Many of the pets I photograph remain on-leash for their entire session, whether in the studio or outdoors. Safety always comes first, and leashes give both you and your pet comfort and security. The best part? With professional editing, leashes are seamlessly removed from your final images, leaving only timeless, natural portraits that reflect your pet’s true spirit.

No worries, I've worked with pets of all personalities. I use gentle techniques and plenty of patience to help even the most reserved pets relax. We can take breaks as needed until your pet feels more at ease, ensuring we capture authentic moments without stress.

Yes! We highly recommend you take part in the photo session. Absolutely, and we highly encourage it. These portraits are just as much about the bond you share as they are about your pet. Even when people feel hesitant at first, they often realize how deeply they would regret not having images of themselves with their beloved companion.

Phone snapshots rarely capture that connection, they miss the way you look at each other, the quiet gestures, the moments in between. Professional portraits preserve those details beautifully, giving you artwork that tells the full story of your love.

For our outdoor sessions we typically photograph in beautiful locations such as local parks, nature trails, or vibrant cityscapes that showcase your pet’s personality. I’ll share a curated list of favorite spots during our planning call, but I’m always happy to collaborate on a location that feels meaningful to you, whether it’s somewhere familiar or a unique setting of your choice.

Our Studio sessions take place in our dedicated fine art photography studio in downtown Kirkland, where every detail is designed to create timeless, painterly portraits.

Every family’s story is unique, and so is every artwork collection. Some clients choose a single framed portrait to honor their companion, while others invest in a full gallery wall or handcrafted album to preserve their story in depth.

Digital collections begin at $740 and printed heirloom artwork begins at $590. On average, most families invest between $1200–$3400, depending on the pieces they select. Because of our à la carte approach, your investment is always flexible and guided by what resonates most with your heart and your home.

We do offer digital packages, and every piece of printed heirloom artwork also comes with the matching digital file for sharing and safekeeping. That said, we strongly encourage our clients to experience the difference of printed art.

Digital images live on screens, but printed artwork transforms your pet’s story into something you can hold, display, and treasure every day. Albums, wall art, and fine art prints become heirlooms, lasting reminders of a bond that deserves more than to live in a folder or cloud.
