It's an incomparable love.
There is no one who loves you as fully. There is no one who reads you as well. There is no one you "gets" you like your non-human family.
I want to honor that love so you have it to look upon every day in your home or office. These wholehearted portraits honor the best of your companion and will transport you to your most cherished memories every time you see them - the smell of those well-traveled paws, the velvety ears, the contented grunts as you scratched in just the right place.
Whether we hang out on the beach, in forest, on the town, or on your sofa, you'll see photographs that are the essence of your best friend. If your animal family is anything like mine, that means moments of regal dignity, joyful exuberance, and everything between.

When we meet in person I'll bring art pieces you can see and touch so you can imagine how incredible it will be to see your dog gazing over the living room sofa from his place on the wall. It's way better than seeing it on a screen.
Keep scrolling along and you'll see the kinds of photography experiences I offer - one for easy-going dogs who enjoy adventures and one for dogs who are nearing the end of their time here. I also create mixed media art pieces with companion animals, and those pieces are possible to create even after an animal has passed.
Let's talk through what you have in mind! We'll get to know each other, share ideas, and talk about how to immortalize your love in art.
Au Naturel
Au Naturel is natural light photography for adventure-seeking dogs as well as homebodies. We'll do whatever your companion would like to do, whether that is racing along muddy trails or surveying the household activity from the sofa. No poses or props - just real life. And maybe a touch of effortless French style.
The experience includes a meet-and-greet, camera time (which is usually between 60 and 90 minutes), and session to review your photographs and decide how and where you want to honor your best friend.
The $250 session fee includes my time, experience, and ninja-like skill. The average client invests $1,500 in the experience.

Friends of Conan
Friends of Conan are nearing the end of life, either due to a serious medical condition or advanced age, and they often need more time and grace. These sessions receive priority scheduling and processing, and while there is no limit on camera time, two hours is typically plenty.
It can be hard to predict which days will be good days for comfort; these sessions receive priority scheduling and processing to make the process as easy as possible. For the best experience, it is better to schedule when the good days far outnumber the really hard ones. We can hang out on the sofa, in the back yard, or adventure to a favorite location as feels right.
The experience includes a meet-and-greet, camera time, and session to review your photographs and decide how and where you want to honor your best friend.
Because many of these sessions are urgent and with short notice, we can combine a meet-and-greet and discussion of what you'd like to see with camera time.
The $200 session fee includes my time, experience, compassion, and empathy. The average client invests $2,000 in the experience.

Interspecies Art
Would you love to see how your animal companion would represent herself in a mixed media work of art? Your companion and I will work together to create an art piece that showcases her just as she'd like you to remember her. All creative decisions will be hers, and your influence is limited to choosing the size of the finished piece.
The experience includes an initial conversation with the three of us to see if we are a compatible team and if your animal companion wants to participate in the project. From there I communicate with your animal to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
The best part of this experience is that a physical presence is not required. I can communicate with clients anywhere in the world and animals who are with you in spirit only.
Interspecies art begins at $200. The average client invests $500 in the experience.
