At Venture With Dogs, we believe that

soulmates aren't just lovers

sometimes they have four paws, fur, a wagging tail, and a heart that beats with ours

With timeless artwork that keeps their spirit alive in your home.

They were made for movement, for adventure, and for living life at full speed. Where dogs can be dogs.

the process

Adventure sessions are just that - an adventure! We will venture out to customized location, perhaps a beautiful field with wild flowers, the mountain tops looking over the ridges, the sandy or rocky coast, or a different picturesque landscape.

Every single picture Kaitlyn captured brings me immense joy and often happy tears. With Venture With Dogs, it's not just about taking photos; it's about creating cherished, lasting memories, and Kaitlyn accomplishes this with unparalleled grace and proficiency.

- Willow's Mom

I'm so overwhelmed with the images you were able to capture. My eyes are welling with tears as I write this. They're all so beautiful I'm at a loss for words! Thank you so much for capturing my beautiful girl perfectly!

- Beth

I had a great experience with Kaitlyn from start to finish. It felt more like hanging out with a friend rather than a photo session, she made me and my pups totally comfortable and she has the best locations to choose from. I highly recommend booking a session with Kaitlyn!

- Cami

Kaitlyn was so great to work with. I had never done a photoshoot with my dog before, so I wasn’t sure how it would go. Kaitlyn was excellent at her job, having treats on hand, knowing all the silly noises that gets a dogs attention and also understanding breaks were needed to play and bounce around. Additionally, her editing work is phenomenal. She captures a fantastic picture to start and then enhances it to really pop and bring the picture to life.

- Kimberly

I had such an awesome experience. Kaitlyn was friendly, personable, and sweet. She picked the perfect location, and had great ideas for photos, but also let me contribute ideas to personalize my session with my dog. She made us both feel comfortable, and we had so much fun! I have only seen a few ‘sneak peek’ photos, since our session was yesterday... but wow! I am blown away already. This young woman does not know how talented she is! Highly recommend.

kind words

Are you worried your dog won't "sit still"?

I will never require your dog to sit still for an hour+ or required to be off leash for their session. All the hundreds of dogs I have photographed have been very well-loved pets with their own fun personalities. 

Check out my recent blog post here on this subject!

How The Experience Works

Capture timeless, candid moments of your beloved pup with my lifestyle and fine art photography. I'll follow them, leash or no leash, to showcase their unique personality and charm. If you prefer posed portraits, I can do that too. Plus, unlike other pet photographers, I provide you with the final digital files and offer a range of print options, from European albums to luxury wall art. Cherish these stunning images for years to come and adorn your home with their joy.
