Your pets are your family members. You deserve photos you’ll love (almost) as much as them.
Pet photography, and family photography that includes pets, in Loudoun County, VA, and the surrounding area.
I’m a professional pet photographer specializing in dog photography, cat photography, and family photography that includes your dogs, cats, or other pets. Our pets are family members, and I believe it’s important to have portraits that capture their personalities and the relationship we have with them. Sadly, they don’t live as long as we do, which makes having great photos of them even more important.
Because I specialize in pet photography, I know how to work with dogs, cats, and other pets to create the best possible portraits of them, which includes:
I’m a Certified Professional Photographer through Professional Photographers of America and a Master of Animal Imagery through the Animal Image Makers.
I’ve been a pet photographer since 2009, and in that time, there has never been a dog or cat I couldn’t photograph. Almost all the dogs are on a leash when I photograph them, which I edit out later (see below). I also work with a dog handler who knows how to get dogs to relax. So you don’t need to worry if your dog isn’t trained or you don’t think he will behave. I will get photos of him that you’ll love!

“Ellen’s work is nothing short of AMAZING! The photos she took of my stubborn little Beagle princess captured her personality better than I could have ever imagined. Ellen was so easy to work with, listened to what I wanted and then made suggestions of her own. Everyone I have shared Trudy’s pictures with agrees with me — Ellen is excellent at what she does.” — Tammy, Trudy’s mom
“Ellen has taken pictures of all five of our dogs and we’ve been thrilled with the results. In addition to being a gifted photographer, Ellen has a real talent for capturing a pet’s personality in her photographs. And she’s a really nice person. We would highly recommend her.” — Colter’s parents
