Venture With Dogs sessions are where storytelling, adventure, and the wild heart of your pup come together. Created by a premier dog photographer in Maine, these outdoor sessions unfold in the warm glow of evening, the most flattering light for capturing dogs exactly as they are: joyful, curious, and full of life.
Each experience is centered around your dog’s natural rhythm, blending candid moments, lifestyle imagery, and artful portraits that celebrate your dog and who loves them most. With a dog-first approach and a focus on comfort and safety, most portraits are photographed on-leash while still looking beautifully natural and free.
Every adventure is tailored to the landscapes that make Maine and New England unforgettable like fields of wildflowers, sweeping mountain ridges, rocky or sandy coastline, and other breathtaking destinations that let your dog shine.
With your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort at the heart of every session, the goal is simple: to create timeless, soulful artwork: warm, honest, and echoing the true heart of your dog.
because every wag, every soulful gaze, and every paw print tells a story that deserves to be cherished for a lifetime.

Kaitlyn's commitment to excellence is visible as she lays and rolls on any terrain to find the right angle. Her professionalism and warm demeanor instill confidence and comfort, ensuring a smooth and pleasant process from start to finish.
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.
