While my time in California once again comes to an end, I have a few fun photoshoots that need editing to look forward.
If you want a sneak peak, here is a little one that I photogrpahed just for the fun of it.

When you are very much loved...

Senior portraits are amongst my most favorite portraits to do.

It has been really hard to find the best moment to go outside and take photographs in this heat and humidity.

The trick is to find the cooler spots, make sure no long walks are involved, the car has air conditioning to cool down and you carry plenty of water.
Rhys was excited to go on a short adventure this morning while the sun was hiding and it sprinkled now and then.

Please keep a good eye on your animals while outside, overheating is a serious condition.

🐾 You Only Get So Many Summers 🐾
📍 One epic view. Three best friends. A moment frozen forever.

Your dog is your family. Your adventure buddy. The one who sees you at your best, your worst—and still thinks you’re a superhero.

But here’s the truth most of us don’t want to say out loud:
They’re not with us forever.

You can’t slow time,
…but you can capture it.

📸 At Petra Postma Photography, I create fine art portraits that tell your dog’s story. Whether it’s a senior greyhound soaking in the breeze or a wild-hearted pup on their first hike—your dog deserves to be remembered like this.

In the silence of shadow and stone, a survivor stands.
This is not just a portrait—it’s a testament to resilience.
Photographed at a forgotten fort, this Galgo Español carries the weight of history in every graceful step. Once discarded, now dignified.

🖤 Respect the space. Respect the dog. Always leashed. Always loved.

🐾 Jarita, looking radiant in the spring sun 🌞

About a year after her adoption through SAGE, I had the absolute joy of photographing her and her siblings during Greyhounds in Gettysburg.

It’s always something special to see adopted dogs again—not just because they’ve grown or changed, but because you can feel how they’ve settled into their new lives. Confidence, calm, curiosity… it shows in their eyes and posture. It’s the story of a rescue told in fur and sunlight.

✨ Don’t wait until “someday” to photograph your dog. These moments—of them thriving, exploring, and just being—are worth capturing. Regular portraits are a beautiful way to mark their journey and yours.

🐾 “The Look That Says Everything”
I ran into this little guy and his human at an event recently — and my heart skipped.

Not just because I fostered him for a short while…

But because that look he gave?
Pure love. Total trust.

Moments like this are why we foster. Why we rescue. Why we photograph.

📸 Every dog deserves a human to look at like this.

🌸 Welcome to the good life, Marea 🌸
This stunning galga just arrived from Spain last Tuesday, and she’s already posing like a pro among the blooming orchards of Adams County — Apple Country, USA.

Spring is officially here, and the colors are starting to pop. It’s the perfect time to capture your pup in a beautiful, natural setting. Whether your dog is a senior, a rescue, or a bouncy puppy, every moment is worth remembering.
