Timeless photos of your best friend that are unmistakably them.
Now booking pet portrait sessions with Kristen in our new studio space.
If you're reading this, I probably don't need to tell you how much your dog means to you. In fact, I already know... I know because my dogs mean everything to me.
The thing about pets is they aren't around forever. It is both an incredible blessing and a heavy curse. Your dog is exactly who they are right now. They will not get any younger, and they deserve to be captured and celebrated - right now, exactly as they are.
Every session is our studio is pet-led, meaning we take the time to get to know you and your pet and custom tailor each session around your dog, their personality and your unique bond together.
Your dog isn't just a pet, they are your best friend, your companion, your source of unlimited joy. They deserve to be artwork in your home. Let me help you remember your them forever.
What to expect from a session:
Every session is different, because every pet is different. When you book a pet portrait session with us, there is no expectation for your pet to behave or act a certain way.
- There is no requirement for pets to sit, stay, or hold still. We will guide you on how to interact with your pet throughout the session in a way that works for with personality, not against it.
- Every session takes place in our studio and includes 3 background changes (one white, one dark, one color of your choice).
- Sessions typically last between 2-3 hours so that we can move at your pets pace without being rushed. Some pets settle in quickly, while others need more time to decompress. We take lots of breaks throughout the session to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.
- We encourage humans to take part in their pets portrait session - even if it is just for one or two shots at the end.
- Every portrait session includes a complimentary personalized private shopping experience at PUP - A Super Neat Dog Boutique.

FAQ
Yes. Digital-only collections of 10 images are available from $900.
That said, we believe art should live in your hands, not on the cloud, and highly encourage our clients to experience the difference of printed artwork. For each purchased print, the corresponding digital file is included at no additional cost so you can share on social media and create a digital archive.
Dogs are our main subject; however, we would love to photograph any other pets you have! You can contact us here to chat about what you have in mind.
That's ok!! We work with dogs of all temperaments have a few tricks to get them to sit long enough for a photo. If needed, we do have slip leads available in the studio that can be used to help keep your dog in place (don't worry - you won't see these in the final photo!)
No problem! Your pet will dictate that pace of the session, which is why we plan for 2-3 hours. If it takes 30 minutes or more for your pet to warm up, we still have plenty of time to capture a lot of magnificent portraits!
For reactive dogs - I ask that you let me know before the session what triggers your dog has so we can curate your session to remove as many of these as possible!
Every session takes place in the pet portrait studio located inside of PUP - A Super Neat Dog Boutique in Carl Junction, MO. All sessions occur when the boutique is closed and include a private shopping session!
Yes! We offer limited edition mini sessions a couple of times each year. These sessions are typically one day only and sell out. Make sure you are on our email list to be notified when the next event is scheduled!
