ADVENTURES

DOG PHOTOGRAPHY

IN

The best part of my job? Without a doubt, it’s creating for each client a unique and artistic portrait they weren’t expecting - something truly special that they absolutely LOVE!

With beauty all around to explore, your dog photography session could be so much more than just a romp in a dog park. So come with me, lean into your adventurous spirit, and let’s create gorgeous photos!

TRUST

As a pet photographer, I adore dogs. With seven years of volunteering at animal shelters, I've photographed over 200 dogs of all kinds. If your dog needs special care, my Fear Free training experience will help keep them comfortable and content. My clients trust me to provide the best service with patience, kindness, and fun for them and their dog.

ALL PHOTOSHOOTS ARE GUARANTEED

The Photoshoot

During our photoshoot, your canine companion will typically be on a lead, adhering to leash laws. We'll explore picturesque locations, creating opportunities for both posed and candid shots. Feel at ease to indulge in cuddles and play with your furry friend; these moments often result in heartwarming and authentic captures of your unique bond. I'll be there to offer valuable tips to ensure we capture the finest shots, making this session a memorable and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet.

Don't worry if you think your dog can't do this. I've heard it all before and can help with any concerns. There are solutions for all worries, and if the first try doesn't work, I'll do a reshoot for free!

Photo Editing

At Keala Stevens Photography, what sets me apart are my photo editing skills. I dedicate a lot of time to perfecting each photo, removing imperfections like eye goop, tear stains, boogies, and saliva (in the dog world, that’s all the good stuff). I also edit collars and leads for an all-natural vibe. When humans are in the picture, I can work with complexions and bodies, smooth out wrinkled clothes, and tidy up stray hairs and pet fur. Once everyone looks great, I focus on improving the background by editing distracting people, houses, buildings, trees, and bushes. I go to great lengths to ensure that the final photo is stunning and meets your expectations.

Kind Words

“Working with Keala was absolutely amazing! She is extremely professional, detail-oriented, smart, and kind. She goes the extra mile to create the perfect portrait for you. We booked a legacy shoot for my senior pup and we are so happy with the results and will not only cherish the high-quality pictures forever but also remember the fun shoot we had with her.
Definitely booking with her again.”
