The Birthday Experience

​

Because another year with your dog is absolutely worth celebrating.

The Birthday Experience is for the dog moms who aren't looking for just a few birthday portraits. This is their day — more time, more images, more personality and a full birthday setup designed to make their big milestone feel like the event it obviously is.

Whether they're turning one, five, ten, fifteen — or you've completely lost track because every day has been approximately seven years since you brought them home — we'll create something that feels like your dog.

We'll have time to let them explore the studio, get comfortable, investigate everything I've put within sniffing distance and settle into the experience at their own pace. Then we capture the party hats, the goofy faces, the beautiful portraits and all those little expressions you know immediately because you've looked at that face approximately 8 million times.

Want to Make It Completely Them?

Have a dog who needs something beyond a traditional birthday setup?

Let's get ridiculous.

Maybe they're obsessed with tennis balls. Maybe they're named Dolly and clearly require a tiny country music moment. Maybe their entire personality revolves around snacks. Maybe you've had an idea saved in your phone for three years and just need someone willing to say, “Yep. We can build that.”

Custom birthday concepts are available for dogs who deserve their own completely personalized set. We'll dream up the idea together and create something based around their personality, favorite things or whatever wonderfully unhinged concept you've been imagining.

Custom builds requiring specialty props, materials or extensive set design will be quoted before booking.

It's More Than a Birthday Photo

Birthdays have a funny way of sneaking up on us.

One minute they're the new dog taking over your house, and somehow you're suddenly celebrating another year together.

These sessions are fun — really fun — but they're also about documenting exactly who your dog was in this season of their life.

The frosting-covered face. The gray hairs that weren't there last year. The ridiculous expression they've made since they were a puppy. The way they look at you.

Because someday, these won't just be birthday photos.

They'll be this year with them.

And that feels pretty worthy of a party to me.
