Let’s create timeless portraits their true personality shines.
I am forever grateful for her amazing work.
“My dog Flash is no longer with me but the Wall Art Sam created of my boy puts a smile on my face every day. She was amazing with Flash and the artwork turned out better than I could have imagined. I am forever grateful for her amazing work.”
…a joyful, personality-packed portrait of your pet framed and hanging above your mantlepiece.
You can have meaningful, heartfelt, and show-stopping custom art that makes you smile every time you see it. The kind of piece that stirs emotion, warms your home, and becomes one of your most treasured keepsakes.
June 6-7 is your one opportunity to do it.
And these are my kiddos: Boo, Basil and Clémentine.
Real talk: Ask me to do an icebreaker and I’ll want to crawl into a hole and die.
But I LOVE connecting one-on-one with other “animal people”.
I’ve been a professional pet portrait photographer for over 6 years. I’m accredited in both canine and feline portraiture with the Professional Photographers of Canada, and I’ve won a number of international photography awards.
The end result of a photo session with me custom-designed artwork that represents your pets’ unique personality.
Your experience is fully customized based on your pet’s personality and your preferences. Here are the steps to creating your perfect art:
Your portrait session will take place in Ottawa on June 6 or 7.
Together, we’ll choose the best location for the session. It could be at one of my favourite outdoor locations, or in your home with my mobile studio setup. The exact location will be determined at our Planning Meeting.
Your session time will either be early morning (around 6 am), or early evening (around 7pm).

Absolutely – Almost every dog or cat I photograph outdoors has their leash on. With a touch of editing artistry, I seamlessly remove the leashes in post-production, leaving you with elegant, natural-looking portraits.
Safety is my top priority, and keeping your pet on-leash not only ensures their well-being but also helps us adhere to local leash laws and achieve the perfect seemingly-impossible poses.
No training is require whatsoever. Your photo session is a fun and relaxed, where your pet can just be themselves. If they’re a bit wild, even better. I love capturing all aspects of your pet’s personality to create images that reflect their true self.
I’ve photographed every kind of pet. From nervous cats, to deaf and blind senior dogs. No matter your pet’s level training or temperament, I’ll create beautiful portraits of them.
Almost always, yes.
Together, we’ll design a session that sets your pet up for success, ensuring they feel comfortable and confident. Usually, this involves choosing a familiar location, taking lots of time to help them feel comfortable, using a longer lens at the session to keep some distance, and reinforcing your pet’s bravery with plenty of treats and praise.
Since your session is custom-designed, I will ensure that everything is suited to fit your pet… not the other way around.
Whether your pet faces mobility limitations, sensory challenges, or just typical issues for senior pets, we’ll create a session that allows them to be themselves and have a great time.
I have a list of my favourite Ottawa locations, but we’ll choose your location together.
Before your photo session, we’ll have a Planning Meeting where we’ll talk about you and your pet, your style, and your vision for the portraits. This info will help us choose the best location for you.
Booking your session is easy! Fill out the form above and I’ll be in touch within 24 hours. We’ll go over the details, answer any questions you have, take payment for the Session Fee and secure your session in my calendar.
No, I’m only in Ottawa on June 6-7. No other days are available for sessions.
Absolutely – I highly encourage capturing moments of you together. Those photographs can be incredibly meaningful.
On the session day, I’ll create a variety of images for your to choose from. During your Ordering Appointment, you’ll choose and purchase only the photographs that you absolutely love. If for any reason you prefer not to purchase them, we will focus solely on your favourite portraits of your cat or dog.
Sam captured their personalities in stunning photos.
“Sam is a true animal lover and it totally shows in her interactions with my cats. She was able to capture their personalities in stunning photos. It was important to me that the photos be representative of who my cats are, and not just a picture or them. Her work is extremely professional and very high quality through and through. 10/10 would recommend!.”
