Chicago Pet Photography
Why pet photography?
​
If you're like me, it can be hard to explain just how much your dog means to you. Your dog is everything. Your family, best friend, sidekick, personal comedian, and emotional support. They are love; eagerly greeting us when we get home and faithfully by our sides when we need them most.
​
Words can't describe the love we feel for them; pictures can.
​
Celebrate their lives and love. Whether you want to document your puppy's first year of life, create a lasting memory with your longtime companion before you say goodbye, or if you have something unique and creative in mind, I can't wait to help capture timeless shots of your best four-legged friend.
Wow John! Thanks so much these are AMAZING! You just made our night! We are looking at the pictures you took and loving them and cracking up at their personalities too!

How do photo sessions work?
​
-
I like to keep sessions as easy and spontaneous as possible, starting in the home (where your pet is most familiar), and, if desired, venturing outside, to a local dog park or other familiar location. Most important is spending time doing what your pet LOVES.
-
I use natural available light as often as possible so there’s no distraction from a flash or unfamiliar lighting rigs. It’s just me and my camera.
-
If you want portrait shots of your pet, I have a home studio where we can take photos with a variety of light and backdrop options.
-
A few weeks after your session, you’ll have the chance to preview all your images, and select your favorites for final editing
-
Plenty of treats and belly rubs included
