Family Portrait Sessions with Dog

Family + Pet Portrait Sessions

Photos with Your Favorites in a Dog-Friendly Studio

Capturing candid and authentic moments cherished for a lifetime at our dog-friendly photography studio in Baltimore, Maryland.

Stress-Free Lifestyle Photography

Magazine Quality Portraits Priced for Everyday Families

Dogs are wildcards. While an absolute joy to work with, they tend to bring a chaotic energy to the studio. And, we love them for it!

While we typically start every session with a shot list of more formal poses. We find the best way to photograph dogs with their families is to simply get out of their way and lend them room to play.

Working in a massive updated historic cotton duck mill with original hardwood floors, 20' tall ceilings, and a well lit ensuite restroom / changing area, our studio lends plenty of space to do exactly that -- giving your family and your favorite furbaby an unrushed opportunity for those joyful moments to develop in real time.

Introducing the Heart Dog Sessions

Discounted Pricing For Right Sized Families

Is your dog your everything?

If you said yes, then today is your lucky day!

We offer special discounted pricing for those "dog moms" (and dads) who want to be photographed alone with their pet.

Good Dogs Deserve Our Best

Photographing Dogs of All Ages, Temperaments, & Training Levels

Dogs give us all of their love, loyalty, affection and attention every single day. We believe a bond that special deserves better than a simple snapshot or rushed mini session. Which is why our studio remains steadfast in our commitment to photographing dogs the right way, guided by 3 foundational principles -- creativity, quality, and safety.

Unrushed One-On-One Studio Sessions

We allot up to 2 hours per studio session to provide pups sufficient time to acclimate to our studio and collaborate with us at their own pace. And, to prevent surprise / excitable introductions between our canine guests, all Puptrait sessions are booked strictly by appointment only with a minimum of 1 hour padding between clients.

Elderly & Sick Dog Accommodations

We offer priority booking to dogs sick with potentially terminal illnesses and in instances where a pup is scheduled for treatments that may alter their appearance, such as chemo or radiation therapy.

Convenient Studio Availability

We are available to shoot 7 days a week from 12PM until 10 PM strictly by appointment only. To schedule a pet portrait session or to view studio availability please use the online scheduling app located below. Our building is wheelchair accessible, featuring both ramp and elevator access.

Free Lot Parking

Our studio is located just minutes from both the Falls Road and West Cold Spring Lane exits on i83 -- which connects the Inner Harbor to the Baltimore Beltway (695) and all points north of the Maryland / Pennsylvania state line -- roughly 45 minutes from Washington D.C. and the rest of the DMV.

Dog-Friendly Studio Space

Our dog-friendly photography studio is shed conscious, bark happy, and reactive resistant. Making it a happy and safe place for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and training levels.

Exclusive Costume Designs

All of our pet costumes are specifically tailored to the exact measurements of our canine subjects. Each one-of-a-kind piece is handmade in-house and never used twice. To help minimize the environmental impact of our single use costumes, we use a mix of traditional art materials and upcycled / found materials whenever possible. Patrons are allowed to keep their costumes for no additional charge and are encouraged to display costumes alongside their prints.

Online Proofing & Digital Downloads

We understand the importance of sharing photos of your dog on social media. Which is why all Puptrait clients receive downloadable digital copies of all proofs at or beyond the maximum display resolution allowed by Instagram -- 1080 pixels wide in sRGB.
