Photography exploring the unique nature of dogs with New England as our playground
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?

You Senior Dog
Your best fur friend is in their twilight years. Get photographed together
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

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.”
