Pet Photography

It’s a dog’s world and we’re just living in it!

Your dog is everything—and I get that, because mine is too.

With over 20 years of experience working with animals, including nearly a decade in vet med and over ten years in rescue, I bring a level of understanding to pet photography that goes far beyond knowing how to get a dog to sit. I read body language, adjust to each dog's needs, and know how to create a calm, low-pressure environment—whether we’re in the studio, at your home, or out exploring the city.

As a creative, industry-trusted pet photographer based in Los Angeles, I’m known for capturing vibrant, expressive images that reflect your dog’s real personality—not some overly posed version of them. These sessions are fun, relaxed, and tailored to your dog’s comfort. The result? Timeless, high-quality photos that celebrate who they truly are.

If you're looking for someone who gets it, who understands your dog, you're in the right place.

I can't wait to work together!

My calendar is fully booked for new private clients through the end of 2025. You’re still welcome to inquire, and I’ll get back to you if any availability opens up. If you have a senior dog or a pet with health concerns, please reach out—I’ll always do my best to make room for urgent sessions. For everyone else, join my newsletter to be the first to know when next year’s spots are released.

The Process

The process to get started is simple! If you have any questions, contact me and I'll be happy to help.

Step One

Complete my inquiry form.

Let’s get to know each other! Tell me about your pet(s) and photo needs. If you have a specific vision in mind, let me know and I can create a bespoke session.

Step Two

Let the planning begin!

You’ll receive more detailed information about the process, and we can plan via email or a call. Whether at my studio in Silverlake, at your home, or somewhere in LA, we’ll pick the perfect location to help your pet’s personality shine.

Step Three

Be yourself and enjoy the time with your pet.

The photoshoot is meant to be fun! Don’t stress if they’re not on perfect behavior (see my FAQs for more information), and check out my blog for some info on sessions and planning.

Step Four

Pick your pics!

Within 3-4 weeks of your session, you’ll receive an album of selections to choose from. Now for the tough part: choosing your favorites! Once you're ready, I’ll retouch and deliver your wall art, albums, or digital images within 4-6 weeks.

Dog photography sessions can take place in my Silverlake studio OR in the great outdoors!

Note: prices and packages listed below are for private sessions. Images can’t be used for commercial / promotional purposes without permission and proper licensing. To book in for commercial photography, please visit my Commercial Photo page.

Studio Session

My studio feels like a cozy home, so dogs of every temperament can relax and just be themselves. Each session flows at your dog’s pace—whether that means a quick pose or a goofy zoomie break. We’ll mix in lights, different colored backdrops, and fun props to bring out their personality. By the end, you’ll have vibrant artwork of your dog that makes your walls (and heart) happier. If you have a vision in mind for some cool art you want to create, even better! I'm down to get as creative as you want.

Outdoor Session

Outdoor sessions are all about adventure and capturing your dog in their element. Whether it’s at your home, a favorite park, or another location that fits your vibe, we’ll choose a spot that matches your pet’s energy, attention, and reactivity levels. The session moves at their pace, keeping things fun and stress-free while we explore together. In the end, you’ll have stunning wall art or a full album that tells the story of the entire experience.

“It’s clear that Sarah has found her calling. In addition to being a technically skilled photographer, her adoration of and love for her subjects is unmistakeable. I’ve only met Sarah once, but I would trust her with my dog in front of the camera and behind the scenes. The results of my dog’s photo shoot are stunning.”

Frequently asked questions

I am quite confident in my ability to connect with dogs, even if they’re nervous. While I have start times listed on my shoots, if your dog needs a little extra time to warm up, I’m happy to do whatever it takes. We’ll go through a few introductory exercises to help them get used to the camera, especially rescue dogs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments, so please reach out even if this describes your pet’s situation.

Depending on your pet and preference, we can shoot in your home or somewhere around Los Angeles. I have a variety of locations I love using around the city, but I’m always down to explore somewhere new! Let me know the type of area you’re interested in, and we can find a location that works best for you. Once you book, I’ll send over a list of locations that could work for a session.

I prefer shooting early in the morning or closer to sundown as it’s best for natural light. Depending on the time of year, location, and weather, actual times may vary. Usually clients choose the later option, which is within a few hours of sunset, but we can schedule sunrise photos if you’re an early riser.

Show off your photos!

After your shoot, you’re going to want to display your favorite photos of your furry family members! I can work with you to create stunning pieces of artwork to adorn every room of your home. Options include:

Acrylic blocks - Perfect to display around your home (mounted on 1” plexiglass)

Metal prints - Waterproof, scratch-resistant aluminum prints that last forever (excellent statement piece)

Canvases - Printed directly on canvas, with museum-quality archival inks

Albums - Handcrafted albums with five-page spreads so you can peruse them any time

Gallery Collections - Wall groupings for a statement wall (choose from pre-designed options or create a bespoke layout perfectly suited to your space)
