Family Portraits with Dogs in Dallas-Fort Worth

You are always behind the camera. It is time to be in the picture.

“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day.”
– John Grogan

If you are like most pet parents, you have hundreds of photos of your fur kids on your phone. But are you in any of them? The moments you share with your pet, burying your face in the fur of their neck, stroking their soft ears, kissing the top of their nose, deserve to be captured too.

Everyone considers their pets part of the family, and your portraits should reflect that. I have photographed families with one dog, families with four dogs, and everything in between. The more the merrier.

As we plan your session, we will cover everything from how to prepare and what to wear to the best Dallas-Fort Worth locations for your vision. I will guide you through every step so you can relax and enjoy it. As with all of my services, your satisfaction is guaranteed.

There is no way we can include the dogs in our family portraits

"She is professional, patient, and incredibly kind to work with. She defied all odds with our crazy 2 year old lab and got a one of kind family moment with our dogs. We loved every moment she captured and cannot wait to work with her again!"

I'm worried we won't get any good pictures

"Tracy was wonderful and was able to direct us through a distracted toddler and a senior dog. Through the chaos, I wasn't sure if we had gotten any good shots, but Tracy was able to get at least 50 wonderful shots that made it so hard to choose from! Highly recommend!"

My family doesn't have the attention span for a portrait session

"Tracy went above and beyond to meet our (unconventional) request, and she far exceeded our expectations. She is skillful behind a camera, which is especially difficult when you’re capturing pets and children (and sometimes husbands 😆). Her images are high quality, and she will be honest with how to capture the best images (poses, angles, lighting, background, etc.). She is efficient yet thorough, and we are already looking to schedule our next session with her."
