required.

work with me

three ways to

The Signature Experience

a fully guided, custom portrait experience with artwork designed for your home.

simple Sessions

a streamlined session for those wanting beautiful images with a simpler approach.

styled mini
sessions

limited-time, custom styled miniature sessions offered throughout the year.

which session is right for me?

choose the signature experience if...

you want a fully guided, stress free experience from planning to final images

you appreciate a personalized approach, from planning through final delivery

you love the idea of creating artwork for your home, not just digital files

you appreciate having options for albums, wall art, and heirloom keepsakes

consider a simple Session if...

you prefer something quick and easy with minimal planning

you want a handful of beautiful images without a longer session

you want to capture this season without a big time commitment

you book multiple portrait sessions each year

you should genuinely like your photographer. the best photos come from real connection and comfort, and my goal is to create an experience that feels relaxed and enjoyable for everyone involved. i want you to feel completely yourself during our time together, whether we’re in your home or out on location.

if you value working with someone you actually enjoy being around, we’ll be a natural fit.

will we be a good fit?

photographs that
feel like you

i love clean, classic images, natural looking poses, and rich, true to life color. my goal is to create photos that feel timeless, not trendy. these are the images you’ll still love years from now, whether they’re hanging on your wall or pulled up on your phone to show off to friends.

more than anything, i want your photos to feel like you. the laughter, the connection, the quiet in-between moments, and the way your family naturally interacts all matter more than stiff poses or forced smiles. if you value images that feel genuine and emotionally meaningful, i'd be honored to work with you to capture this season of life for your family, no matter what that looks like.

flexible by design

every family’s needs look a little different, which is why my sessions are built with flexibility in mind. whether you’re looking for something simple and straightforward or a more fully guided experience, the approach stays the same: thoughtful planning, clear communication, and space to adapt as we go.

there’s no pressure to choose the “right” option up front, as there are always options to end your experience with exactly what you want in your hands. booking a session with files, but you want one piece of wall art? no problem! and if you're primarily seeking an album, you're still welcome to get the digital files, too!

real life, gently guided

kids have big feelings. dogs have their own agendas. adults don’t always love being in front of the camera (looking at you, dads). some of us are self- conscious and nervous about looking our best. all of that is expected here.

there may be a little playful pretending along the way: nothing stiff or forced, just enough to spark connection and movement. the goal isn’t perfection, but photographs that feel natural, honest, and true to your family.
