Linda says…
“Amanda outdid herself with individual portraits of each puppy plus captured the nearly impossible group shots… I cannot recommend using a professional pet photographer enough over just a regular photographer… These portraits are a special treasure of their first days as part of our larger pack.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely! No matter how wiggly, wild, or wary your pup may be, I promise we’ll capture beautiful images you’ll love.
My sessions are stress-free and completely tailored to your dog’s personality—whether that means capturing high-speed zoomies or giving a nervous pup plenty of space to relax. I use fast shutter speeds for the busiest bodies and a long lens for those who prefer a little distance.
There’s no pressure for your dog to “behave” or pose perfectly. The best photos come from letting them be themselves—that’s where the magic (and personality) happens!
-
Absolutely! Your dog’s safety is my top priority, and most of the dogs I photograph stay on-leash during their session. The best part? I remove leashes during editing, so the final images look just as beautiful and natural as if they were roaming free.
You can see a before and after example of an on-leash dog here!
-
Of course! The love you share with your pet is what makes these photos so special. I encourage you to hop in for a few shots—we’ll capture those sweet, in-between moments that mean the most.
During our planning session, we’ll chat about who will be in the photos. Just keep in mind that my focus is always on the pets, so while you’re welcome to join in, this won’t be a traditional family portrait session.
