The Platinum Story Session: Professional dog photography at its best

Gracie is Ellie the pup's aunt and she seems to be giving the youngin' a piece of her mind.

Every dog has a story.

How they run.
How they look at you.
The little habits only you notice.

The Platinum Story Session is designed to capture that — not just in photos, but in a collection of images meant to live on your walls and tell their story for years to come.

We don’t rush.
We don’t force poses.
We let your dog be who they are, and we build the session around that.

In about an hour outdoors, you don’t walk away with files — you walk away with a story in photographs.

This two-year-old is giving her Milo and much-needed pep talk in between his runs for the camera.

Why the Platinum Story Session is different

Most photographers take pet photos.

We create pet stories.

We’ve spent decades photographing animals — wildlife, birds in flight, horses, dogs — which means we understand movement, timing, and emotion in a way few photographers do.

That experience is what allows us to capture:
• The leap
• The glance
• The quiet moment
• The joy

Not by luck — by design.

Our Platinum sessions are built for dogs whose stories deserve more than a snapshot.

What the Platinum experience feels like

Before your session, we talk about your dog — their personality, their energy, what makes them special. That shapes everything from location to timing to the kind of images we aim to create.

On photo day, we meet in an outdoor setting that fits your dog. We go at their pace. If they want to run, we run. If they want to sit and soak in the moment, we let it happen.

After the session, we carefully review every image and hand-select the best moments. Those are professionally edited and prepared for sharing, printing, and wall art.

This is where a story becomes something you can hang on your wall.
