How we work

together

1: Plan the deTails

Together we’ll plan out your pup’s perfect adventure and how you’ll enjoy these portraits.

 2: Run wild & free  

The goal: live in the moment in the great outdoors and celebrate that wild bond you and your pup share.

3: Enjoy every day

Your favorite portraits will be turned into beautiful, ready-to-display artwork to enjoy for years to come.

We wanted someone to capture our pups and the joy they bring to our lives. Kristen is extremely easy to work with, organized, detailed, and has a true passion for what she does. She treated our dogs and us like family and made the experience something we will always remember.

Hey y’all, I’m Kristen

and this is my heart dog Cedar

She’s also a pretty damn good little bird dog, super snuggler, part-time van-life sidekick, paddleboarding pup, and all-around fantastic adventure buddy.

Some may say she’s “spoiled;” I say she’s fairly compensated for the user experience and added value she brings to my life.

I treat your pups like my own. When we work together, you and your pup receive the same amount of care, love, and attention I give to her every single day.

Joy guaranteed

I get it y’all. You may be thinking there’s no way your pup will ‘behave’ during our session, and I’ll never be able to get the portraits you’re looking for.

I’ll let you in on a secret. . . no animal I’ve ever photographed is 100% perfect at all times. It’s totally normal and absolutely okay! Personality-filled portraits are actually what makes the difference between generic wall art you can get at Home Goods and custom artwork of your best friend.

I promise you’re going to have a great experience. This is why I offer a love-your-portraits guarantee. If after seeing your photos you’re not in love with them, we’ll reshoot or I’ll refund your art credit.
