Let’s be honest—dogs are our kids.
And for many of us these days, they are our kids—the closest thing we have to children, and the centre of our world. They fill our homes with personality, our routines with purpose, and our hearts with unconditional love.
Most families proudly frame photos of their children as they grow—marking milestones, personalities, and the little things that make them them. But what about the dog? The one who follows you from room to room. The one who makes you laugh, gets you outside, and knows exactly when you need a cuddle.
They deserve a place on the wall, too.
From slobbery kisses to soulful glances, every dog has a story worth preserving—and I'm here to help you tell it. My sessions are relaxed, heartfelt, and rooted in nature, designed to capture your dog just as they are: playful, loyal, curious, and completely themselves.
Whether we're wandering through golden fields or tucked into a cozy forest trail, I'll guide you through every step—from choosing the perfect location to designing custom artwork for your home. Every client recieves a personalized experience, beautifully edited gallery, and access to handcrafted keepsakes that turn fleeting moments into forever memories.
"Thank you Elizabeth for capturing the love and connection between my senior soul dog and I. I will cherish these pictures forever."
Absolutely! Most of the dogs I photograph aren't obedience champions—and that's totally okay. My sessions are relaxed, fun, and tailored to your dog's unique personality. Whether your pup is full of zoomies, shy, or still learning basic cues, we'll work with them as they are. Many of the magical moments I capture happen in between commands anyway.
Taken from the words of M.L Foreman, "A little rain never hurt anyone." And honestly? A bit of rain or fog can actually create some of the most magical, moody images. I won't cancel a session just because the sky isn't perfectly clear. That being said, if the weather is truly unsafe or uncomfortable—like heavy rain, lightning, blizzards, extreme cold, or high heat—we'll absolutely reschedule for a better day. Your dog's comfort and safety (and yours!) always comes first.
I'm based in Penetanguishene, Ontario, and I'm happy to travel up to 100km for sessions. If your chosen location is farther than that, a small travel fee will apply and be added to your session total. Let me know where you're dreaming of, and I'll help make it happen!
While I don't offer a separate package for end-of-life sessions, I understand how deeply meaningful those photos can be. If your dog is nearing the end of their journey, please reach out. I'll do my best to prioritize your session based on availability so we can capture those memories in time. It would still be one of my regular sessions—with all the love and care your pup deserves.
Of course! Your whole family—two-legged or four—is welcome to be part of the session. Whether it's just you and your dog, you and your partner, or the kids too, I love capturing the bond you all share. These photos are about celebrating your unique connection, however your family looks.
No problem at all—almost every dog you see in my portfolio was actually on leash! I remove leashes and collars in solo portrait and action shots during editing so that your dog looks free and fabulous.
For any photos where the leash stays in—like family or owner-and-dog shots—I ask that you bring a neutral-toned set (think black, brown, or grey) so everything looks clean, cohesive, and timeless. A neon leash and polka-dot collar might be fun for everyday walks, but not so much for artwork on your walls!
