Imagine this: Walking into your home and being greeted by a breathtaking portrait of your cherished dog. An exquisite piece that perfectly captures their spirit and the love you share. Picture yourself on a quiet evening, curled up on the couch, flipping through a luxurious album filled with every joyous wag and soulful glance that makes your heart feel full.

You and your dog deserve more than just fleeting snapshots buried in your camera roll. You deserve artwork as remarkable as the bond you share. Together, we’ll create an experience that’s as seamless and enjoyable as it is meaningful, resulting in bespoke art that will celebrate unforgettable moments with your best friend.


Your Session

The 3 Easy Steps to Stunning Artwork for Your Home

Step 1: The Pre-Session Consultation

We’ll start with a complimentary consultation, in person or via phone/Zoom. This is where you get to share all the little details about your dog. Every session is completely customized to fit your dog’s personality. Whether that means selecting a serene, quiet location for a shy pup or an open, playful spot for your high-energy adventurer.

We’ll also talk about how you envision your artwork—whether it’s a statement piece above your couch, a collection of framed prints for your hallway, or a luxurious album to revisit again and again. Don’t worry if you’re unsure—I’ll guide you every step of the way!

To secure your session, a non-refundable $250 reservation fee is required, which becomes a full product credit during your ordering session.


Step 2: The Session (A Day You’ll Never Forget)

This is where the magic happens. We’ll meet at a stunning location and I’ll capture the magic that is your dog. Their wagging tail, playful leaps, and soulful glances. Your dog will always come first, so we’ll take plenty of time for them to feel relaxed, with breaks for sniffing, exploring, and lots of belly rubs.

I’ll capture a mix of posed portraits, candid moments, and action shots—celebrating your dog’s unique personality in every frame. And for those who think their dog might be a bit too active or shy, don’t worry. Most dogs are on leash throughout the session (and the leashes are magically edited out in the final images!). This is all about having fun and capturing the joyful, unbreakable bond you share with your best friend.

Step 3: The Ordering Session (Bringing Your Portraits to Life)

This is where everything comes together. A week or so after our session, we’ll meet—either in person or via Zoom—to review the best images from our time together (typically 25-50 portraits). I’ll help you choose the ones you love the most and design the perfect artwork for your home.

I offer a wide array of stunning options—from traditional framed prints and albums to metal, canvas and acrylic options—ensuring there’s something to suit every style. I’ll guide you through the process, helping you select the ideal display pieces that perfectly suit your home and celebrate the bond you share.

Typically clients invest $1500 or more on their artwork, with product pricing starting at $599.

I can’t wait to help you bring your vision to life and create artwork that truly reflects the love and joy you share with your dog!

I can’t say enough about what a wonderful photographer Donna is. She instantly made our dog (and the humans!) feel comfortable. We treasure the beautiful artwork that she has created for us. Everyone who sees the photographs we have proudly displayed comments on how special the images are.

Donna’s love and understanding of our canine counterparts enables her to capture the very spirit of the furriest parts of a family. Seeing photos of them, through her lens, on our walls, is a daily joy.
