Pets & their people
for couples, families, and fur-children
When you're with your pet, nothing else matters,
they just have that way with us, and it's beautiful!
Many of us aren't keen on being in front of the camera, and the idea of booking a photographer to take images of us makes us feel a little awkward.
But, what if your gallery wasn't really of YOU. . .
What if it was actually celebrating playful interactions, the joy that they bring to your life, and the completely irreplaceable connection?
I always encourage owners to involve themselves in at least a handful of portraits, even if they're not keen, because when you're interacting and relaxed, we professionals know how to capture something that's more than 'say cheese' and it's those moments that don't grace your camera roll 'full of dog pictures' - these are the REAL moments you remember with your fur-children.
Whether it's an intimate horse and owner session, an informal engagement or couples shoot with your dog, maternity portraits with your pet, celebrating your growing family , extended family photography, children with their pets, or simply creating a lasting legacy portrait for your best friend, I adore observing the love that exists in these relationships and creating something beautiful to honor it.
Worried about the dog messing up your hair or the kids running riot? I got you.
Bring me the unruly, the wildchild, the misunderstood - I have all the tricks so they don't need to perform, and my detailed portrait editing is your all-in-one digital stain remover & makeup retoucher - so you can just enjoy being perfectly imperfect!
Do your children have an inseparable bond with your family dog?
I believe that our dogs are often our FIRST TRUE LOVE - unconditional, non-judgemental, through the laughter and the tears,
They might steal your snacks, but also your heart.
[I know this more than most. My own childhood springer spaniels were my constants — my comfort and my closest companions through some of my hardest years. The portraits I never had of them are the ones I wish for most. That is the entire reason I do this work.]
