Meet Abby

As a dog mom to two rescue seniors I  understand the meaning of: ”who rescued who?”. I’m also a firm believer that dogs give us some of the most valuable gifts in life. It fills my soul to celebrate these gifts through photography.  What gifts has your fur baby given you? Love? Companionship? Healing? Laughter?

``..she went above and beyond to make this a great experience!``

“Abby is amazing! I’d never taken pictures with my dog Greg before and was a little nervous at first but Abby was so sweet and put me right at ease. From cute props to water bowls and dog treats – she had thought of everything! Abby really brought out my dog’s personality and was so patient. She went above and beyond to make this a great experience for my dog and I! If you want beautiful pictures of your dog look no further.”

Worried your dog can't be off leash? Don't be!

Leashes! All the cool pups are wearing them..

Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always require you to keep your dog on leash in a public space with no fence around. No worries! As you can see I’ve harnessed the magic of Photoshop; problem solved!

``Abby is super patient and amazing with dogs..``

“Abby is an amazing photographer! She did such a great job photographing me my husband and all 3 of our dogs. She was able to capture all of their personalities in a short time. Abby is super patient and amazing with dogs – one of ours is nervous in new situations and she took her time and let him get comfortable. Could not recommend her more!!!”

The Simple Process

1. Plan

We’ll meet virtually or in-person for no-obligation consultation. I’ll get to know all about the special relationship between you and your dog. I have a TON of perfect location ideas that will help us create magical artwork together.

2. Fun-filled portrait session

Our portrait session together is stress-free, pet-led, and fun! Your dog sets the pace for the session. I don’t watch the clock so if your dog needs more time to warm up or a few breaks then you are in the right place. No need to stress about how your dog is performing, I’ll direct you on posing and how to hold the leash. I’ll be sure to show you a few photos in the camera so you can see how awesome your dog is doing.

3. Enjoy your artwork

Your pets are works of art. They deserve to be displayed lovingly in your home rather than lost in a file folder on a computer. After our fun portrait session we will set up a time where you get to view your images. I have an easy process to help you select your images an choose the artwork. I’ve carefully curated products that are heirloom quality and designed to last generations!

FAQ

``Abby was amazing with Luna..easing her into the photo shoot..``

My pup and I just finished up a session with Abby and it went wonderfully! My dog, Luna, is very shy and has difficulty feeling comfortable around new people. Abby was amazing with Luna, easing her into the photo shoot and making sure she felt at home in the surroundings. It is apparent that Abby is passionate about what she does and cares deeply about our furry friends. I highly recommend working with Paws Fur Joy for all of your pup photo needs. She is not just an excellent photographer but an amazing and compassionate individual which shines through in her work.
