San Diego Photography
FOR DOGS, EQUINE, & THEIR PEOPLE
REIMAGINE
YOUR
PORTRAITS
BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
You love your dog like no other. I know, because you’re here.
And because you probably already have or are going to show me, the HUNDREDS of dog pictures sitting on your phone.
What’s stopping you from having portraits you love so much they’re in your home not your device?
A Story to be Told.
Unleash what you think a dog session is, and come with me for an adventure big or small • It’s time to tell ‘her’ story • It’s time to capture everything about ‘him’ and the reason he’s never far from your side • It’s time for photography that deserves a wall all its own.
I’LL BET ONE OR MORE OF THESE THOUGHTS HAVE CROSSED YOUR MIND …
I won’t get the photos I want because my dog’s not trained.
A leash is a MUST for my dog, so this isn’t going to work for me.
I want it but can I afford it?
RESET YOUR MINDSET
Because, what if I told you
✔ Okay photos are not okay with me. All my photoshoots are guaranteed.
✔ 90% of the dogs I work with are your average semi-trained dogs on lead. Beautiful photos are 100% achievable.
✔ For those of us whose dogs are family, we can’t afford not to do this. AND payment plans are available for your convenience.
AND WHY HIRE A “PET” PHOTOGRAPHER?
Pet Parents need Pet Photographers
A pet photographer understands and works well with animals and has tricks of the trade to manage unexpected situations.
A pet photographer understands what your pet(s) mean to you.
Pet photographers are Photoshop wizards—because animals don’t automatically look + smile in our direction when we say “Cheese”.
Time goes by quickly for dogs. Before you know it, your bestie will lose the pep in his step and white hairs will sprout overnight.
“Keala was amazing! Not only is she so talented (I am blown away by the results of our shoot!!) but she is so accommodating and went above and beyond to make our shoot a fantastic, magical experience. She made me and my dog feel at ease. She was patient, kind, and seems so patient about her job. Forever grateful for the work she delivered of my boy!”
~Ashley & Memphis

Meet Your Pet Photographer
Hi! I’m Keala, a professional portrait photographer. I work with dogs, horses, and their people in the San Diego area and beyond.
I believe the ordinary is extraordinary, and beautiful photographs aren’t just for weddings or maternity — people and their pets deserve stunning portraits too!
If you want photographs you can’t stop looking at, set aside all your worries because I’m here to help make that happen.
TIDE & TAILS
For dogs who believe the ocean is their PERSONAL SPLASH ZONE.
Ready for portraits as epic as your dog’s spirit? A Tide & Tails session takes advantage of low tides and soft, diffused morning light for striking, glassy reflections. And when the tide rolls back in, the energy ramps up, capturing the pure, joyful chaos of a dog at play in the waves and sand!

About Tide and Tails Sessions
SUMMER
May through August
Morning light offers flattering front-facing illumination, revealing every detail and true-to-life color with stunning clarity.
Sessions are timed around low tide and San Diego’s iconic May Gray and June Gloom, when the light is naturally soft and diffused.
On clear days, early start times mean we catch the golden hour glow.
July and August bring more sun and shifting tides—sessions may be shorter as we adapt to changing conditions.
Choose from à la carte sessions and products, or save with a full package: includes your session, a keepsake album set, a canvas wall piece, photographic prints, and digital files.
WINTER
Dates are TBD.
