YOUR OUTDOOR DOG PHOTOGRAPHER

Your dog is part of the natural environment - not just in it.

At Pup Tent Photography, you're not just working with a photographer—you’re working with a zoologist, professional artist, and lifelong dog lover. I capture the unique quirks, personality and spirit of your dog because I truly know how to anticipate movements and engage with dogs in outdoor environments.

An Artistic Vision of Dog Photography

As an artist, I see every session as an opportunity to create something vivid and unforgettable. Each photo creates art that reflects both your dog’s personality and connections to nature. This approach results in images which can’t be realized anywhere else.

DOG PHOTOGRAPHY IN ALL FOUR SEASONS

Your dog has a favorite season and so do you! As we begin to chat about your ultimate dog photography session, we select whether you’d like fall leaves, winter brightness, spring flowers or summer heat. I’m here for you in fall, winter, spring and summer. The location choice is up to you and I always have recommendations.

DOGS AS WILDLIFE

Years ago, I came up with a concept of showing off our dogs as wildlife art. It started with a love of limited-edition prints by Glen Loates, Carl Brenders and Robert Bateman. Wouldn’t it be great if I could photograph dogs as they experience the outdoors? This journey has guided me to a style of dog photography that is nature-focused and heartwarming at the same time.

A bit More about Me..

When I’m not photographing client’s dogs, I’m enjoying the outdoors by hiking, location scouting and enjoying what nature teaches me on every single adventure. My pomskies Parka and Pongo are almost always with me. (Parka has had his own Facebook and Instagram account @parkathepomsky for several years, and he’s always been my muse.)
