Capturing the love and personality of your furry family members

SERVING MENDOCINO COUNTY AND BEYOND

Pet Photography That Celebrates Your Best Friend

Our pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. They’re the ones who greet us at the door, curl up beside us after a long day, and bring endless laughter with their silly quirks. Each has a personality all their own — full of energy, loyalty, love, or sometimes just a little mischief.

That’s why I believe they deserve to be celebrated. Through photography, I can capture the moments that truly reflect who they are — the sparkle in their eyes, the wag of their tail, or the way they lean in for a cuddle. These are the details that make them unforgettable, and the ones you’ll want to remember for years to come.

When you look back at these portraits, my hope is that you don’t just see a beautiful photograph. I want you to feel your pet’s spirit, your bond, and the joy they bring to your life every single day. Because long after the moment has passed, these images become more than pictures — they become treasured reminders of the love you shared.

WOOF! I WANT THIS!

Pet Photography Sessions

Every pet has their own personality — some are playful and full of energy, while others are calm, gentle, or a little shy. During your session, my goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and at ease, so their true spirit shines through in the images.

I always take the time to get to know your pet before we begin. Whether that means offering treats, giving them space to sniff around, or letting them warm up at their own pace, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. Sessions are relaxed, flexible, and designed around your pet’s needs — no rushing, no stress.

We’ll capture a mix of portraits, candid moments, and action shots that highlight the little details you love most — the wag of their tail, the tilt of their head, or the way they curl up in your lap. And because pets are unpredictable (and that’s part of their charm!), I go with the flow to make sure every session feels natural and fun.

In the end, you’ll have a collection of beautiful, timeless images that not only celebrate your pet but also the bond you share together.

Investment

Every pet photography session is designed to create a meaningful experience for both you and your furry companion. My goal is to capture a mix of portraits, playful action shots, and candid moments that truly reflect your pet’s unique personality and the special bond you share.

After your session, you’ll have the opportunity to view a carefully curated gallery of images. From there, you can select from a variety of ways to enjoy your portraits—whether that’s through custom wall art, keepsake albums, or fine art prints to cherish for years to come.

These sessions aren’t just about photographs—they’re about creating memories, celebrating the joy your pet brings, and turning those fleeting moments into timeless artwork for your home.

Here’s how we’ll plan your session together. Just three simple steps to get started.

1

Consultation

We’ll start with a phone call or coffee meet-up to connect. This is where I get to know you, learn about your style, and hear your vision for the session.

2

PLANNING TOGETHER

Next, we’ll go over all the details — from choosing the perfect location to planning outfits and personal touches. This step ensures everything feels stress-free and tailored to you.

3

The Final Selection

After your session, we’ll meet again for your reveal and ordering appointment. Together, we’ll review your portraits and choose the perfect artwork for your home, whether it’s prints, albums, or statement pieces.

🐾✨Meet Ash Man: My Little Sidekick

If you’ve ever met me, you’ve probably heard me talk about my dog, Ash Man. He’s a rat terrier with a big personality packed into a small body, and he keeps life full of joy, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos.
Ash Man is more than just my pet — he’s my little sidekick. Whether I’m editing photos late at night, preparing for a session, or just out enjoying nature, he’s usually right by my side. Sometimes he’s patient enough to pose for me, and other times he’d rather chase after squirrels or my cats than sit still for a picture. Either way, he always manages to steal the spotlight when my camera comes out.
One of my favorite things about him is his expressive face — he can go from serious to silly in a heartbeat. Photographing him reminds me of why I love photography in the first place: to capture personalities, emotions, and the fleeting little moments that make life so special.
Ash Man might not know it, but he’s also part of my photography journey. He reminds me to pause, to play, and to find beauty in the everyday. And yes — he’s definitely convinced that treats are the only acceptable form of payment for modeling.
So, if you see a few dog photos pop up in between my weddings, portraits, and landscapes… now you know who’s to blame. 🐾 🐶🐱❤️
