Kirkland’s Fine Art Pet Photography studio- What to expect
Meet Olive & Fable- Fine art Pet Photography in Kirkland & Seattle’s eastside.
Hi! We are so glad you are here.
At Olive & Fable, we believe pets shape our lives in extraordinary ways. They are our quiet confidants, our daily joy, our truest family. And yet, time is a thief, it moves softly, taking moments we thought would last forever.
I’m Yunet, the eye behind the lens. Before becoming a full-time fine art photographer, I spent over a decade as a Doctor of Audiology. My career was built on listening deeply, and that same devotion to listening guides the way I tell each pet’s story.
I know what it means to love an animal with your whole heart, even knowing that love comes with inevitable heartbreak. That courage inspires everything I do.
With over 15 years of experience in fine art portraiture, I create museum-quality artwork designed to outlast the fleeting. Portraits that live on your walls, in albums, in your hands, proof against forgetting, anchors of love that defy time.
Because while time may change everything, it can never erase a bond preserved in art.
What to expect when you book your dream fine art session with us:
The Discovery Call
Our discovery call is the beginning of your portrait experience, a relaxed and welcoming conversation where we take time to learn about your companion’s personality, the little quirks that make them who they are, and the style of your home. This thoughtful exchange allows us to envision how their story can be told through fine art, ensuring that every detail, from the session itself to the artwork we create, feels seamless, collaborative, and true to their essence.
The Fine Art Session
Our fine art sessions are designed to be as memorable as the portraits themselves. Whether we’re creating in the elegance of our downtown Kirkland studio or embracing the beauty of the outdoors, each session flows at your pet’s pace. Lasting about two hours, it’s a relaxed and joyful experience where your companion leads the way, allowing us to capture their true spirit and the legacy they’re meant to leave behind.

Your gallery reveal is a truly special part of the experience. In the comfort of our downtown Kirkland studio, you’ll be welcomed with a cup of coffee or tea as we unveil the portraits from your session.
