Embrace the magic

Fall in love with your dog all over again with portraits that tell the story of your connection, celebrating your adventures together throughout New England.

I photograph you with your soul dogs.

Yes, even the reactive ones. (Especially the reactive ones.)

Together, we create images in their safest, most joyful places,

every season, all year round

then frame some of that love for your wall.

Certified Dog Trainer Behind The Lens

Feel secure knowing that I have 11 years of experience working with dogs like yours.

Safe for Reactive Dogs

I respect your dog’s boundaries and can create beautiful photos from a distance.

Comfortable For Senior Dogs

We pick our location and activity with their comfort, joy, and abilities in mind.

Who are we going to photograph?

Watch the leash disappear.

I run a safety-first studio. Your dog will likely be on leash during their session.

Afterward, the leash disappears like magic from the images.

All you’ll see is you, your dog, and a gorgeous New England backdrop

"It was so fun and easy to work with Darlene, and our dogs loved her, too! The products and artwork are beautiful! Highly recommend booking a session."

Amanda and Crixus

Vineyard session

"I cannot begin to describe how wildly impressed and IN LOVE my husband and I are with Darlene and her art! She went above and beyond to take photos of our mini dachshund Walter. It was an overcast day and she showed up in full gear and a huge smile. Our pictures are out of this world. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU for an amazing time. You captured our little guy perfectly."

Bradley Palmer State Park session

"Darlene created a fun and easy photography experience with my dog. She quickly understood his demeanor and was able to work well with him. She was very hands on and able to get "down in the dirt" for a good photo. I was very pleased with the photographs she took and would definitely recommend her to anyone that was looking for a dog photographer."

Memory session

Meet Darlene

Certified dog trainer of 8 years. Lighthearted professional who gets dogs. Experienced guardian to a reactive, lovable drama queen.

My first glimpse of Kota in person was in the scratched and bitten arms of the volunteer who drove her from Arkansas. He handed her over and simply said, “Good luck.”
