DOGS

Whether your dog is shy, reactive, or bursting with energy, I’ll customize each session to your dog’s needs.

Perfect manners aren’t required. These are all regular dogs on leashes, which I edited out.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • “I was worried that our dog would be too distracted by various things going on in Washington Park but Karen had some tricks up her sleeve for that.”

  • “We have never done anything like this before, but we had a great experience. Love the action shot she got for us too!”

Ever noticed the pet photos at your vet or groomer? There’s a good chance they’re mine.
My work hangs at Wellshire Animal Hospital, The Neighborhood Vets, Evans East Animal Hospital, Vida Veterinary Care in Denver and Centennial, and Ark’s Pet Grooming.

What to Expect at a Dog Photoshoot

Planning Session

We’ll plan the details of your photoshoot over Zoom. 

In our planning session, we’ll:

  • Select the best location for your pet and the season. I’ll share options I’ve scouted, from mountain views to city parks, and you’ll choose your favorite.
  • Answer any questions.
  • Set your photoshoot date.

Photoshoot

I’ll guide you through everything so your dog feels comfortable and confident.

Sessions last about 90 minutes and are relaxed and fun.

Ordering session

About two weeks later, we’ll meet in person to pick out your favorite images together.

You’ll get to look at samples, frame corners, and room mockups, so you can feel confident in your choices.

Final Artwork

When everything’s ready, I’ll double-check it and schedule a pickup time.

Do you have a dog and a cat?

Cats are included in your dog’s session fee. I can photograph them at home on the same day or dedicate a separate day just for them.
