Get To Know Your Pet Photographer
Dog mom, animal lover and photographer to The Best Dogs EVER!
Hi, I'm Amy, and I have the world's best job!
I'm a professional dog photographer, which means I've crawled through mud, made weird and embarrassing sounds in public, and once knowingly sat in goose poop without hesitation. All for the perfect shot. All completely worth it.
After 13 years doing this, my love for dogs, and the ridiculous lengths I'll go to for them, hasn't wavered for a single second.
My photography journey began back in 2013 when I fell head-over-heels in love with my rescued miniature poodle named Truffles (pictured above). Over the past 13 years as a dog and pet photographer I’ve developed a unique technique that combines animal psychology and an adaptive workflow to bring out the best in any pet.
Now that Truffles is no longer with me it’s the memories of her that I treasure most. The archival quality artwork I created ensures her big, beautiful, slightly judgemental personality will be filling my home with joy (and side-eye) for a lifetime.
And now I want to do the same for you… trust me, it's worth it!
