Their golden years arrive before we know it.
Your pup's time with you is never as long as we want it to be, and soon all you'll have left of these precious moments are the memories. Our goal is to capture beautiful and candid photos, documenting the special bond and all those little moments that make your relationship so unique.
These are the memories we'll hold dear in our hearts.
During your session, we want you to simply enjoy quality time with your pup, free from any expectations or pressure. You'll get to have fun and create memories by playing, cuddling, and going on a sniffari together. With the help of beautiful locations, natural light, and custom hand-edits, we'll transform your memories into lasting works of art that celebrate the special bond you share with your pup.

Sit and stay are not required!
“Pup + Me Photo is fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to capture a moment in time with their pup(s)! The pre-shoot scheduling was easy, and Monica communicates clearly and thoroughly. The shoot itself was really fun. My dogs aren’t the most cooperative, but Monica still caught some amazing moments. Plus, Evan is a dog whisperer with the treats and my boy was willing to do all the paw shakes and tricks he could for whatever goodies were in his bag. I can’t recommend Pup + Me Photo enough. Thank you for capturing this moment in time for us and making it really special.”

How it works.

Book your way
You’ve got options, book your session your way.
If you’d rather talk it through, you can hop on a quick 15-minute call where we’ll cover everything and get your session on the calendar together.
Prefer to book online? You’ll start by watching a quick video that walks you through exactly how everything works, start to finish. Once you’ve watched, you’ll be ready to pick out your session date.Either way, once you’re ready to reserve your spot, all that’s needed is a $400 session fee (which turns into a credit towards a collection!) and a little paperwork.
-
Have a fun session
Once we’re booked, I’ll send you my detailed guide to getting ready for your relaxed, zero-pressure session. Sessions take place in one of my pre-scouted locations and last around 60 minutes; two weeks later, you’ll receive 40-ish fully edited proofs to drool over and choose among. Collection prices start at $1500 after your session credit is applied.

Relive the magic at home
A couple of weeks after your session, you’ll get a beautiful slideshow delivered straight to your inbox, perfect for watching from the couch with your pup by your side. Once you’ve seen the magic we created together, you’ll choose your favorite collection and place your artwork order right from your gallery.
It’s an easy process from start to finish, and yes, comfy pants are absolutely encouraged.
Your memories, captured.
At Pup + Me, the needs of your pup come first.
We understand the special relationship between you and your pup. That's why we offer a custom experience to create a session that you and your pup will love. When you choose to work with us, not just paying for average photos of your dog. You're investing in an unforgettable experience and one-of-a-kind, heartfelt works of art.
We’ll help you prepare for your session, so that you know exactly what to expect. Throughout the session, we guide you and your pup to relax authentically, resulting in images that truly reflect the essence of your bond with your best friend. Before you know it, you’ll forget that we’re photographing you and you’ll be having the best time, cuddling your pup and loving on them.
With our artistic vision, we infuse elements like stunning locations, warm sun flares, and subtle lens blurs to create each genuine, candid, and authentically real moment shared between you and your pup. Because when you revisit these cherished photos, it should feel as though you're reliving a beautiful memory.
If you have ever shopped for art of any kind before, you know prices are all over the map and that is certainly true with photography as well. And like with other art, those prices aren’t easily compared - it’s not apples to apples. With a session fee of $400, which becomes a credit toward your chosen artwork collection, and collections starting at $1500 (after that credit is applied), you’ll find that our work is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive in the area, but it does represent one of the best values. Our average client spends $5500 on their session. With 9 years of dog photography experience and a satisfaction guarantee that we take very seriously, you can invest confidently knowing your money will be well spent.
“What an incredible experience from start to finish! Monica is such a talented professional. Getting started with her was a breeze and the photo session was such a calm and happy time for the humans and the dogs! I'm not a huge fan of having my picture taken, but Monica made me feel really at ease and also let our dogs be dogs so that she could really capture who they are.”

Your dog does not need to be still during our session. Your dog doesn’t need to know any commands, yes that is right! I practice my dog photography with force free methods. What does “force free” mean? It’s also referred to as R+, which is positive reward based methods. It means that we will not be punishing your dog in any way, we won’t be forcing them to do anything that they do not want to do. We will be allowing them to make their own choices and encourage them to be themselves so that I can capture them as they are. Your dog will lead the session, if they want to look off in to the distance, then you will look off in to the distance with them, if they want to plop and rollover for belly rubs, then we give belly rubs.

We absolutely love the special bond between kids and their dogs! We welcome families with children of all ages to join in on the fun. To ensure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time, we’ll start with a session planning chat. This gives us the chance to learn about your family, your dog, and the unique relationships you share. Together, we’ll plan a session that captures the love and connection in a way that works best for everyone.
