•Are you worried that your pets won't sit still?
•Concerned your dog has to stay on-leash?
•Not sure what artwork will work best in your home?
No training required. None! Your dog just has to be a dog.

Testimonials
My biggest fear was that our St. Bernard, Bo, wouldn't cooperate. Ann was so patient and prepared for everything. It went better than I could have ever imagined.
To be honest, we thought it might be weird to have a large portrait of our dog in our living room and an image box full of pictures of her. Guess what? It's not. We see them every day and it brings us joy. Lots of joy!
TASHA SHEA
Our family almost didn’t have the session with Ann. We are so glad we did. We lost our 13 year old lab Sam 4 weeks after our session and we would have missed out on the keepsakes we will cherish forever.

FAQs
Not at all! Some of my favorite portraits are of dogs standing up. And rest assured, I have a DEEP well of unique sounds and tasty treats to grab their attention-even if it's just for a split second while I capture each image.
Yes! Absolutely! Believe it or not, 95% of the dogs that I
photograph are on leash. Leashes not only keep your best pal safe, but they’re also important for following local laws when photographing in urban environments (but most sessions are at my outdoor studio). You'll never know the leash was there after I edit your images to perfection.
Sessions will be held at our outdoor studio-70 private acres, the Portrait Park. There are many stations set up specifically for dog photography. Your dog can be in front of a 100+ year old bridge, a barn wood wall, tin wall, by flowers, a gorgeous valley, by or in a blue ribbon trout stream (& so many more places).
The "problem" will be narrowing down the choices! But that is a good problem and I'm here to help you with that!
I completely understand; the world can be a scary place for all of us sometimes. Good news! Our 70 acre property is completely private. While I can’t control the squirrels or rabbits, I can assure you there won’t be any traffic or other dogs to cause your pet to get distracted more than normal.
My camera shutter speed goes all the way up to 1/8000 of a second—in other words, plenty fast enough to capture even the most active dog! Our sessions never require your dog to sit, stay and behave for hours (or even minutes) on end. One of the
benefits of hiring a pet-specific photographer is that I know how to work with “hyper” models and still deliver gorgeous images, jam-packed with personality.
Of course! I love documenting the wonderful connection between you and your dog. While we can certainly capture a traditional portrait of you both smiling at the camera, my clients especially love the candid images of the moments you share. If you're especially camera shy, I can still create some lovely, creative images that tell the story of your relationship. Trust me, it won't be as bad as you think! ;-)
At this time, people/pets images are only for outdoor sessions.
YES! Cats!! I love cats! Most cat sessions are in my studio. I have a wealth of cat toys, catnip spray, feathers...you name it!
The most magical light for photography happens during the “golden hour,” which is why I schedule most sessions during the last two hours of daylight. I have many different stations set up for you to choose from and they are all in the best locations with optimal light. Trust me, I spend days just walking around to look for the best dreamy light.
However, I can be a bit more flexible depending on the location and I also have lighting gear that helps give that special pop.
Studio sessions are more flexible, of course.
You value quality & want to celebrate your dog through stunning artwork
Your pet will be the main focus of the session (but you should also be included in some or many of the images!)
You want a photographer who also thinks your dog is awesome & will treat her/him with the utmost love & respect
