Frequently asked
QUESTIONS
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.
Most sessions are held at 70 Acre Wood (my private portrait park located between St. Charles & Chatfield, MN). Do you have an idea of a different spot? Hit me up and we'll chat about it.
I completely understand; the world can be a scary place for all of us sometimes. Good news! You might want to choose to have your session at 70 Acre Wood. It 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.
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! ;-)
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.
You want a full-service experience with a complete customizable session
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 a few of the images! You can even be blurry.)
You want a photographer who also thinks your dog is awesome & will treat her/him with the utmost love & respect

don't wait

it's too late
Yes, pet photography is a luxury—but it’s one that’s truly worth it. If you’re as obsessed with your dog as I think you are (you’ve read this far!), why wait until it’s too late?
Let’s capture some beautiful memories together—and don’t worry, there’ll be treats for everyone!
“Dogs’ lives are too short. Their only fault, really.”
—Agnes Sligh
