Arf & Wag

Arf & Wag Based in Valencia, Spain, we specialize in capturing unforgettable portraits of pups and the people who love them. The impact was immediate.

At Arf & Wag, we believe dogs aren’t just companions—they’re family. What began in 2019 in Sioux City, Iowa, as a heartfelt effort to support animal rescue organizations through professional photography has since evolved into a dedicated brand known for its artistry, warmth, and unmistakable love of dogs. Founder Michel, a photographer since 2006, launched Arf & Wag with a singular mission: to ele

vate the visibility of adoptable pets through beautiful, emotive imagery. By 2021, the success of that grassroots effort led to the opening of a full-service studio in Des Moines, Iowa, serving pet lovers and their four-legged companions across the region. Today, Arf & Wag operates out of Valencia, Spain, continuing its mission with an international lens. We specialize in refined, emotionally resonant portraits that highlight the unique character of each dog and the unspoken bond they share with their humans. From the cobbled streets of the city to the golden sands of the coast, every session is a celebration of connection, companionship, and unconditional love. Dogs remain our most loyal and inspiring clients—and we’re honored to tell their stories, one photograph at a time.

Big News from Arf & Wag Studio! 🐾✈️

Hey everyone, it’s Michel here!

You may have noticed we've been a little quiet over the past six months — and it’s true. After an incredible (and sometimes crazy!) journey, Dillon and I — along with our three pups and our cool cat — have officially settled into our new home here in beautiful Valencia, Spain. 🌞🇪🇸

We took the time we needed to find our footing, soak in the culture, and make sure our fur family was happy, healthy, and ready for this exciting new chapter.

Now... we’re back — and we’re bringing you with us!

Starting next week, I’m putting on my Meta shades 🕶️ and hitting the streets to meet amazing dogs (and their humans) around the world — capturing spontaneous, real-life moments full of heart, wagging tails, and unexpected magic.

We’ll be sharing these little adventures through our brand-new YouTube series, and trust me — you won't want to miss it!

From street corners to parks, beaches to hidden alleyways, I’m inviting you to come experience the joy, spirit, and connection that pets bring to every corner of the world. 🌎🐶🐾

Thank you all for your patience, your love, and your incredible support during this big move.
We’re so excited to start this new adventure together — one paw, one smile, one story at a time. 🐾✨

Much love,
Michel, Dillon, and the Arf & Wag Studio family

Seeing the state of these dog rescues in Valencia is heartbreaking. The city center—where I’ll be moving—has been spared by the recent flood, but the surrounding towns, where most shelters are, weren’t as lucky. As I prepare to arrive on Tuesday, I can’t stop thinking about how I can help these dogs in need. It’s clear there’s a lot of work ahead, and I’m eager to roll up my sleeves. 🐾
