Take a peek behind the scenes...

Here's how I keep your dog safe while getting beautifully expressive images.

Most dogs don’t have perfect recall—especially when they’re somewhere new and exciting

Here's how it works. I keep your dog on my (very) long lead - letting them run, play, and fully express themselves—all while staying safe. But with a little magic (okay, a lot of careful retouching), that leash disappears, and your dog looks like they just strolled in off a magazine cover. 

And what if you have a horse who just can’t stand still? As a lifelong horse person, I know exactly how to work with your horse’s unique personality to get beautiful, natural images. I can even remove lead ropes or swap ears if needed.

Best of all? It’s all part of the service, these custom edits are built in to your experience.
