Hey there! I was once in your shoes: passionate about dogs, armed with a cool camera, but wanting to truly master pet photography. What I needed was a mentor to guide me through the art and business of pet photography. There were times I felt confident, and other times, I felt like I was lost. Fast forward to today, and I’m now a six-figure pet photographer, offering mentorship to other pet photographers across the country!
I’ve figured out what works in pet photography, from techniques to business strategies, and now I want to help you. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I offer personalized 1:1 pet photography mentorship sessions online or in-person. Additionally, I host group workshops for pet photographers who are eager to learn and grow.
Here’s another exciting part: you can also shadow and join me for a live shoot, gaining hands-on experience with real-time guidance!
In our mentorship sessions, whether virtual via Zoom or in-person, I'll tailor our time to meet your specific needs, ensuring that you walk away with actionable insights and confidence to elevate your profitable pet photography career.

" Inspiring and Well-Organized Workshop!
I attended a dog photography workshop with Venture with Dogs this spring and it was an incredible experience! The workshop was thoughtfully organized, with a perfect balance of hands-on learning and creative inspiration. The guidance provided was top-notch, helping me refine my skills and gain confidence in capturing the personality and essence of each dog. The locations were stunning, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and fun.
In addition to the group workshop, I had the opportunity to participate in a one-to-one session, which was incredibly valuable. The personalized attention allowed me to dive deeper into specific areas I wanted to improve. This focused time gave me the confidence to launch dog photography as part of my current photography offerings.
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone passionate about photography and dogs—it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss!"

" I first met Kaitlyn when she did a session for me to photograph my boxer who had just celebrated her 10th birthday. Kaitlyn was a huge help from finding the perfect setting for my girl's session to for capturing her so perfectly. My girl has since passed on and the beautiful photos that I have are something I'll cherish forever.
Fast forward a couple of years, I discovered that Kaitlyn was hosting a pet photography workshop. This is something that I've always wanted to do, but hadn't yet. When I learned that there was a bonus day of shooting in Acadia National Park I knew I couldn't pass it up so I booked my spot! I'm so happy that I did because not only did I learn a lot about photography in general, but I also went home with a lot of knowledge about running a successful business! I've already applied some of what I've learned and have been seeing great results which is awesome!
In short, if you're looking for a great photographer to capture amazing photos of your pups or if you're considering taking part in a photography workshop, I have only great things to say about Kaitlyn! She's amazing at what she does!"

" I attended one of Kaitlyn's dog photography workshops in the fall of 2023. It was so well planned and put together. She gave us several different locations, situations, and dogs to work with. Watching her do her process from shooting to editing gave me invaluable knowledge. She also made the whole time fun! I 100% recommend for professionals and hobbyists alike. "
