Most of us have a smartphone these days and our camera roll is full of photos of our dogs (don't lie! I know you have tons of photos of them :P). Photos of them lounging with you, their cute smile looking up at you, zoomies, cute head-tilts, that time they stole your sandwich. They’re fun, and they capture them in the every day moments and they matter a lot—but they’re easy to lose in the noise. And when I ask why my clients want a professional pet photography session, the answer is rarely just about "getting nice photos”. It’s more than that.

It’s “I want to remember the way they look at me with complete trust.”
It’s “I want something I can see on the wall every day—a piece of them that stays with me.”
It’s “I want to remember this exact moment in time, because I know it won’t last forever.”

Dogs live in the moment. That’s part of what makes them such magical companions. But as their humans, we often realise—sometimes too late—that we wish we had something more tangible to hold onto from those moments.
