Pets as family

Pets are members of our families and mean the world to us. Pets enrich our lives deeply, and, just like their humans, can be honored and remembered for generations through portraiture. I capture an animal’s personality with a thoughtful and fun photo session that goes beyond the snapshot. After meeting and spending some time getting to know you and your pet, I take plenty of pictures at play and at rest. The best images are then post-processed for a timeless quality. Finished prints are archival grade and guaranteed to last a lifetime.

 
 
 

Incorporating surroundings

Animal portraits may include the landscape of his or her natural habitat. Environmental portraits lend a sense of place, and show a day in the life of your loved one’s life story.

In studio

When a more formal portrait is desired, sessions are available at my photography studio in Livermore. The main considerations are an animal’s size and demeanor.

 
 

Pet portrait sessions begin at $300 and include two finished prints. Additional prints and digital files are also available. If interested in booking a pet portrait session, kindly contact me for additional information. I would be glad to work with you and your dog, bird, horse, hedgehog, cat, cow, sheep or any other furry family member.
