Because They’re Not Just a Pet—They’re Family

Do you have a joyful wigglebutt at your feet, or a precious face hanging over the stall door? Let’s celebrate your four-legged family members—the ones who fill your days with love and laughter—with a custom pet photography session.

Honor the joy your dog brings to your life with a photo session - just for them.

Celebrate her with a custom equine photography session.


Your pet is a masterpiece, let's celebrate them as such.

Your pet deserves to be remembered as the work of art they are. A few weeks after your session, we’ll connect via Zoom for your Purchase Appointment to view your final images and choose from fine art wall pieces, heirloom albums, or classic prints. Every purchase includes digital files—perfect for sharing alongside your beautiful keepsakes. I’ll handle the rest, and your custom order will arrive at your door. Tap the orange button below to explore what’s possible.

We're blushing. Over 60 5-star reviews on Google.

"There are not enough words in any language to describe how magical and perfect our session and photos with Valerie are! You can see her joy, enthusiasm and love for what she does both at your session and in the photos."- Julie S.

"It is always an exceptional experience working with Valerie! Her photos capture so many feelings and emotions of our cherished furry family members." - Laurie Y.

"Valerie has an amazing gift of being able to capture the emotional connection I share with my pony. Her keen use of natural light create a finished portrait that is gallery quality. The fact that she is so very kind and patient makes the whole portrait experience for both human and animal very special - and fun!" -Joanne M.

All breeds & energy levels are welcome.

Let your pet be perfectly themselves. You don’t need a “beautifully trained” pet, you just need YOUR pet. We don't love them because they have impecable manners, we cherish them for exactly who they are.
