Dog Photograper in Honolulu, Hawaii & San Diego, California

Let’s face it, our furry friends are more like family. It’s no surprise that dog photography and pet sessions have become increasingly popular over the last few years. The time we get with our beloved pets just isn’t long enough. Much like children, our pets grow up far too quickly. Booking a professional photography session for your four-legged friend is a wonderful way to remember the bond you share forever.

Types of Dog Photography Sessions

Dogs, like their owners, have their own unique personalities. There are many different types of dog photography sessions you can book in order to capture their special personality. It’s important to me as a dog photographer that we create a session that really shows off who they are or captures a specific season in their life that you don’t want to forget.

Here are 5 Types of Dog Photography Sessions to consider:

Newborn Puppy Session

These are just as adorable as they sound! Just like a newborn baby, newborn puppies don’t stay this tiny forever. If your pup comes to you as a newborn and you want to remember and cherish every sweet little detail of this stage, a newborn puppy session is the right fit for you. If their mom or dad is also a member of the family, it’s so much fun to have their pictures made together!

Minimal Portrait Session

If you want a more timeless portrait of your dog to hang on your wall, a minimal indoor dog photography session may be just what you’re looking for. These sessions have the sole focus of making your dog the star of the show. I capture the beautiful details of your furry friend in a classic style that will never fade with time. These images are powerful and really showcase the soul of your dog.

Outdoor Dog Photography Session

Does your dog love spending time playing outdoors? An outdoor dog photography session is the perfect fit for your pup! These sessions let your four-legged be in their favorite place which helps them be more comfortable during the session. Outdoor sessions also provide beautiful lighting and natural surroundings that help to create stunning images of your dog.

Pups and Props Session

Want to add a little something extra to your dog photography session that makes it feel more unique? A prop session is the perfect solution. These sessions are so fun and really allow you to get creative in order to showcase you and your dog’s personality. I’m always open to hearing your ideas when it comes to a prop session for your dog and encourage you to have fun with it!

Family Dog Photography Session

There’s a reason dogs are called “man’s best friend.” Booking a family style session with your dog is a great way to commemorate your pal with the whole crew! These sessions are so special, and your dog always feels more relaxed when you’re close by. These are the kind of images you’ll cherish forever as you can look back and see how much you and your pup have grown and changed together over the years.
