Artwork-Worthy Portraits For Dogs & The People Who Love Them

Based in Raleigh, North Carolina + beyond

Your bond is like no other.

From the everyday routines to life's biggest milestones, our dogs are there through it all.

They make us laugh, comfort us when we need it most, and leave an impression on our hearts that last a lifetime.

They are more than just dogs—they're family.

Our goal is to create beautiful artwork that celebrates the connection you share and preserves these memories for years to come.

What Makes Our Sessions Different

Every session is designed around your dog being… well, a dog.

Sniffing, wiggling, zooming, cuddling, taking breaks—it’s all part of the process.

I’m expertly trained in dog body language and behavior, which means your session stays relaxed, safe, and fun for everyone involved.

✨ Easy, guided experience for both you and your dog
✨ Natural interaction along with posing direction
✨ Bold, vibrant imagery and variety from your session
✨ Finished heirloom artwork made to last that we design together

The result? Images that feel full of life and love—and artwork you’ll love seeing every single day.

Joanne is absolutely wonderful! I booked a session with her for my two dogs and it exceeded every expectation. I was a little hesitant with having two dogs, but Joanne made it super simple. She was able to grab and keep their attention and focus very easily. My girls LOVED her and the treats and squeakers she brought to our session. She was very thorough leading up to our session with location details, time frames, and everything in between. I would highly recommend Joanne to anyone with fur babies! The photos I got back truly made my jaw drop. Dogs have such short lives and I am so grateful that I’ll have these photos to cherish forever. Thanks again Joanne for an irreplaceable experience.

Joanne is not only an amazing photographer, but also a wonderful human! She was such a joy to work with, created amazing photos of both our older dog and our puppy, and was cognizant of both their personalities and abilities during our session. The preparation she put in by getting to know us and our dogs ahead of our session made it so easy to get comfortable when we arrived and she came prepared with everything we could have ever needed - tasty treats, water, a long leash, toys, and enough interesting noise-makers to get the attention of any distractible pup! I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking to capture beautiful, lasting memories with their pups.
