The EXPERIENCE

Your family is special, no matter what it looks like. Maybe it's the beautiful chaos of kids and dogs just being themselves. Maybe it's just you and your heart dog. Or the old soul you're not ready to let go of. I capture it all: the bond, the joy, the moments you'll want to hold onto forever.

Whether it's a champion in the ring, your heart dog at home, or the whole family together, every session gets the same attention. These are some of my favorite portraits from sessions throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, Ann Arbor, and beyond.

For every stage of your story

Celebrate the bond you share with your dog. Perfect for families who want stunning portraits of their beloved pets, whether it is one dog or the whole pack.

The dog is always invited. Natural, joyful portraits of your family enjoying time together with the pets who complete your home.

For breeders and handlers who want more than a snapshot. From champions to hopefuls, images worthy of their legacy.

Yes, I can get your puppies to pose

From full litters to multi-dog families, I have the patience to get everyone looking their best — yes, all at once. Whether it's a dozen eight-week-old puppies or your pack of five, I work with breeders and families throughout North Texas and nationwide.

Published work

I started photographing my own dogs — because they meant the most to me.

I'm Elizabeth. Dogs have been my best friends since I was eleven. My current crew includes Fred, a 15 year old Border Terrier who feels like he's been with me forever and somehow no time at all. I know exactly why you want these portraits. That's why I do this.


My work has been featured on book covers, in dog industry publications, and in magazines worldwide. But what I love most is being part of your story. Whether I'm wrangling kids and dogs who won't sit still or photographing a champion at the top of their game, I treat every session like it's going on a cover. Same focus. Same care. You deserve nothing less.

My clients tell me I capture their dog exactly as they see them. And I hear it all the time: "I can't believe you got that." Even when the dog had other plans, you'd never know it from the final image. I'll guide you, adjust as we go, and stay patient until we get exactly what you're looking for. The result? Portraits that stop you in the hallway.


I'm based in North Texas and photograph sessions throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, including Highland Park, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Denton, Southlake, Flower Mound, and Colleyville — plus Ann Arbor, Michigan and anywhere else the work takes me.


Printed portraits become part of your life, something you see and love every day.

Walk past your favorite portrait every day and feel that same joy. Hand Crafted Canvas, framed prints, and metal. Each piece is crafted to museum standards and designed to last a lifetime.

A client favorite. Coffee table albums tell the whole story of your session and complement your wall art, so you can enjoy both every day. Keep it on the coffee table, bring it out when family visits, take it with you wherever life goes.

Trios for your desk, ornaments for the tree, keepsake boxes you'll open again and again. Small enough to tuck anywhere, meaningful enough for you to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most sessions are outdoors at a location that fits your family and your dog. I'll help you find the perfect spot. Studio portraits also available.

Most sessions run about an hour, sometimes up to two. We're never rushed, but we won't drag it out if you or your dog aren't having fun. The best portraits come from happy people and dogs.

That's my specialty. I thrive in chaos, and some of my best photos come from sessions where the owner swore their dog wasn't cooperating. I've got tricks up my sleeve and a bag of toys to keep everyone interested. I promise we'll get something beautiful, and you probably won't even remember your "naughty" dog once you see the final images.

Same approach. I'm patient, I go with the flow, and I capture real moments — not forced smiles. Some of my favorite images come from the chaos.

Absolutely. I photograph everything from single portraits to full litters and your whole family with all their pets.  The more, the merrier!
