What Makes it Special?

"Sit-Stay" Not Required

Your pet doesn’t need to pose perfectly to have incredible photos.  Whether they’re shy, bouncy, stubborn, or a little wild, I work patiently to capture their natural spirit.

The best portraits happen when they can simply be themselves.

Their Personality, Captured

When your pet feels safe and at ease, their true self shines. Through your personalized Signature Experience, their quirks, warmth, and spirit emerge naturally.

The result is soulful, timeless portraits that celebrate your bond and the love you share.

Art that Warms Your Heart & Home

A portrait like this becomes more than décor. It preserves the moments you never want to lose — the look in their eyes, the softness in their face, the warmth that fills your home.

Each piece is handcrafted to feel alive, a quiet tribute to the love and joy that shapes your life.

Your Perfect Session Location

Every pet has their happy place. We’ll choose a setting that brings out their personality and creates portraits that feel genuine and true to who they are.

Outdoor

For pets who light up in nature — where the light is golden, the air is fresh, and there’s room to play. Outdoor sessions capture joyful movement, freedom, and connection surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes. 

After talking about your vision, I’ll recommend one of my favourite locations, or a new custom location of your choosing.

In-Home

Perfect for cats, seniors, or pets who feel most at ease at home. These sessions capture the quiet beauty of everyday life — warmth, comfort, and connection. A mobile studio setup can also be brought along for a refined, polished look right in your own space.

 Both

Can’t choose? You don’t have to. Combine both settings for a complete story — outdoor adventure and peaceful moments at home, beautifully united as a cohesive fine-art collection.

For the PetsWho Don’t Sit Still

Worried your pet won’t sit still, stay put, or follow directions? You’re not alone — most of the animals you see in my portraits had their own ideas about how the session should go.

That’s part of the fun — and honestly, that’s how I prefer it. When your pet feels free to be themselves, that’s when their personality shines through, and that’s exactly what I love to capture.

And don’t worry — your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. Almost every animal you see on my website was photographed safely on leash, and I take care of removing any gear during expert retouching.

The result? Portraits that look natural, effortless, and full of personality — even if your best friend spent half the session exploring instead of posing.

The Full-Service Approach

You have enough to think about. That’s why my clients love my Signature Custom Experience — it’s refined, personal, and fully guided from start to finish. 

With my seamless full-service approach, every detail is handled for you — from planning to finished artwork — so you can simply enjoy your experience and look forward to seeing your pet’s personality come to life as timeless art for your home.

Here’s how it works:

  • STEP 1: Planning and Preparation

    Every great portrait begins with connection. Before your session, we’ll meet to design the perfect experience — completely tailored to you and your pet.

    Together, we’ll:

    • Get to know each other so everyone feels comfortable on Session Day

    • Define the creative vision for your portraits (I’ll guide you with thoughtful questions)

    • Select the ideal location

    • Discuss wardrobe and styling
    • Ensure you feel fully prepared and excited for what’s to come

  • STEP 2: Photography Session

    Think of this as a joyful 1-2 hour adventure, not a photoshoot. I’ll gently guide you and your pet so everything feels natural, fun, and effortless. No special training is required — and there’s absolutely no need for your pet to be off-leash.

    My goal is to capture your pet’s authentic personality, your bond, and the beautiful in-between moments that make your story unique.

  • STEP 3: Purchase Appointment

    A few days after your session, we’ll meet again to bring your vision to life. You’ll see a curated collection of your best images and choose your absolute favourites. I’ll help you make the tough decisions with to-scale wall mockups, so you can visualize exactly how each piece will look in your home. Together, we’ll design your custom-made fine art pieces — the perfect way to enjoy your portraits every day.

  • STEP 4: Artwork Delivery

    Within 4–6 weeks, your finished artwork will be ready — meticulously printed, framed, and prepared for your space. Whether you choose pickup or white-glove delivery, your new art will arrive ready to display and treasure for years to come.

How it Works

1. Connect

Contact me to get started. We’ll get to know each other and chat about what you’d like to create. If we’re a good fit, we’ll move on to the next step: Planning your custom session.

get in touch

2. Planning Meeting

We’ll meet in person to talk about your style, the colours in your home, and the feelings you want to feel when you experience your printed art every day. I’ll meet your dog to start to build trust with them. We’ll also chat about what to expect at the photo session, how to prepare, and what to wear.

3. Photo Session

We’ll take a 1-2 hour walk in nature, stopping along the way to create stunning portraits with different backgrounds. Expect a fun, relaxed, and stress-free time. No training or off-leash time is required. Most of the dogs I photograph stay on leash during their photo session and I edit them out of the photos afterwards.

4. Viewing and Ordering Appointment

A few days after your session, we’ll get together again to view the best images from your session. I’ll help you narrow it down to your absolute favourites. Together, we’ll design your custom wall art and/or album using to-scale mockups so you can envision exactly how it will look in your home. You’ll finalize your portrait order and submit payment.

5. Art Delivery

You’ll receive your artwork delivered directly to your home for you to enjoy forever.

Art That Lives Forever

For as long as humans have made art, we’ve celebrated the animals who share our lives — from ancient carvings to classical portraits, to the pieces that now hang in our own homes. Commissioning artwork of your pet isn’t a passing trend; it’s part of a timeless tradition of love, devotion, and storytelling.

When you see your finished piece, it’s more than beautiful. It captures something real—the bond that makes your life richer and more meaningful. It’s the kind of art you’ll never stop being glad you invested in.

A must-have! The quality of the photos is beyond words!

“A must-have! Sam made sure our cat Lofi was comfortable at all times. Without being pushy or overwhelming, she managed to get the photos we asked for and more! The quality of the photos is beyond words. While her work is an investment, we recommend a photography experience with Sam to all pet parents for memories that will last a lifetime and beyond.”

After your session, you’ll view the portraits and order your artwork.

  • Collections with both print and digital images start at $1,900 + tax
  • Portraits start at $300 + tax

Note: Every printed portrait you purchase comes with a matching digital file for sharing online. I don’t offer digital-only collections — these portraits are meant to be printed, displayed, and cherished for life.
