Dog Portraits
So You Never Forget the Details.
The nudge of their nose.
The sound of their paws.
The way they find you, no matter what room you're in.
Those aren't small moments. That's just your whole world, showing up for you every single day. These portraits are made for exactly that — for the bond that doesn't need a special occasion to be worth remembering.
We'll head out to the San Diego coast, follow their lead, and make something that actually looks like them. Like the dog you know. The one who, if we're being honest, is kind of everything.
What its like to be here
There's no script, no poses to hold or dog tricks to nail.
We show up, we let them lead, and we see what unfolds. Honestly?
The unplanned moments are almost always the best ones.
Some dogs arrive like they own the beach — sprinting, leaping, completely in their element. Others take their time, staying close, watching the waves like they've got something to figure out. Both are perfect. Your dog doesn't need to perform. They just need to be themselves.
Every portrait is carefully refined after your session — edited with the same attention and intention that went into making it. What you receive will feel polished and real at the same time. Because that's what they are.
The Full Portrait Experience
For those who want the whole story told — not just a moment, but a collection of them. This is the experience most families choose, and it's easy to see why.
We'll spend real time together on the coast — exploring, playing, slowing down when something beautiful happens. What you walk away with isn't just images. It's a body of work that reflects exactly who they were, right now, in this season of your life together.
Included: 60–90 minute photo-session, consultations, and a gallery of 50+ images to review. Your favorites once prepared, will be documented forever in a deluxe custom keepsake package that leaves nothing out. $500 reservation fee applied to final purchase.
Starting at $1,975
The Masterpiece Portrait
When you don't need a collection — you just need “the one”. One image that says everything, made without compromise, refined until it's perfect. Sometimes that's exactly enough.
And when you're ready to take it further — the Masterpiece Canvas is something else entirely. Hand crafted, hand painted with a varnish that gives it a painterly quality you can feel. The kind of piece that stops people in their tracks. That you walk past every day and still have to look at. An heirloom, not just a photograph.
Included: 30 minute coastal session, planning consultation, one competition-level refined portrait in an 8x10 matted archival fine art print. Social-resolution digital file included. $250 reservation fee applied to final purchase.
$850
Additional Subject — +$100
Optional Upgrade: Masterpiece Canvas includes high-resolution digital file.
The Legacy Portrait
Some seasons are quieter. Slower. You find yourself watching them a little longer, loving them a little louder — even when you don't say it out loud. If that's where you are right now, this is for you.
Legacy sessions are held with all the patience and gentleness that moment deserves. No rush. No pressure. Just presence — and the chance to make something you'll hold onto forever.
These sessions are available as either The Full Portrait Experience or The Masterpiece Portrait, depending on what feels right for you. Reach out and we'll figure it out together.

“Think Nat-geo for your pup!”
“The one thing that really drew me to Keala's page was 'Don't wait for a life event.' My dog is 16 and couldn't move like he used to. We did the photoshoot nine months before he turned 16 — when he could still run. It was the most perfect day, but that wasn't just by chance.
Keala researches locations, tides, sunrise and sunset, how busy a spot will be at certain hours. She does all of that work for you so you just show up and play with your dog. She was right there with us — laughing, getting in the sand, soaked by waves and not caring for a second. She was 100% there.
I will forever cherish these photos.”
Hurley’s Mom
You don't need a milestone. You don't need a reason. You just need a Tuesday, a leash, and a dog who deserves to be remembered exactly as they are right now.
Don't wait for a life event. Life is the event.
