A Mother’s Day gift that honors her whole heart
The Mother’s Day gift that shows how much you care.
This Mother’s Day, give her a joyful photography experience that captures the connection, laughter, and little moments between her, her pup, and the ones she loves most.
She’s the one who usually takes the photos, this is her chance to be IN the photos. And it’s an experience that she’ll love (family and pups, too!).
Even if you think your dog would never sit still, especially if you think your dog would never sit still (I believe that pets and kids can do no wrong at a session), this is her chance to have the family photos that she’s dreamed about.
From planning to wardrobe to guiding the session, I’ll take care of every detail so it feels easy and enjoyable.
Who this is for:
- The husband who wants to give a gift that she will rave about…for years
- Or for you, because you deserve to be in these memories, too.
- The dog mom whose pup is her baby
- The mom raising kids who are growing up side-by-side with their pup
- The one who’s always behind the camera, but deserves to be in these memories too
- The family who knows the best moments are the unplanned, joy-filled, slightly chaotic ones

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my dog needs to be on a leash?
All dogs will stay on leash for their photoshoot! Most leashes can be edited out; harnesses are more likely to remain in.
My #1 priority is the safety of your pet.
Where do photoshoots occur?
It depends on what kind of session you have. Artisan sessions happen on specific dates at seasonal locations. Custom sessions usually happen at a local park or stable.
What if my dog won't sit still or isn't well behaved?
I don’t expect them to be anything but. a dog. They don’t need to sit still or “behave”. I want their personalities to shine so we create the safe space for that to happen. My only rule is that kids and pets can do no wrong.
Is artwork included in my gift?
Short answer – yes. Artisan sessions come with two high resolution digital images with more available for purchase. Custom sessions include $1000 towards any artwork purchase. Images start at $250 each (including the high resolution digital image and matching 4×6″ matted print) with packages available.
When do photoshoots occur?
Sessions occur about two hours before sunset for the best, most golden light.
What should I wear to my photoshoot?
In general I recommend avoiding black or white, but earth tones and pops of color are usually great. Creams, browns, mossy greens, mustard yellow, burnt orange, salmon pink are my favorites. I always share my wardrobe planning guide and I’m happy to help with options via text or Zoom.
What if my dog is nervous around strangers, or not good with other dogs?
I’ve fostered over 100 dogs and cats, and so I’m used to all kinds of behavior! And we’ll work with whatever they need.
What happens after she receives her gift?
She can just reach out to me via email or phone to get started planning her session.

Hi, I’m Jen
I have to admit- I’m much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it.
But every time I push myself to step in for a photo with my own pets, I’m so grateful I did. Those images end up meaning more than I ever expect… because they capture something you can’t recreate later.
That’s why what I do matters so much to me.
Kids and pups are my favorite kind of beautiful chaos. The laughter, the movement, the in-between moments that aren’t perfectly posed, but feel the most real.
You don’t have to worry about getting everything “just right.”
I’ll guide everyone through it all and create a space where everyone can simply be themselves.
