dog portrait photography gallery


I LOVE dogs. From the low riding dachshunds to the gentle giants that are the Cane Corsos, I love them all.

I love the goofy Labrador retrievers, the elegant greyhounds, the loyal pit bulls (my personal favorite) and the clowns disguised as Frenchies. I love the gorgeous coat that the golden retriever wears, the intelligence of the poodle, and the protective spirit of the German shepherd.I love the wrinkles of the sharpei, the dreadlocks of the Komondor and the sleekness of the whippet. I even love the howling of the beagle . . . sometimes. :-)

The images displayed on this gallery are grouped according to background color. If you are wondering what YOUR dog would look like on a particular color, please ask. I will likely have images from the archives that are similar to your dog that I can send to you.

Jane has done photo shoots for several of our dogs over the years and the photos always come out amazing. She is so good with the dogs (and SO PATIENT), somehow really getting their personality into the photo. Having professional photos of your pets (she does it all! chickens, bunnies, cats, dogs) is truly special, highly highly highly recommend. -- Sonya
