Your Dog’s Gotcha Day, Remembered with a Dog Portrait Experience
Playful, personal portraits that reflect life with your dog
There’s a reason your dog’s Gotcha Day still matters, even years later.
It’s the day your routines shifted, joy got louder, and your life made room for muddy paws, morning wiggles, and a love that keeps surprising you.
Remembering that day doesn’t have to be big or formal.
Sometimes it looks like slowing down, letting your dog be themselves, and holding onto what this season feels like right now.
What Makes This Portrait Experience Different
This isn’t about forced poses or perfect smiles.
It’s about the parts of your dog you already know and love — the happy zoomies, the curious head tilt, the way their tail thumps when they’re genuinely pleased, and even the moments they roll their eyes like only your pup can.
Every dog is unique, and every session is shaped around them. Whether your dog is a chill senior, a spirited youngster, or somewhere in between, we’ll follow their lead so your time together feels natural and fun. Think of it as playtime with a camera, tasty treats, and the kinds of moments you’ll look back on with a quiet smile.

Your Dog’s Story, Brought to Life in Beautiful, Tender Portraits
The photos that matter most aren’t the perfectly posed ones.
They’re the ones where your dog’s personality comes through naturally — the way they move, the way they look at you, the way joy sneaks in when you’re not trying.
These portraits notice the small things: your laugh just out of frame, a familiar habit, a quiet moment that feels like home. Over time, they become reminders of who your dog is right now — and how this life together began, and keeps unfolding.
Ready to Remember Them This Way?
Gotcha Day comes once a year, but the feeling of being together lasts far longer.
If remembering your dog in a way that feels joyful, personal, and true sounds right to you, I’d love to help you hold onto this chapter — just as it is.
