It's Your Dog's Story

If you’re here, you’re probably a pet parent who loves their dog as much as I love mine. Yes, you likely have hundreds of photos on your phone, but those snapshots don’t always capture the real personality, the spirit, or the moments that take your breath away.

That’s where professional portraits come in. Carefully captured and thoughtfully edited, they reveal your dog’s true essence: the wild, the sweet, the goofy, and the soulful. These images aren’t just photos; they’re memories you can hold onto forever.

Every Dog Matters

No matter your dog’s personality—confident, reactive, shy, or anxious—I have the patience and expertise to capture them in their best light. Every dog deserves to be celebrated, and I’ll make sure their unique character shines in every photo.

Their time is fleeting, but photos keep their spirit alive forever.

I couldn't be more thrilled with the photos that Chantell captured of my pup! Not only did she perfectly capture my dog's personality, but the composition and quality were exceptional. Chantell is incredibly talented at working with animals and creating stunning portraits that speak to their character. The entire experience was seamless and professional. I highly recommend Chantell to anyone looking to get photography done, she is truly incredible at what she does.

Chantell is very friendly and professional. She knows where to get pictures with the best lighting and effects from natural surroundings. My dog can not be off-leash; she can edit your dog's leash! My photos are amazing! Both my pup and I had a great time!

- Karessa Bannerman
Chantell was amazing! So understanding, calm, and, most of all, confident in her abilities. My dog, Winston, is very happy but can be high-strung and energetic around new people. Chantell took the time to calm us (the pet parents), which in turn helped Winston "perform."

10/10 amazing! I’d highly recommend her for both people and pets, as the images she previewed were OUTSTANDING!

We had such a fantastic morning shooting with Chantell at Fish Creek Park! She did an amazing job photographing Rawlee. Chantell is incredibly creative, patient, detail-oriented, and truly passionate about dogs and their behavior.

Rawlee is very shy and timid, so I was worried it would be hard for anyone to capture good shots of him. However, Chantell was able to read his body language and interpret his behavior to create the most perfect images while keeping him engaged and comfortable.

Why Professional Photos?

While phone photos are convenient, they can't match the quality of a professional camera. I know how to capture your pet's best features with the right lighting, angles, and timing. Plus, my camera gives me high-resolution images, allowing for precise editing that phones can't achieve.

Check out the before-and-after to see how my editing brings out the best in your pet's photos.
