What Clients are Saying:

Debra B.

1 / 2

"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."

1. Book or Reach Out


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.

2. Your Session


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!

3. The Images


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.

Why Chose Pet Photography?

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.

FAQ

My dog can’t be off-leash! Is that ok?

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.

What about harnesses and gentle leaders, can those be removed?

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.

Where should we have our session?

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.

What if it rains? What if I need to reschedule?

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.

bringing a new puppy home?


Capture them growing up right before your eyes!



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!

Booking fee:

$2,900

Includes:

  • 4x 45 minute photography sessions throughout the year (1 approximately every 3 months)
  • $500 product credit on orders over $1000
  • 4x grand photo reveal sessions throughout the year to chose album images, prints, and products to fit your home (approximately 2 weeks after each photo session)
  • 1x 8" x 8" custom lay flat photo album with 15 images of your choice and all digital files of photos in album (à la carte price $2,000)



More than just a pet, your dogs are part of the family. Let's make memories of them last forever.
