Hot Tip – All those little details you love about your Soul Dog? They BELONG in a book!
Small works of art like the acrylic block print (available as an add-on to SoulDog book and wall art orders) help to remind you every day of the joy your Soul Dog brings to your life.

I never imagined the end product could look so perfect.
Very high quality work!

Not only did Gibson shine, but the photos of my husband are authentic to him and perfect captures of this slice of life.

It starts with a conversation.
During your initial consultation, I want to hear as much about you and your dog as you’d like to share. We can discuss all the details that go into telling their story, so any questions you have will be answered in this meeting. Consultations take place via Zoom.
When you decide to book your session I send a contract and invoice for your session fee via email.
We’re gonna hang out and make some art.
Sessions can take place just about anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. At home or in the wild, we go where our hearts are calling. If you’re not sure where you want to go yet, that’s ok. We work together to find the perfect spot where your dog will be happy to be doing the things they love.
A vision brought to life.
The first time you see the photos from your session is when we meet over Zoom to go through them together. I’ve taken the time to curate a collection that represents the vision of your Soul Dog’s story. You’ll be presented with artist recommendations (wall art and SoulDog book mockups), and by the end of the meeting, you’ll have selected how you want your story to come to life in print. You’ll pay for your artwork, and then the advanced editing and design process begins.
Your story in print.
The best day of all is the day you receive your finished, printed artwork. Some specialty items take a bit longer to create, so expect printed artwork to be ready between 4 and 6 weeks after your order has been paid in full and any designs have been approved. I check each item to be sure it looks beautiful, and then arrange for pickup or delivery of your finished order.
Some things you might be wondering about.
YES! No matter where you’re at in your journey with your dog, we can work together. I believe all dogs are Soul Dogs for the people who love them. One will never be like another, but that doesn’t mean they don’t hold their own special place in our hearts forever.
PLEASE be in photos with your dog. I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am to have booked TWO professional photo sessions with my Soul Dog before she died. The photos of us together, just being our wild selves, are some of my greatest treasures.
If you’re nervous about being in photos, I get it. It can feel awkward not knowing what to do, or what’s happening behind the camera. But here’s the thing. When you are with your dog, just being in the moment together, you are absolute magic. We’ll work together to create a fun, joyful, and stress-free experience for you and your dog. If anything awkward comes up, we take a break, regroup, do some zoomies, and continue living in the moment where you and your dog are in your beautiful light.
Afterwards, you’ll be so happy to have photos that show just how amazing you are with the dog you love.
That’s totally okay! Many of my sessions take place on leash in beautiful spaces. The safety of your dog is most important which is why I do leash removal in post-production. An at-home session is also an option if that’s where your dog is most comfortable.
This is a common concern of first time clients. We love our free-spirited dogs, but it makes it hard to capture their sweet faces when they are bouncing around so much. Luckily, I’m a professional photographer equipped with not only the proper equipment, but the knowledge to create beautiful portraits of even the wildest dogs. I’m also a free-spirited animal, so I’m always up for the challenge.
An untrained dog can still have beautiful photos taken. I do recommend that for your dog’s best interest and safety, you take some time to work on basic commands. There are many wonderful trainers in the greater Seattle area who can help you and your dog become a wonderful team.
I’m so very sorry for what you’re going through. Yes, it’s possible to book an emergency session. I encourage you to email and call me as soon as possible so that we can schedule a Legacy session for you and your dog.
The biggest difference between these session types is that a SoulDog in The Wild session takes place at a Washington State Park, and the session package includes a wall art piece. This is a great option if you’ve worked with me in the past, or if you have a favorite state park you’d love to have your dog photographed in, or if you just want to go explore a new place and would like to be a part of this fun project where I’m photographing dogs in all dog-friendly Washington State Parks.
A SoulDog Story session is custom – meaning we create an experience based on your needs, and the best opportunities to create art that honors your Soul Dog. This is the best session option if you want to focus on your Soul Dog’s story, your connection, and want a customized experience to bring your vision to life.
For SoulDog Story sessions, the $1290 session fee includes an artwork credit of $1000 that will be used toward your final artwork purchase (a SoulDog book, wall art or both). Depending on what we create together, you can expect to spend between $1800 – $8000 or more on artwork.
For a SoulDog in The Wild session, the $2500 package includes the session, one acrylic wall art piece (up to 20×30 inches), and a copy of the official SoulDog in The Wild Adventure map. You’ll be able to purchase more artwork too (and you’ll probably want to once you see what we create together in the wild).
Yes! I also love working with clients who would like to have their cats or horses photographed.
If you’re looking for a session to tell your cat’s or horse’s story, go ahead and book a consultation, and we’ll talk details!
