How it works
01. Apply
If your pup is the featured breed of the month, enter them in the giveaway by filling out our entry form. Once entries close, watch your inbox—everyone will get an email, whether you’ve won or are a runner-up!
02. Phone Consult
Winners will immediately schedule their phone consultation! This is a chance to discuss your pet’s needs, ask questions, and learn more about the Pet Portrait Experience. During the call, we’ll book your session, finalize details, and start exploring how you'd like to enjoy your final images.
03. Portrait Session
My sessions are outdoor, stress-free adventures. We’ll arrive early so your pet can get comfortable with me. We’ll start by capturing your pet at their best, then let them enjoy themselves—whether that’s getting muddy, splashing in water, or just playing around—while I capture those authentic, joyful moments.
04. In-Home Purchase Appointment
Together, we’ll narrow down your gallery to showcase your absolute favorite, must-have images. Once you’ve decided how you’ll enjoy them, we’ll choose your complimentary 8x10 print, design any chosen bespoke artwork, and finalize any purchases. I’ll be there to guide you, ensuring everything is tailored to your vision. Clients truly appreciate how stress-free and personalized this step makes the experience.
05. Delivery Day
I’ll personally bring any beautiful, custom pieces right to your home, ready to be cherished and displayed with love. If you need assistance, I’m happy to help with wall art installation. Your pet will get more love, treats, and praise from me because I just can’t help myself. For clients who are farther away or if you opt for just the 8x10 print, shipping is available.

I didn’t know I NEEDED a photo sesh with my pup but I soon learned I did and it was better than I could have imagined. I would recommend a sesh with her to anyone. You won’t regret it!

What makes DLA Photography different
Just as pet-obsessed as you are.
Stress-free sessions.
Clients often tell me how refreshing it is to work with a photographer who’s as passionate about pets as I am. I genuinely understand the deep connection you have with your pets because I feel the same way about mine.
A photographer you can trust.
I understand every pet is unique, so whether your furry friend is reactive, nervous, or full of energy, I tailor each interaction to ensure they feel safe and comfortable throughout the experience.
I handle everything for you—from helping you choose the best images to designing and installation. This way, your favorite photos won’t vanish into the digital void, lost and unseen in the hustle of everyday life.
My sessions offer a stress-free bonding experience for you and your pet, filled with laughter, love, and lots of tasty treats. It's all about enjoying the moment and capturing the joy of your special connection.
Let me print your photos for you.
Premium quality bespoke artwork.
My products are industry standouts, featuring fine art pieces custom-made in Italy and worldwide, museum-quality selections. Each piece is handcrafted to create something truly bespoke for you. And I have samples of it all!
High-Resolution digitals.
I get it—sharing your pet's photos online is a must! That’s why I include high-resolution digitals with each purchased art piece, so you can easily share those precious moments with everyone.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I completely understand your concerns, but rest assured, I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments. We’ll go over your pet’s possible challenges before we even meet, and each session will be tailored to keep them comfortable and safe. From secluded location options to my equipment that gives your pet space, I've got tricks up my sleeve for every pet!
-
Don’t worry! I have plenty of experience working with all types of pets, and I understand that not every pet will sit still or follow commands perfectly. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and a variety of techniques to capture great photos, even if your pet is feeling a bit stubborn or playful.
-
Yes! Most of my furry friends stay on their leashes during their photoshoot. In fact, since most locations are in public, I highly recommend we keep your pet safe on their leash. Using some photo magic, I can often edit out the leashes and collars from your pictures!
-
Absolutely! While I’m sure you have plenty of photos of your pets on your phone, you probably don’t have many of you together, right? Yeah, me too. Although my pet portrait sessions focus primarily on your pet, I always recommend capturing a few images of you together. I encourage everyone in your household to join in, even if it’s just for a few special images! During our phone consultation, we’ll talk about any specific shots you’d like and brainstorm ideas. Wardrobe help is optional!
-
I’m located near Seattle, WA, and offer a pre-selected handful of stunning locations for my Limited Edition session that are all within a 50-mile radius. From beaches and mountains to parks and rivers in-between, you'll get a wide variety of locations to choose from. If you’re interested in a session at a location of your choice, you can upgrade to a full session or get a customized travel quote.
-
I totally get it—living in the PNW means dealing with rain for what feels like 99.9% of the year! My general rule is that if there’s a 50% or higher chance of rain at the time of your session, I’m more than happy to reschedule and it won't count towards the requirement to book your session within 30 days of winning. I do keep an eye on several weather apps, including radar, in the week leading up to your session, so we’ll stay in touch as your date approaches.
In the summer, if it’s 80 degrees or hotter, or if there’s heavy smoke from forest fires, we’ll also reschedule and it won't count towards the requirement to book your session within 30 days of winning. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority.
-
Absolutely! With a full session, you can include all the pets in your household (up to two at no extra cost), a longer session (90 minutes!), the choice of any location, and benefit from an additional In-Home Meet & Greet appointment before the session. This extra step really helps me get to know your dog beforehand and gives us the chance to go more in-depth with planning, giving you more customization to your experience. Plus, the higher booking fee could be applied toward an eligible artwork purchase, giving you even more value!
-
Yes, I offer in-house, no-interest payment plans for eligible artwork orders only. Just ask for the details during your consultation or ordering session. Remember, your $50 refundable deposit to hold your session date can be used towards any artwork purchases as well!

Selecting your artwork has never been this easy! With physical samples of all the artwork I offer, you can see and feel each piece to envision how it will look in your home. Plus, you'll get a full preview of how any wall art will appear on your walls—sizes, colors, frames—all before you order.

“Pets ask for little but give so much in return, offering comfort in difficult times and happiness in the everyday. Their presence in our lives is a precious gift.”
MEET YOUR PET PHOTOGRAPHER
The pet-obsessed girl with a camera.
Are you also obsessed with all living creatures?
I can’t say exactly when my obsession with animals began—maybe it’s just been part of me since day one.
DLA Photography was born from this passion, with my adorable dog, Charlie Brown, leading the way as the face of the business. And honestly, who could resist her charm? She’s the perfect mascot!
What sets me apart is my deep love for pets and years of experience with animals. With a lifelong bond to herding dogs and a passion for volunteering at rescues, I bring a personalized touch to every session. Each experience is tailored to your pet, ensuring they’re comfortable and having fun. We’ll discuss their personality and preferences to create a stress-free, joyful adventure that captures the love and spirit that make your pet special.
“I cannot recommend DLA Photography highly enough. My pups and I went on a fun adventure into the mountains with her where she captured their wild spirits beautifully. She brought snacks for my dogs and instantly won their hearts.”
Entries open on December 1st!
