"Her steps are slower, her muzzle gray, But our love never fades away.
Each passing year is a gift we two share, This amazing love that's beyond compare."
It never seems fair that such wonderful, loving souls don't age alongside us. Yet, knowing this never stops us from welcoming them into our hearts and homes. We love our dogs with everything we have, even knowing their time with us is far too short.
Capturing those fleeting moments - whether from their playful puppy days or the gentle grace of their senior years is a joy and privilege for me. I find so much fulfilment in helping you preserve these memories with artwork that will warm your heart for a lifetime.
Perhaps you'll hang it over the cabinet they once chewed as a puppy. You were so upset at the time, but now those tiny teeth marks hold years of memories. And if given a chance, you'd let them chew it again - just to relive those beautiful, messy moments.
Let's create Artwork with those Beautiful Memories
Your Photographer - "Jo"
Friends know me as Jo. I'm an outdoors enthusiast who revels in rolling around with dogs in the grass, unbothered by a little dirt. With a wealth of experience in animal care, including years in a veterinary clinic and over a decade running a dog-walking business, dogs are the heartbeat of my world. I understand their quirks and unique personalities! I'm also a tech nerd, happily losing myself in hours of photo editing and learning new software fueled by chocolate and coffee.
When I discovered my passion for pet photography, I knew I had found my purpose. I've poured my heart and resources into honing my craft, investing in top-tier camera gear, and pursuing specialized education in pet photography, which has provided me with the skills to capture your pet's unique personality! I'm thrilled my photography has received recognition in numerous international pet photography competitions.
Let's work together to create beautiful artwork pieces your pet knowing you'll have tangible lasting memories to enjoy for years to come.
You'll complete the contact form on my website. We'll talk about what type of session you are looking for and I'll want to know more about your pet.
We'll also discuss what you are interested in terms of artwork.
We'll book the session location and dates.
And I'll email you out your session invoice and all the information you'll need
Session
We'll meet up for your session at our pre-determined time and location.
Most sessions except for the Limited Edition sessions run an hour to an hour and a half. I always take the time necessary to capture those beautiful images you're looking for.
Dogs quicky learn when they've done a great job of posing as there are often lots of cheers and treats involved.
It turns out getting your photo taken can be a heck of a lot of fun!
Ordering
Once your photos are ready we'll set up a viewing (through zoom) and ordering session! This is exciting as it's the first time you'll see the images we captured - bring Kleenex!
Once we've determined what artwork you will be ordering I'll finialize each image and they'll be sent to the lab.
Your artwork typically takes and few weeks and I'll call you to let you know when it's ready to be delivered!
This is such an exciting day!
