Happy pet parents with their dog. Portrait by Smallish, a pet photography studio in Seattle WA.

Pet Portraits

The best pet portraits aren't about hats, props, or making them jump through hoops.

They happen when their ears perk up at your voice. When they give you that quiet, expectant look right before they head for your lap. When they exist exactly as they are - a full member of your family.

That's what we photograph. Not poses. Character.

  • Yellow circular background with a white bone icon in the center.

CLIENT REVIEW

“From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and relaxed. Not once did I feel rushed or pressed for time. There’s not a day since getting the edits back that I don’t look at the photos and smile. My cat won’t be with me forever, but these photos will and there’s no price on a pets love.”

How It Works

It starts with a phone call. You tell me about your pet, your home, and what you're hoping to create. And if you're not sure yet, that's my favorite place to start. I'll help with styling, we'll plan everything together, and then you show up, have the best time, and I’ll take care of the rest.
