Modern Dog Photography in Columbus and Central Ohio

For the unapologetically dog obsessed.

Your dog right now. This age, this energy, this season of your life together. That is what we are here to capture and celebrate.

Not a quick shoot. A full experience built around your dog.

Not just photographed. Celebrated.

Let's Plan Your Session

Less Photoshoot. More Playdate.

Most people who contact me have the same worries.

Their dog won't behave
They can't be off leash
They're not sure it will be worth it

This is not about forcing your dog to sit still or perform. It is about slowing things down, letting your dog be themselves, and creating images that feel honest and real.

Every session is fully planned and guided by me. Nothing feels awkward, rushed, or overwhelming. Your dog leads, I follow.

You don't need a perfect dog. You just need to care deeply. The rest is handled so you can just have an enjoyable day with your dog creating the most beautiful memories.

MOST DOGS I WORK WITH won't sit still.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A relaxed, personalized experience—for both you and your dog.

Every pup is different, so no two sessions are the same. From start to finish, I’ll guide you through a customized process that feels more like a playdate than a photo shoot.

Here's how it works:

01 Plan Your Session

Tell me about your dog, their chaos, their quirks, their signature moves, and I'll we build the whole session around them. You show up, they show up, and I handle everything else. Easy.

02 Session Day

This is the good stuff. Treats, toys, golden light, and a dog who has no idea they're about to become a supermodel. Wild and goofy or calm and soulful, we capture all of it. Every. Single. Thing.

03 Image Reveal

This is where the magic hits. We’ll laugh and may even cry. Together we’ll choose the images you simply can’t live without. It’s emotional, unforgettable, and so worth it. You'll wonder why you waited.

04 Enjoy Your Favorites

Wall art, albums, prints, and digital files. However you want to love on these photos, I've got an option for that. Pick your favorites and I'll take care of the rest. Your dog deserves all of it!

More Than A Gallery

Made to live in your home.

These portraits are created to be part of your everyday life.

Wall portrait above your couch. An album on the coffee table you open when you want to remember exactly who they were.

A framed print in the room where you spend the most time. After your session, we meet for a private reveal where you see everything we made together and choose what comes home with you.

Most clients choose finished wall art, albums, or image collections designed specifically for their home and the way they want to remember their dog.

Claudine is the dog whisperer with a camera.

She begins by taking the time to know her clients (human & canine) and uses that intel to guide her in the photo shoot. She communicates so well from start to finish and clearly guides clients before, during, and after the process so you will always know what to expect.

She's obviously a passionate dog-lover, but what sets her above the rest is how she captures the personality of each dog. She's worth every penny we paid because we have priceless family photos with our FOUR dogs that will forever be the first thing I grab if the house were ever to catch on fire!

Why This Work Matters To Me

Losing my heart dog, Tango, changed how I see photographs.

It showed me just how priceless images become over time, and why the ones that matter most are not about perfection. They are about connection.

For over 15 years, I’ve helped dog parents preserve the moments that matter most, creating meaningful images and artwork that celebrate the love, joy, and loyalty they share with their dogs.
