Welcome to the Garden Studio

This isn’t a rented field or a borrowed backdrop.
It’s a space built slowly, intentionally, and always with pets in mind.

My studio sits on a fully fenced acre of gardens, designed to feel relaxed, safe, and full of discovery. It’s paired with a professional indoor studio just steps away, so sessions can unfold naturally, without rushing or forcing a plan.

Some pets bloom outdoors.
Some prefer the quiet calm inside.
Most enjoy a little of both.

That flexibility is part of the magic.

The Gardens

Room to wander. Space to be themselves.

The gardens are completely fenced and landscaped for pets, which means dogs can explore safely while we capture portraits that feel unforced and true to who they are.

You’ll find:

  • Winding paths and open shade
  • Seasonal color and natural textures
  • Quiet corners for thoughtful souls
  • Space for sniffing, stretching, and settling in

This is where muddy paws become masterpieces.
Where curiosity leads the session.
Where dogs get to be dogs.

Leashes are used when needed, then edited out later. Safety always comes first, without sacrificing the feeling of freedom.

The Studio

Clean, calm, and beautifully controlled.

Just beyond the gardens is the indoor studio, designed for comfort, consistency, and timeless portraits.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Professional lighting tailored for pets
  • Soft, neutral backdrops that keep the focus on expression
  • A quiet, climate-controlled space ideal for seniors, puppies, and shy pets

The studio is perfect for:

  • Classic portraits
  • Weather-proof sessions
  • Pets who prefer predictability
  • Artwork meant to feel polished and enduring

Some of the most soulful portraits happen here, in the stillness.

One Session, Many Possibilities

You don’t have to choose between studio or garden.

Most sessions naturally flow between both, following your pet’s energy and comfort. We start where they feel best, pause when they need a break, and adjust as we go.

No pressure.

No clock-watching.

Just attention and care.

Designed With Intention

Every part of this space exists for a reason.

The fencing.

The sightlines.

The light.

The quiet.

It’s all in service of creating portraits that feel honest, joyful, and lasting. Artwork you’ll live with. Images that will matter more as time passes.
