"For many years I had wanted high quality photos of my dog Poppy, but I don’t have the skills to take them, and it’s overwhelming to find a photographer who can. When I found Paws Up Photography I quickly decided this is it. Liz from Paws Up made the entire experience so positive and fun. Finally got the photos up on a wall and I smile everytime I look at them. I plan to use Paws Up Photography in the future with a new puppy and give Paws Up Photography the highest recommendation."

"Liz was so great to work with! We discussed the types of photos we were looking for beforehand and she was able to come up with different ways for us to get great solo shots of our pup as well as family shots! Liz coached us through everything and helped keep things fun for us. Our prints turned out beautifully and we highly recommend Paws Up for capturing beautiful images that will last a lifetime!"

If you're ready to book, let's do it! You can select a day and time, tell me a little more about yourself and your dog, and get your session scheduled. Or, if you'd like some guidance, schedule a call with me to talk about your dog and what you're hoping for. I'll walk you through the next steps and help you decide if we're a good fit.
This is a stress-free time. We'll let your pets lead the way and take plenty of breaks to let them explore. We'll move at their pace and let natural moments happen. That's usually when I end up getting the best shots!
After your session we'll meet again to go over a curated selection of your images and pick your favorites that showcase their personality and your connection. Together we'll design tangible artwork that you'll enjoy for years to come.
Every session is customized to you and your dog's personality and what they're comfortable with. There's no pressure to pose or do tricks and your dog can stay on leash the whole time. We'll move at your dog's pace to capture candid moments and let them truly shine.
I have experience working with all ages and sizes, from puppies to senior dogs and toy dogs to large breeds. I'll give you clear guidance to set us up for success so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
The result of our time together is a collection of curated, timeless memories that feel true to your dog and your connection with them.
Capture your dog's portrait forever in a gorgeous outdoor setting. Customize your session by focusing on features you love about your dog, poses or tricks you want to remember, and any type of print or product you want to display in your home. Get started by filling out a questionnaire to iron out all the details, then I'll send you everything you can expect from your photography session. During the session we'll have a ton of fun together capturing photos of your dogs, and afterwards we'll have a grand reveal where we look through all your photos together and chose which would look best in your home.

Let's make your session happen! Book your day and time, answer a few questions, and you'll be ready to go. I'm so excited to work with you and your pet!
 
Schedule a quick phone call with me to get all your questions answered. I'd be happy to go through what the experience is like for you and your dog.
My dog can’t be off-leash! Is that ok?
What about harnesses and gentle leaders, can those be removed?
Where should we have our session?
What if it rains? What if I need to reschedule?
Yes! Most of the dogs that I photograph remain on-leash throughout the entire session for their safety. I can even capture some action shots with a special long line... all while keeping your pup safe and sound! The leash is removed through the magic of Photoshop from any ordered image.
I can't guarantee that I will be able to remove the harness or gentle leaders from your final image, especially large harnesses that cover the majority of the dog’s chest. If your dog usually walks in a harness or a gentle leader, I recommend using those to walk them to the session and in between shooting locations, but if there is any way to have your dog in a regular flat collar that is ideal. If you have a sighthound, or other dog that can easily slip out of a flat collar, martingale collars are ok and preferred over harnesses.
The vast majority of my images are created on my own property! I live on 7 acres of private land, including grassy and wooded areas, and fenced in yards for extra security. If you have another location in mind I'm more than happy to shoot there, and I have a few other locations I can suggest as well to achieve the look you want.
We will try our best to hold our session at the agreed upon date and time, however sometimes Mother Nature has other plans and we will definitely reschedule. If you or our furry model is feeling under the weather, kindly let me know we need to reschedule as soon as you realize.
My Growing Up series is 4 signature sessions taken over a year with photo reveals all along the way and a beautiful custom 8" x 8" album included at the end.
This series is great for puppies and adolescents but also perfect for adult dogs if you want a variety of photos of them throughout the year and a keepsake album.
Because this series is a year of working together, I like to talk through the experience with you so we can customize it to fit your needs. First step is booking a call with me!
