    We have had two photoshoots with Jocelyn now with our dog Sonny, and would rush to rebook for any of her sessions. Each time, Jocelyn has been so patient with us, and made the session light hearted and full of laughs.

    Despite having a very busy dog with minimal attention span, she was able to shoot some absolutely incredible photos. She had many tricks up her sleeve to get the best out of our sessions, and nothing is too much trouble.

    We will absolutely be returning to Jocelyn for any and all of our dog photography needs - the photos speak for themselves.”

    Highly highly recommended Jocelyn for your photography session! We worked with Jocelyn out at the sunflower field with our three large doggos (and a lizard), all with very different personality types! Jocelyn was just so patient and took into consideration their boundaries and comfort during the whole photoshoot! We worked with each doggo individually and as a group and we were always showed so much kindness and respect to both us and the animals! We loved the more active and spontaneous photos and the less posed factor of the whole experience too! The photos just feel so real and alive! We got some absolutely stunning photos from our session and my partner, who is not a fan of the camera, even felt comfortable! They truely are photos of a lifetime and we are so glad to have them as memories forever!!  Thank you thank you Jocelyn!

    I can't recommend Jocelyn highly enough! From the moment we met, she was incredibly kind and caring, making sure both myself and my dogs were comfortable throughout the entire session. Jocelyn went above and beyond to ensure we ended up with the most stunning photos, capturing each of my dogs' personalities perfectly. Not only did she deliver the most amazing photos I've ever received, but she also made the entire experience so enjoyable. Jocelyn is truly one of the most understanding and loveliest people I've had the pleasure of working with. If you're looking for a pet photographer who genuinely cares, look no further!

Why Pet Photography?

because you’re
stronger together

For centuries, dogs have been our best friends — our loyal companions who stand by us through everything. My own dogs have always been my focus and my heart, and that will never change.

But after losing a dear friend before I had the chance to capture enough photos together, I realized how important it is to be in the frame, not just behind it. That’s why I now encourage my clients to include themselves and their loved ones in their photoshoot sessions.

Time is fleeting, and we so often take tomorrow for granted. As your photographer, my goal is to help preserve those precious moments — the laughter, the quiet connection, the love you share with your dogs and with each other — through natural, candid documentary like portraits.

I’ll guide you through every step, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience. I know firsthand how intimidating it can feel to be in front of the camera, but I promise to make it relaxed, fun, and meaningful.

Together, let’s capture your story — genuine and uniquely yours.
