Can you imagine the world without your pups?

Your pups are that never-failing slice of goodness in your life – loving, forgiving and accepting.

Your pups are with you through everything.

They are always happy to see you....even if you were only gone for 15 minutes.

Easy. Fun. Simple. 

Easy.

Easy as holding onto your pup's leash and sitting or standing next to him. You could even pop in for a photo or two with him, if you want. 

Fun.

It is fun to see how we photograph dogs, how we strategize to get the photos you want and it's amazing to see the results. 

Simple.

The photographs exceeded my expectations...

Trish with Tailwagger photographed my 11-year-old Labradoodle last fall. I was worried about him paying attention and looking at the camera, but she had that covered, no problem! She was so easy to work with and it is obvious that she loves photographing furry friends. The photographs exceeded my expectations, and I am looking forward to having her photograph my new pup with my old pup hopefully soon. You will not be disappointed if you hire Tailwagger Photography.

Amazing eye and love for dogs...

So happy to have found Tailwagger Dog Photography! We wanted a few photos of our loveable Weim, Stella, and ended up purchasing the entire portfolio because they all turned out so great! Amazing eye and love for dogs showed throughout the entire process with Tailwagger!
