Your chosen location will be one of the biggest factors in how your final images will look. But, we don’t just consider aesthetics, we also consider YOUR dog.

I have a love/hate relationship with Photoshop. It’s an incredible tool, but it’s also responsible for setting unrealistic standards—especially for women. We compare ourselves to computer-created perfection and feel, somehow… less than.

So here’s my take: Just because I CAN Photoshop something… doesn’t mean I WILL.

✨ Leash in the shot? Gone.
✨ Eye boogers? Erased.
✨ Distracting background clutter? Removed.
✨ The handful of treats in your pocket creating a weird lump? Consider it fixed.

But completely reshaping your body? Smoothing away every laugh line? Changing the way your dog really looks? That’s a different conversation.

What if your dog recently had surgery and has a shaved spot? Should I fill it in?
What about cataracts—do you want to see your dog exactly as they are, or as you remember them?

For me, if it’s temporary, I’ll touch it up. If it’s a permanent part of their story, I leave that decision up to you.

We take thousands of snapshots of our dogs—quick phone photos of zoomies, naps, and everyday antics. But what happens to them? Most sit buried in camera rolls, never printed, rarely revisited, and eventually forgotten.

That’s where professional pet photography makes all the difference. It’s not just about better equipment—it’s about intention, artistry, and creating images designed to last a lifetime.
