Real connection. Real joy. The everyday magic of life with pets.
Portland Pet Photographer,
for the Life You Share With Your Pet
These photos are more than pictures. They’re a celebration of this life you share — the familiar walks, the couch cuddles, the little routines, and all the ways they’ve become part of your everyday. Here’s a glimpse of what it can look like to remember those moments in a way that feels like you.
From Our First Conversation to Artwork in Your Home
Every session is shaped around you and your pet — relaxed, pet-led, and centered on what actually matters to you. We'll start with a simple conversation about your life together, so your session feels personal and familiar from the very first moment.
From there, it's entirely paced by your pet — space for movement, pauses, and whatever the day calls for. No rushing, no forcing. Just time together, exactly as it is.
Afterward, you'll receive a gallery of 35 or so images — real moments from your time together — walked through in a custom video made just for you. From there, I'll help guide you through choosing your favorites and turning them into something lasting: custom-designed albums and wall art, tailored to what fits you and your home best.
All pets welcome
This is for the anxious ones, the reactive ones, the full-of-zoomies ones — the wild and the calm, the shy and the goofy. Whoever your pet is today, that's exactly who I'm here for. Every session is shaped around you and your pet.
How It Works
1 - Connect
We start with a simple conversation about your pets, your life together, and what feels most important to you right now. This helps shape a session that feels comfortable, personal, and true to you. Once you're ready, a $250 retainer holds your date and time, and becomes a credit towards your chosen collection.
2 - Create
Sessions are relaxed and flexible, with space for movement, pauses, and moments to unfold. Whether at home or on location, we follow your pet's lead and focus on the familiar rhythms of life together — usually for about an hour and a half, give or take, depending on what your pet needs that day.
3 - Remember
After your session, you'll receive a thoughtfully curated gallery of images that tell the story of your connection — the emotion, the details, and the everyday moments worth holding onto. Within about three weeks, we'll go through it together in a custom video, and find the wall art and album pieces that feel right for your home.
I'd love to hear about your pet, and what this season together means to you.
Curious about the details? Here’s what I get asked most, before someone reaches out.
What am I actually getting?
Every session is built around connection, not performance — a full, guided experience from our very first conversation to the moment you see your gallery. In-home, or at a location we choose together, sessions are designed to feel calm and joyful, always led by your pet. No sit-and-stay, no special training needed — just you, your pet, and space to be yourselves.
Afterward, you'll receive 35+ edited images in a gallery, along with a custom video walking you through it all. Collections — including matted prints and albums — start at $700.
But really, this isn't just another photo session. It's time set aside just for you and your pet, and something real to hold onto from this season together — a piece that reminds you, every day, of what they mean to you.
What if my pet can't sit still?
Maybe they're anxious around new people or new places, reactive to other dogs, easily distracted, has a good case of the zoomies, or just has zero interest in sitting pretty for a picture.
That's completely okay — really. There's no pressure to perform, or to be anything other than yourselves. We move at your pet's pace, and let the real moments happen on their own.
What about leashes and collars?
Your pet never needs to be off leash for a session. In-home, a leash usually isn't part of the picture at all. On-location, we'll use one wherever it makes sense for safety. If a leash or collar ends up in a few frames, that's okay too — it's part of the real, everyday feel we're going for, and we can always talk it through beforehand if you'd rather it not show.
Can my pup wear a harness?
Of course — safety and comfort always come first. A fun harness that brings out their personality? Even better.
How long is a session?
Sessions average up to about an hour and a half, though it really depends on your pet — sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. The day is paced by them, not the clock, and when they give the sign they're done, we're done. I want this to be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Can I be in the photos too?
Absolutely — all humans and pets are always welcome. You can be in as much or as little of the frame as you're comfortable with. We'll plan the session together with everyone's comfort in mind, so it feels like you, not a performance.
Do you photograph pets other than dogs?
Yes, absolutely — cats, rabbits, and other companion animals are always welcome here. If you're not sure whether your pet is the right fit, just reach out and we'll talk it through together.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions take place either in-home, or at a preselected location we decide on together — somewhere around Portland or the Pacific Northwest that feels right for you and your pet. We'll work together to find the best fit.
How much does it cost?
Once you decide to book, a $250 retainer holds your date and time — and it isn't just a booking fee, it becomes a credit toward whichever collection you fall in love with. Collections themselves start at $700.
Do you offer end-of-life sessions?
Yes. If you're navigating a pet's illness, aging, or end-of-life journey, this is work I care about deeply — I'm a certified Pet Loss Grief Specialist, and these sessions are held with extra care.
