Signature Outdoor Sessions
Every Signature Session is built around one dog: yours.
We start with a conversation about who your dog is. Not commands they know or tricks they can do. Who they are. The way they tilt their head when they hear your voice. The thing they do at the park that makes strangers stop and smile. The look they give you that no one else gets to see.
Then we find the place that feels like them. Wooded trails for the dog who comes alive when their nose hits the ground. Wide open fields for the one who needs room to run. Quiet water for the old soul who just wants to be near you. We plan everything around the best light and your dog's energy, not a clock.
I've worked with dogs who couldn't sit still for two seconds and dogs who needed twenty minutes before they'd look at me. Dogs who hid behind their owners and dogs who tried to lick the lens. Whatever your dog brings, I know what to do with it. That's the whole point.
Afterward, we meet privately so you can see your images for the first time the way they deserve to be seen. You choose what comes home with you. Every product is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Classic Studio Session
My Dublin studio is a quiet, beautiful space built for dogs who don't love the unpredictability of the outdoors. Maybe your dog is reactive. Maybe they're older and a park session would be too much. Maybe they're just a dog who settles into calm spaces and that's where their real personality shows up.
No other dogs. No squirrels. No joggers. Just your dog, completely at ease, in a space designed to let them be exactly who they are.
Everything about the experience is the same as an outdoor session. We plan it around your dog. I work with whatever energy they bring. And afterward, we meet privately so you can see your images the way they were meant to be seen. You choose what comes home with you. Every product is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Next Steps
Get in touch with me. I'm happy to either jump on a call, or send information via email. Whichever you prefer.
If this is a good fit and this is what you've been looking for, we'll pick a date and I'll take it from there.
Worried Your Dog Won't Cooperate?
That’s completely normal. Most clients worry their dog won’t cooperate.
Every session is designed with that in mind.
Most dogs I photograph are energetic, shy, older, anxious, or need to stay on leash for safety. Sessions are designed around real dogs, not perfect behavior.
You don’t need your dog to perform. You just need to show up. I’ll guide the rest. I answer all of that here → FAQ's.
Working with Claudine far exceeded our expections and knew she was the perfect fit from the first phone call!
She was so kind, attentive to detail, and even helped us pick out outfits that went well with our location and the dogs. Our dogs are both very reactive, extremely high energy, and can be difficult to work with. Our session was set up to function as a regular play date with some pictures sprinkled in the mix. This helped the pups relax and be in their element.
Claudine took the time to make sure each dog was comfortable before even attempting to take any pictures. This was such an important step to ensure the session was fun (not only for the dogs, but for us too). Not only was Claudine amazing with the dogs, the pictures turned out incredible! This investment was so worth it and we highly recommend Simply Dog Photography!

Where we'll shoot
Sessions take place on location across Columbus and Central Ohio.
From the trails at Scioto Audubon and Highbanks Metro Park to the gardens at Park of Roses in Clintonville, quaint historic Dublin, and quiet neighborhood trails in Powell and Worthington, we'll find the spot where your dog feels most at home.
We figure all of this out together during our planning session.
