No matter how you choose to tell it, this is your story, and Dirtie Dog Photography is here to help you capture it.

If you’re not sure you’re ready for a full 1 on 1 session, but would like to try out a portrait experience with Dirtie Dog Photography, perhaps a Group Session would be a great fit. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy portraits of your dog, or horse while also hanging out with friends.

Marika came to my house to take photos of my dog Winston and she was patient, loving and fun with him. Winston wanted to play and snuggle up to Marika but she knew exactly what to do to capture his personality while keeping him interested! I love the outcome of our session and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be in the photos with my pet?

You are absolutely a part of your pet’s story, so if you would like to be included in the session, you are welcome! There are many ways to capture the relationship between you and your pet, so we can discuss how you would like to be included at your consultation.

My dog cannot go to dog parks, or be off leash. What do we do?

That’s totally okay! Many of my sessions take place on leash in beautiful spaces. The safety of your pet is most important which is why I do leash removal in post-production. An in-home environmental or studio style session might be a great fit for you and your pet if you aren’t ready for an outdoor session.

I can never get good photos of my pet because they are too crazy. How do you do it?

This is a common concern of first time clients. We love our free-spirited pets, but it makes it hard to capture their sweet faces when they are bouncing around so much. Luckily, I am a professional photographer equipped with not only the proper equipment, but the knowledge to create beautiful portraits of even the wildest pets. I’m also a free-spirited animal, so I am always up for the challenge.

I have an indoor only cat that HATES leaving the house. What kind of session will work for me?

I come to you! I have found that cats do best in their own environments. My studio is portable, so if you are hoping for portraits of your cat on white, black or another backdrop, I set up right in your home. In-home sessions are wonderful because we can create a mix of environmental and studio style portraits.

My dog is not trained. At all. Can you still take their portraits?

An untrained dog can still have beautiful portraits taken. I do recommend that for your dog’s best interest and safety, you take some time to work on basic commands. There are many wonderful trainers in the greater Seattle area who can help you and your dog become a wonderful team.

I just found out that my pet has only a short amount of time left. Is it possible to book an emergency session?

First, I am so very sorry for what you are going through. Yes, it is possible to book an emergency session. I encourage you to email and call me as soon as possible so that we can schedule a Legacy session for you and your pet.

Marika came to our house to photograph our cat Toby DeVitto. He is usually shy and hides under our bed when we have people over, but Marika was really good at making him feel comfortable and pose him to get amazing pictures! I was impressed!

I highly recommend Dirtie Dog Photography to anyone with a pet!

The photos are not only beautiful but also a wonderful memory that we will treasure forever!
