ABOUT

Throughout the year, I occasionally seek dog models for a variety of creative projects, educational opportunities, and photography-related events. To make the process easier, you can now add your dog to the official Venture With Dogs Model Database.

Over the years, dogs I’ve had the pleasure of photographing have been featured in books, calendars, educational workshops, international photography competitions, and other creative projects. Joining the database gives your dog the opportunity to be considered for future projects that may be a great fit for their personality and look.

What can you expect from the Model Database?

Professional Photography Experiences
When your dog is selected for a project, they’ll have the opportunity to participate in a professional photography experience, whether that’s a scenic outdoor adventure, a studio session, or something entirely unique.

Opportunities to Be Featured
Selected models may be invited to participate in creative, educational, commercial, or promotional projects. Your dog could even find themselves featured as part of Venture With Dogs!

Special Perks & Discounts
As a thank-you for participating, selected models may receive special offers, discounts, or other perks depending on the project.

A Few Important Notes

This is not a dog modeling agency. The database is maintained solely for my personal use and allows me to reach out when I’m looking for a dog with specific characteristics, personality traits, coat colors, sizes, ages, or other qualities for a particular project.

Joining the database does not guarantee that your dog will be selected or receive a complimentary photoshoot. Each opportunity is project-specific, and models will be contacted individually when I feel they may be a good fit.

These images are edited during personal editing time and worked on in between scheduled client sessions. Because of this, you may receive your images outside of my standard paid-session turnaround time.

INFORMATION

Frequently
asked
questions

All breeds, mixes, sizes, colors, personalities, etc are welcome to apply! There are various amount of projects that could be good for one dog, but not the other. Model calls may just be the dog or I could be looking for people and their dog too. 

All skill levels are welcome, although dogs who are comfortable with basic cues and direction may have a better chance of being selected. Keep in mind, every image has a purpose and there’s a reason behind each shot we need to capture. If you’d rather have a session that’s entirely focused on your dog, with the time and flexibility to create without any pressure, I’d love to work with you through a private session instead!

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Think of this database as your go-to hub for finding the ultimate dog model. We're all about matching the right pup to the job, considering factors like breed, size, age, and personality quirks. When cool new projects pop up, I'll give you a shout if your dog fits the bill. We'll chat about timelines, and all the juicy details then.

how does THIS work?

There is no fee to apply and if chosen, you will receive a complimentary photo session. 

If available, you will be able to download 3 watermarked, social-media sized digital photos. 

High-resolution images packs of 5 are available for purchase for $400 / pack, free from watermarks.

Additionally, if selected, you'll be eligible for a 20% discount on professional, high-quality prints and products, allowing you to transform your images into tangible pieces of art for your home.

is there any cost to me?

Your dog isn't expected to be perfect, your dog is expected to be a dog. Some types of projects have a certain requirements from others, maybe I do want your dog on a leash (ex; a leash company needing product photos, or teaching others how to photograph on leash). I'll always do my best to find the perfect match for your dog's safety and happiness.

If your dog is very reactive, think it's not well-trained enough, won't listen, etc, please mention all this on your application or consider booking a private session.

What if my dog is ___ or can't ____?

These model sessions are completely complimentary, with no session fee. If images are selected to be shared with you, you’ll receive 3 (social media sized) digital images with a watermark. Additional images and professional prints may also be purchased.

A quick note when applying: If you’re applying for a specific model call or announcement, please be honest about your dog’s abilities, experience, and comfort level. Some projects require very specific images or behaviors, so the goal isn’t simply to provide “free photos.” Each model call has a purpose, and having an accurate understanding of your dog helps me determine whether they’re the right fit for that particular project.

Do I get free photos?

You may live anywhere to apply, but you must be the legal owner of the pet and be willing to sign a property and model release allowing images to be used. All pets are welcome to apply, regardless of age, breed, personality, or skill level. Knowledge of basic commands are preferred.

Is there a certain criteria?
