A story
"From scheduling a session to ordering prints, Eric was easy to work with. On the day of the photos, it was fun and safe for both humans and dogs. My dogs are now in their senior years and I wanted to capture their zest for life. Not only did Eric accomplish this, his photos also captured their personalities in a very beautiful way."

Where sessions happen
Edmonton, outdoors.
We photograph outdoors across Edmonton: river valley trails, quiet neighbourhood parks, private yards, and familiar places your dog already knows. The location is chosen for light, comfort, safety, and your dog's temperament.
For nervous, reactive, elderly, or easily overwhelmed dogs, we plan quieter times and open spaces so the session can unfold without pressure.
The gallery

"What a great experience. Not only did we get amazing pictures, we had a wonderful time. Photographing a dog and capturing their personality is very difficult, and an experienced pet photographer makes all the difference."

After your session
From gallery to finished artwork.
The session is only the first part. Afterward, you are guided carefully from image curation through to finished artwork hanging in your home.

Your preview gallery
After your session, images are carefully reviewed and curated. A polished preview gallery, with colour adjustments, basic cleanup, and leash removal where possible, is typically ready within 7 to 10 business days.
02
A guided reveal
Review your gallery at home through a private online gallery, or we can meet for a more guided reveal appointment. I will help you choose your favourites, think through sizing and artwork options, and decide how to use your included artwork credit.
03
Finished artwork
After favourites are chosen, I complete the final retouching and finishing pass. Artwork is printed through Technicare, my Edmonton-based professional print partner, carefully packaged, and delivered.
Common questions
Questions before we begin.
Where do Edmonton dog photography sessions take place?
Most sessions happen outdoors in Edmonton's river valley, neighbourhood parks, private yards, or other familiar places your dog already enjoys. The final location is chosen around light, safety, comfort, and your dog's temperament.
Can my dog stay on leash for the whole photo session?
Yes. Dogs can stay safely leashed for the entire session. Leashes can often be minimized through posing, camera angle, or editing when appropriate.
Do you photograph nervous or reactive dogs in Edmonton?
Yes. Nervous, reactive, shy, senior, and high-energy dogs are welcome. Sessions are planned around your dog's comfort, with quiet locations, space, patience, and no pressure to perform.
How much does pet photography cost in Edmonton?
Collections begin at $650 and include artwork credit toward finished prints, wall art, or digital images after your session.
What happens after my pet photography session?
After your session, your images are safely downloaded, backed up, and carefully reviewed. A polished preview gallery is typically ready within 7 to 10 business days. You can review it on your own through a private online gallery, or we can meet for a guided reveal appointment. Either way, I will help you choose your favourites, think through sizing and artwork options, and decide how to use your included artwork credit. After you select your favourites, I complete the final retouching and finishing pass. All artwork is printed through Technicare, my Edmonton-based professional print partner, and carefully packaged for delivery.
Do you offer Rainbow Bridge or end-of-life pet photography?
Yes. Rainbow Bridge sessions are gentle end-of-life pet photography sessions for pets with limited time, palliative care needs, a terminal diagnosis, or a scheduled goodbye.
How far in advance should I book a pet photography session in Edmonton?
Most clients book 3 to 6 weeks in advance. Summer golden-hour sessions and weekend spots tend to fill earlier. If your dog is in a terminal or palliative situation, Rainbow Bridge sessions can be prioritized on shorter notice.
How long does a pet photography session take?
Sessions are typically one to two hours, depending on the session type and your dog's comfort on the day. Legacy and Rainbow Bridge sessions are slower by design. The session always moves at your dog's pace.
Let's make something worth keeping.
