Dog Photographer captures a goofy look on a Irish Wolfhound in woodland location

Our Love of Dogs


History tells us that dogs became domesticated around 14,000 years ago. Most of this was for purposes to assist with hunting and protection of livestock. Through the years, dogs became so much more to humans. In the mid 1800s, he AKC set standards for breed specifics and popularized both practical reasons as well as emotional reasons to own a dog. By 1995, Petsmart and Petco became the largest pet supply stores in the country. Let's face it. Dogs rule!

Three reason why you should You Hire a Professional Dog Photographer

1. The Puppy Stage

If you've ever owned a puppy, you know how great it is to look back on the images and marvel at how cute he was. Having snapshots of your puppy is nice, but having a professional dog photographer capture amazing images is another. Imagine having a photobook of images of your puppy at milestone ages. It's something you will cherish for a lifetime.

2. The Adult Stage


Some are regal and some are still pretty goofy, but these are your dog's best years. They come into themselves and settle in as a member of your family. This a perfect stage to get dog portraits done of your dog because this is the years you will likely remember them the most. Your best buddy on long hikes, playing fetch at the park, or going all out at the dog beach. With experience and dog handling, Wandering Woof Photography is your dog photographer of choice! Don't wait to let me document how wonderful your dog is at this stage.

3. The Elder Stage


Believe it or not, this is the stage that I get the most calls to book a session for. Sadly, it is often for a paw parent to request an end-of-life session. I cannot tell you how many times clients say to me that they wish they hadn't waited to just get their dog at this stage. That said, it is a time in a dog's life that should be photographed. It is part of their story. The ghost while face, the bowlegged gait and the endearing patient eyes are all something that will leave your heart happy that you have photos of it all.
