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.
Unrushed Flexible Sessions
Your Time Spent Your Way
We allot up to 2 hours of shoot time per family portrait session.
How we spend that time is entirely up to you...
- Unlimited Costume Changes
- Formal Poses
- Candids / Lifestyle
- Group Portraits with Your Dog
- Solo Portraits of Your Dog
- Headshots for Yourself
Choose one or a mix -- either way the cost is included in your sitting fee.

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.
