Reserve Your Session Here

Your dog has been there for the everyday moments and the milestones alike.

The quiet companionship, unwavering loyalty, and unique personality that make them such an important part of your life deserve more than photographs left on a phone.

My approach to canine portraiture is thoughtful, natural, and tailored to your dog, creating imagery that reflects who they are and the bond you share.

My goal is to create honest artwork, photograph with patience and care, and preserve the moments that matter most. The result is artwork designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

If you really don’t like being in photos,

I Can change your mind

I promise.

“Can you photograph only my Dog?”

Yes, absolutely. But,

Some clients prefer portraits focused entirely on their dog, while others choose to step into a few images together. Both are equally welcome.

I do often encourage clients to consider being photographed alongside their dog, even briefly. The connection you share, the familiar routines, and the small everyday moments often become the images people treasure most over time.

And if being in front of the camera feels intimidating, you're not alone. My approach to posing, light, and composition is designed to create portraits that feel natural, comfortable, and flattering without feeling forced.

Whether your session centers on your dog alone or the relationship you share together, the experience will always be thoughtful, relaxed, and tailored to you both.

Which type of Canine Photography would you prefer?

  • A woman with long blonde hair wearing a red and black checkered shirt and black pants kneels on the grass with three dogs in a park with autumn-colored trees. One dog is a tan and gray mixed breed wearing a red checkered bandana, another is a black Labrador Retriever also in a red checkered bandana, and the third is a black dog that is sitting.

    Outdoor on Location

    Natural, relaxed portraits created in open fields, wooded trails, and meaningful locations that reflect the beauty of both dog and landscape.

  • A smiling woman with long dark hair sitting outdoors in autumn, holding a small brown curly-haired dog. Sunlight filters through trees with orange and yellow leaves in the background. They are sitting on a blanket, with a grassy area in the foreground.

    Senior Portraits

    A personalized portrait experience created to celebrate your senior year while including the dog who has been part of the journey along the way. For more information on Senior Portraits click here.

“My dog can’t be off lead…”

That’s completely okay. Most dogs are not photographed off lead during sessions.

Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, and unless we are working in a fully secure space, they remain safely guided throughout the session.

I use subtle, unobtrusive handling to keep your dog supported while ensuring the focus stays on them. Any necessary elements can then be carefully removed during the finishing process.

There is often more happening behind the scenes than appears in the final portrait, but the artwork is created to feel natural, relaxed, and seamless.

How it Works

  • A dog with a short coat featuring white and brown markings standing on rocky terrain in a wooded area, looking to the left with blurred green foliage background.

    Step 1: Reserve Your Session

    A limited number of sessions are accepted each month to ensure every client receives a highly personalized experience from planning through final artwork.

    Once your session is reserved, we’ll begin designing your portrait experience together. From location selection and wardrobe guidance to understanding the relationship you share with your horse, every detail is approached with intention and care.

  • A brown Labrador Retriever dog wearing a life vest wading through a shallow river, with a background of green foliage.

    Step 2: Planning & Preparation

    Before your session, we’ll discuss the overall vision for your portraits, including location, styling, timing, and the atmosphere you’re drawn to most.

    Whether your session takes place in open fields, wooded trails, at the barn, or in a carefully chosen outdoor setting, the goal is to create imagery that feels refined, natural, and personal to you.

    You’ll also receive preparation guidance to help you feel relaxed and fully prepared before session day arrives.

  • A black and white spotted dog sitting on a fallen log in a forest with tall trees and dense foliage in the background.

    Step 3: Your Portrait Session

    Your session is designed to feel calm, natural, and unhurried.

    Working in carefully selected outdoor locations and natural light, I’ll guide you through the experience while allowing space for genuine interaction and connection to unfold naturally. The result is imagery that feels refined, emotional, and deeply personal without appearing overly posed.

  • A black dog, possibly a Labrador Retriever, outdoors during sunset, gazing into the distance against a backdrop of blurred, warm-colored bokeh lights.

    Step 4: Artful Retouching

    Following your session, your portraits are carefully reviewed and individually refined by hand.

    Each image receives thoughtful attention to color, light, composition, and detail while preserving the natural feeling of the moment itself. The editing process is designed to enhance the artwork without overwhelming it, creating portraits that feel timeless rather than trend-driven.

    Your finished gallery is typically ready within several weeks of your session.

  • A cute brown curly-haired dog, possibly a Labradoodle, sitting on a grassy surface with a blurred brown and green background.

    Step 5: Your Viewing Appointment

    Once your gallery is complete, we’ll meet for a personalized viewing and ordering appointment.

    This is where you’ll see your portraits for the first time and select the artwork that feels most meaningful for your home. I’ll guide you through wall art, framed pieces, albums, and fine art print options while helping you choose sizes and arrangements that fit your space beautifully.

    The experience is designed to feel approachable, collaborative, and tailored entirely to you.

  • Black and white speckled dog sitting on grass in front of a blurred natural background with orange berries and branches.

    Step 6: Artwork Designed to Last

    Your finished artwork is produced through a professional print lab using archival materials selected for both beauty and longevity.

    From framed wall art to fine art prints and heirloom albums, each piece is created to live beyond the screen and become part of your everyday surroundings for years to come.

    There is something entirely different about seeing these moments exist physically within your home, where they can be revisited long after the session itself has passed.

Here what others say:

  • A girl with long hair wearing a pink headband and a knitted pink shawl sitting on a rock and hugging a large tan dog with a brindle face, in a forest during daytime with trees and sunlight filtering through leaves.

    We had an absolutely exceptional experience working with Tricia

    “Tricia is not just a photographer; she offers a fully customized, high-end experience and genuinely cares about her clients and their stories. If you’re looking for someone who will bring your vision to life with exceptional care and craftsmanship, I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

  • A yellow Labrador retriever standing in an autumnal park at sunset, surrounded by fallen leaves and orange foliage.

    Her skill, creativity, and genuine love for her craft are unmatched.

    What impressed me the most was Tricia's patience and dedication. She took the time to get the perfect shots, never rushing the process and always ensuring that Riley was comfortable and engaged. Her expertise in working with animals was clear, and it made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

  • Small black and white dog standing on sandy pathway between dunes with grass, facing away, during sunset or sunrise

    I couldn’t believe the quality of the photos, just perfection.

    Unbelievably talented photographer! Tricia was the nicest, so calm, and patient with our little pup Ranger. I couldn’t believe the quality of the photos, just perfection. Ranger was on a collar and a leash, and she magically made him look like he was a free roaming pup! Just excellence. Thank you so much for the lifelong memories!

During your viewing session, I will present select images as artwork mockups, helping you visualize different presentation styles and explore what resonates most with your space and aesthetic.

From size and presentation to frame style, matting, and glass selection, every detail is chosen with care to create a finished piece that reflects your style and complements your home beautifully.

The result is more than a photograph. It is a lasting piece of artwork that celebrates the bond you share and preserves it for years to come.
