What is the Embark Challenge?

Twelve creative dog photography sessions, each built around a specific theme.

No poses. No commands. Just your dog doing what they do, captured in a way you have never seen before.

Sessions run evenings, 6 to 8pm, across Columbus and Central Ohio.

Selected images may be entered into international print competitions.

How it works

1) Apply below

Tell me about your dog. The more detail, the better. I am matching dogs to themes, not just picking at random.

2) I'll review on a rolling basis

As each session approaches, I will reach out to dogs who feel like a strong fit. Your application stays active for the full 6 months.

3) We set a date

If selected, I will contact you directly to schedule your evening session.

This will run May - October and dogs will be selected randomly as needed during that time.

About Claudine

I started Simply Dog Photography because of a dog named Tango. I lost him 19 years ago, and I wasn't ready. I didn't have enough photos. The ones I had weren't good enough. That's the moment this business was born.

The Embark Challenge is the most ambitious thing I've done since. I'm not looking for perfect dogs. I'm looking for real ones. Dogs with quirks and history and a face that makes you feel something.

If that sounds like yours, I'd love to hear from you.
