Photographing Perfect Dogs
I don’t know when we decided that our dogs had to be perfect before we were worthy of having photographs of them.
Perfectly trained with perfect off leash manners…
Perfectly groomed & bathed with not a fur out of place…
I mean, I love my dogs freshly bathed and being perfectly behaved (you know, when they’re sleeping)—don’t get me wrong …
… but sometimes, in fact, MOST times my dogs are not perfect dogs – they are dogs.
They’ve rolled in something particularly disgusting at their last potty break before bed (Lira), or snarfed that last french fry right off my plate while running ON the table (Carolina), or just completely ignored me calling their name for 10 minutes because he’s BUSY (Mikey).
AND THAT’S OKAY.
Your Signature Session is built with your dogs being ACTUAL dogs in mind—
I’m not photographing perfect dogs…
… or stuffed animals…
… or only champion obedience dogs…
… or even dogs off leash.
I photograph dogs – imperfect dogs, stinky dogs that spent the first 10 minutes of our session rolling in a dead animal, dogs that only work for bribes (treats), silly dogs, wild dogs, happy dogs, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, show dogs, sports dogs, working dogs, your best friend dog, real perfectly LOVED dogs.
What does this mean for YOU?
You’re EXACTLY the type of person that I work with all the time and your dogs are exactly the types of dogs I want to work with.
Consider this your official free pass to enjoy your dogs exactly as they are, celebrate them exactly as they are, and STOP putting off scheduling your session.

Get in touch. I’d love to talk with you.
So true! I used to give my dogs baths on photo days, then I got old. Now it’s all about being real. haha
Hahaha I’d say starting off a session with a good spritz of “eau di dead animal” makes for even better memories of the experience…and at least the photos themselves won’t stink (see what I did there?!). Imperfect dogs are the best kind of dogs.
