*Session locations are exceptionally important to the success of a photo shoot. We will mutually decide on the best location based on the dog's personality, client's desire for type of photographs and the location's ability to provide varying backgrounds. Need help deciding on a location? We are happy to help.

Flower crown images are an included option for all of our sessions, whether you choose the Signature Session or the Artisan Dog Portrait Session. We have a collection of flower crowns we can bring to your session or you can bring your own.

Step 2 – Enjoy Your Photo Shoot!

This is the fun part! Enjoy your session and watch your pup shine. Your dog will naturally feel the most secure with you by his side and we will guide you every step of the way on where to stand and how to help throughout the session. It's as easy as standing next to your dog and holding onto his leash! We do the rest. Your pup is totally up for this - no matter his personality.

The photos turned out amazing!

We recently got a rescue pupper and we wanted to get some professional photos of her (and of us too). Initially the weather didn’t want to cooperate, so we had to reschedule several times, but they were super flexible and really worked with us to find a date/time that would get us some fantastic photos. The big day finally came, and they did an amazing job with our shy girl. The photos turned out amazing! I would highly recommend Tailwagger Dog Photography.

Amazing photos that I will always cherish...

Tailwagger Dog Photography has an eye for the unique traits and movements of each pet that they photograph. All four of my dogs have been the subjects of amazing photos that I will always cherish. In addition, their expertise and photography skills led me to use their services for our Pets of the Month at our veterinary hospital. Our veterinary clients have been complimentary and overwhelmingly appreciative of the talents of Trish and Birgit. I would highly recommend that you contact Tailwagger Dog Photography for photos of your treasured pets!
