A Custom Portrait Experience
A fully guided studio session in Laguna Niguel or Solana Beach Studio, focused on the relationship you share with your senior dog. Family or significant others are welcome (and other pets too). This is a custom experience designed around you and your pup.
A Personalized Artwork Design Appointment
After your session, we’ll meet to design custom printed keepsake artwork. This piece is personal. It’s meant to be treasured and enjoyed for years to come.
Images and artwork are not included and are purchased separately.
YOUR PURCHASE OF PRINTED ARTWORK INCLUDES
A Feature in the upcoming Tails of Love book.
Your dog will be featured in a portrait, along with your story, as part of a collection celebrating your unique bond. The book is designed to inspire others and help raise much-needed funds for local rescues.
No worries! We’ve photographed countless dogs of all sizes and temperaments. We will take our time to let your dog settle and get used to his/her environment. Most of the dogs we photograph have unique personalities and quirks that make every session special 🙂
We had Debora do family photos in Balboa Park, I smile every time I walk by them hanging on the wall. She has a great eye and a way with kids. She even got my teenager to smile. You can't go wrong and will have photos that capture those cherished ages to enjoy through the years!Dewer Family ~ Solana Beach
Deborah is the best! She was able to corral an uncooperative toddler and puppy to get some great shots of the entire family. I have used her for everything from my wedding pictures, newborn baby pictures, family pictures, and even some tasteful boudoir pictures. She's been there to photograph all the important memories in my family's lives. Her pictures are tasteful, beautiful and unique. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a quality photographer.Studer Family

I did a boudoir photoshoot with Deborah and it turned out amazing. I felt completely at ease with her professionalism and expertise. Her studio is complete with awesome lighting and backdrops. I have shared my pictures with my girlfriends and have highly recommended her with the confidence they will be equally as satisfied. Thanks, Deborah! I love my pictures!!!Meghan M. ~ Solana Beach
Modern. Fun. Classic
Why Families & Their Dogs?
Capture heartwarming moments with your pets and your family.
We love capturing the connections that bring happiness into our lives. The bond between families and their dogs is truly heartwarming and inspiring…It’s an undeniable truth that we never get enough time with our dogs and their presence is always missed when they’re gone too soon.
These portraits serve as a lasting reminder of the countless moments of love, connection, and support shared with our dogs, just as family portraits encapsulate the love, togetherness, and joy within a family.
~ Gifted B&W STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION WITH YOUR DOG(S).($390 value)
~ $100 Bonus Voucher for artwork
This gift certificate can be applied toward the purchase of any artwork offered by the Studio during your ordering appointment.
~ PORTRAIT REVEAL & ORDERING SESSION VIA ZOOM or in Studio
This means you get to see all the fantastic photos captured during the session without even leaving your house! During this time, you will have the opportunity to purchase the images you like.
~ WARDROBE CONSULTATION
We will send our expert guidance and suggestions on what to wear for the portrait session. And we’re always here to help in case you have any questions.
~ $50 Donation to frosted faces (senior Dog rescue) with purchase.
Absolutely! While there’s NO obligation to buy, during your Zoom session about a week after your shoot to view your stunning portraits from the comfort of your own home. If you fall in love with any of the images (and we think you will), we’ll guide you through the options to find the best fit for you and your family. You can apply your gift certificate toward any purchase at that time.
We have you covered… during our Zoom consultation, we will cover clothing options. We often suggest neutral/dark tones, good textures, and clean lines…but we want you to be comfortable and the wardrobe still needs to be ‘you’.
Bring along your dog’s favorite squeaker toys, balls, and treats. That’s all you need as we rarely work with props…even their collars come off. we prefer to photograph dogs in the buff 😉 Having said that, if your dog has a beautiful dress collar, bow tie, or even an outfit that you love on him/her, bring it along and we’ll incorporate that into our session.
That depends…if you like the freshly groomed look, yes, please! Though some owners prefer the scruffy look…think of how you want to remember your pooch.
Either way, we do like to see your dog’s beautiful eyes. If your groomer handles this, make sure it’s done well in advance, as groomers can sometimes be a little heavy-handed with the scissors. It’s best to plan ahead or even do a light trim at home.
We specialize in wall decor for your home and Fine Art prints, which are accompanied by a matching digital file. We also offer a few digital-only packages upon request.
We are known for our timeless and classic B&W style but some clients love color. If you would like to order your portraits in color, please let us know during your session so we can provide you with color add-on options during your Zoom Ordering Meeting.
RE-SCHEDULE: Life events can arise, and there are times when we need to reschedule appointments in our calendar. We ask for 14 days’ notice to reschedule your session at no charge – you can reschedule only once. The new date must be scheduled within 3 months of your original session date. Rescheduling your session with fewer than 14 days’ notice will require an additional payment of $100. If you are rescheduling due to illness, there will be no additional charge, and your new session date will need to be re-booked within 30 days. CANCELLATIONS: Cancelling your session will result in the loss of your session booking fee or session retainer, although the amount does become a studio credit and can be applied to any type of future portrait session booked within 6 months of the date of cancellation.
