Is there a better job than being a professional dog photographer in Northwest Arkansas?

Welcome to Outdoor Pet Photography Services of Northwest Arkansas! NWA is a haven for outdoor lovers—and that includes dogs and many other pets! With rolling hills and beautiful Beaver Lake, it’s the perfect backdrop for a pet photoshoot with a professional pet photographer.

Let’s dig into the details..

All Northwest Arkansas pet photographers are not created equal

• We know animals. We know how they move. How they react. It comes from decades of photographing wildlife and birds. See our pics of owls and eagles.
• We only do pets (and families with pets). No weddings. No events. We stay in our lane.
• We are artists. We photograph the soul and joy of your best friend. Check out our favorite galleries: golden retrievers, alpacas (yes, they are pets, too), horses, and Vizslas.
• We put our work up against anyone!

Outdoor pet photography sessions tailored to your needs – NEW, LOWER PRICES

• Platinum Package (Special End of Season Price: $275). We’ll take up to 60-ish minutes to get you up to 30 professionally-edited photos of your best buddy. We typically shoot more than 1,000 photos in a session. We will help with locations that best fit your pet’s personality. You’ll get the final best photos in two formats: JPG for sharing and TIF for printing. Click here for the details.
• Family and Pet Portrait Package (Special End of Season Price: $325). Bring the whole family for memories you will always cherish. Click here for the details.
• End of Life Photography. This is difficult, we know. Each situation is different. We will work with you on the price. Contact us or learn more about how we approach this in our recent article.
• Custom Photography Services. We print, frame and fix. We can make a damaged electronic file look like new! Pricing based on specific project. Learn more about our Custom Photography Services.

Check out examples of our favorite work, which includes some of our wild animal photography: golden retrievers, vizslas, alpacas, wild horses, owls and bald eagles.

Three reasons we should be your professional pet photographer

Let us know if you find someone that does these better than us:

1. Deep Experience with Wildlife and Not-So-Wild Wildlife. Animals and birds are predictable. For example, birds always take off into the wind. What about dogs? They follow their noses. The magic is getting them to raise their beautiful heads. We have spent more than 20 years photographing animals in real environments… wild and not-so-wild. Make sure who you hire has been there and done that when it comes to animal and pet photography.
2. Unmatched Image Quality. Phone cameras are amazing. But they can’t match professional equipment. The beautiful photo of the two goldens playing did not come from our phone. You be the judge as you look at our work (see links below). You will be proud to hang our photos in your home or office.
3. Fast-Moving Pets Are Our Specialty. You will find most of our competitors don’t show a lot of action photos. Why? Because it’s hard. We live for the gasp-worthy shots. Make sure who you hire can do this.

Remember, we focus exclusively on outdoor pet and family photography photo sessions as a dog photographer in Northwest Arkansas and its surrounding areas.

Here are a few examples of our wild and not-so-wild animals and birds: alpacas, moose and wild horses.. Also, here are some of our favorite bird pics: owls and bald eagles.

Frequently Asked Questions: Northwest Arkansas

Do you offer professional pet photography for other animals besides dogs in Northwest Arkansas?

Absolutely! While we do mostly dogs, we love working with other pets as well. We have photographed horses and alpacas… what a treat! Cats are a favorite as well (although outdoors isn’t always an option). If it’s pets in the outdoors, count us in. Feel free to contact us to discuss something cool we can do with your pet, traditional or otherwise!

How far will you travel for a pet photoshoot in Northwest Arkansas?

We primarily serve the 1-49 corridor, but we are happy to travel around Benton and Washington counties. We are also open to other locations in Arkansas.

How do we choose a location around NWA?
We will help you pick a spot based on your pet’s personality and comfort level. If you have a favorite park or outdoor area, we are always open to explore new locations. Many times, the back yard is where we get the best results.

What should I bring to the session?
A favorite toy, treats, a leash, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable.

What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
If the weather turns bad, we can reschedule for a better day—simple as that!

My dog has to be on a leash when we are out. How can we get photos without the leash?

Ah, the wonders of technology. We haven’t yet met a leash or collar that can’t be magically removed by our editing software. No worries on this!

What do customers say?

“This was our first experience with a professional photographer for our pets and we could not have been more pleased with the results! Todd bonded immediately with our new puppies and had them playing together while he shot many amazing photos.

“From our first contact with Todd through the delivery of our photos his service was professional while showing the personal touch of a fellow pet owner. We really appreciated Todd taking time to understand what we wanted from the photo shoot and his suggestions to improve upon our initial thoughts. Once he arrived he took time to assess the layout of the property and optimal lines for shooting and light. Our dogs were in motion constantly during the shoot and he was able to get many more photos than we expected with the dogs in focus and having fun so we had a lot of great photos to choose from. We are looking forward to using Todd’s service again this fall!”

Robert Lubben

“I love my two giant poodles, Sergeant and Gunner, so the BEST PART of the photo shoot was that they loved Todd! We dog lovers all know that dogs instinctively know a dog lover when they meet one! They are relaxed and happy around humans who care for them. We all went to Sergeant and Gunner’s favorite dog park and Todd captured great action shots of ‘my boys’ at play. So, the SECOND BEST PART of the photo shoot was the quality of the photographs. Todd captured memories that will live forever!”
