Axel’s been at this a long time. You can see it in those steady eyes and that grey muzzle that’s quietly earned every story he carries.
He stood right beside his owner, laser-focused, waiting for his name like he’s done a hundred times before. He never even looked my way. He had a job to do.

Dogs like him stay with you.

Tell me about the dog in your life who’s been your steady one.

Your dog’s photo session is so much more than showing up and taking cute pictures. Before we ever start shooting, we’ll plan it all, from the location and vibe to how the final artwork will look in your home. Whether it’s a salty aired beach session, a day in the field, cozy studio portraits, or something completely unique to your life with your dog, we’ll make sure it fits you.

And if you’ve ever thought, “My dog doesn’t do anything special,” I promise you, he absolutely does. He’s your dog. You know every quirk, every marking, every little thing that makes him perfect. My job is to capture all of that and turn it into artwork you’ll treasure forever.

🎥 A quick peek from my trip to Norway with Luigi, a little guy with a big personality and an even bigger bond with his mom. Still so many sessions from that trip I can’t wait to share!

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like being a dog photographer… here’s Hazel with the reminder that it’s definitely not a clean job.

From the splash to the shake, every drop is worth it when you get to watch dogs doing exactly what they love.

Not every end of life session is for a senior dog. 💔
Sometimes it’s for a puppy like seven month old Jack Jack whose family had to say goodbye far too soon.

It’s incredible how much love these dogs bring into our lives in such a short time. I’m so honored I could capture moments of their family together before their final goodbye, memories they’ll be able to hold onto and see every single day.

Because every dog deserves to be remembered.

There’s just something about a silhouette portrait.
Even without faces, they tell everything—love, connection, and a moment that somehow feels timeless.
It’s not just a photograph—it’s a story frozen in golden light.

And when it’s displayed as artwork in your home?
It becomes the piece that stops everyone in their tracks.

The mountain tested us with rain, cold, and clouds that swallowed the summit. Some hikes are for the view, but this one, a four mile climb, was for the hero shot. Meet Alvin, the Flatcoat Retriever in training to be a real life rescue dog (Redningshundelev 🇳🇴). Watching him work was pure magic.

Norway still feels like a dream. What started as a joke in our monthly Google chat, “let’s go visit !”, somehow turned into daily WhatsApp threads, flight bookings, and the adventure of a lifetime.

Seven photographers, thirteen locations, thirty six incredible dog models, and one epic trip with my favorite pack of dog photographers.

We’ve been cheering each other on since meeting two years ago at Shutterhound in Las Vegas, swapping advice, business tips, and bad memes. Finally being together again, learning, creating, laughing (and occasionally crying) felt like the universe handed us the perfect creative recharge.

Our insanely talented host, Katie of , outdid herself by organizing everything from locations and dogs to meals and editing sessions, and somehow keeping us all alive in the process.

I came home inspired, humbled, and beyond grateful for the dogs, the friendships, the magic, and the reminder that dreams really can start with a joke in a group chat.

Stay tuned. Photos of all our amazing dog models are coming soon. For now, here’s a team shot from one of our many wild and wonderful excursions.

Big love to .la, , , , , and . So proud to be part of this powerhouse group of ladies and the amazing crew.

This isn’t just a photo, it’s a legacy piece.
Every hunter knows the pride of watching their dog work, the bond, the beauty, the heart in every retrieve.

Now imagine that moment captured forever
and hanging right above your desk.

Book your Hunt Session before the season slips away.
Because memories fade, but legacy lives on.

Turns out, every creature deserves its moment in the spotlight, fur, feathers, fins, or even a few extra whiskers.

When someone asked if I photograph other animals besides dogs, cats, and equine… well, let’s just say these two tiny models squeaked their way into the studio and absolutely stole the show.

Because around here, we believe all pets are art worthy. Whether they bark, meow, neigh, or squeak, their stories deserve to be told, too. 💙

There’s something magical about seeing a portrait bigger than life itself.

This fine art canvas of Zee, a stunning Chestnut Oldenburg, captures his strength, elegance, and grace in every detail. I love when a portrait transforms from pixels to presence, when it becomes that statement piece that draws you in each time you walk by. These are the moments that deserve more than a screen, they deserve a wall.

There’s nothing quite like unboxing a finished piece of wall art, that moment when a portrait transforms from pixels to something you can actually feel. This new framed metal print will hang proudly in my studio, and it’s a perfect reminder of why I love what I do.

Your dog (or horse!) deserves to be celebrated in a way that doesn’t live on a device or get buried in a drawer, but in your home, where you can see them every single day.

This stunning piece marks an exciting new addition to Crystal Coast Dog Photography… Equine Portraits. And who better to debut than this breathtaking Lipizzaner?
