Winston & Toby

In the morning light, they wake up slow, Stirring from slumber, ready to go. And as they stretch, they let out a sound, A wide, gaping yawn, that’s echoed around.

Their jaws part wide, their tongues unfurl, A long, deep breath, a sleepy swirl. A moment of peace, a moment of calm, A reminder to slow down, to take things in stride.

For dogs are creatures of simple delight, Who find joy in simple things, day and night. And in their yawns, we see a glimpse, Of the love and happiness, that they imprint.

So let us take a cue from our furry friends, And remember to yawn, to let out a sigh. For in those quiet moments, we find the grace, To live life fully, at our own pace.

"I just need to know she’s okay."
This is one of the most tender questions I receive.
In a session, I share what your pet wants you to hear—whether they’re with you or have passed on.
Often, it’s exactly what your heart needs.

“Are we the only ones who want to photograph our family and include our dogs?”
You’re not alone. In fact—you’re in the majority. 🐾❤️
Every week, families walk into our Chicago studio with the same wish:
“We want to celebrate our family, including the dogs who made it whole.”
Time moves fast. Dogs grow older. Life changes. That’s why so many families choose to capture these moments now—before they become memories.
This portrait of an elderly couple with their two beloved dogs is a reminder:
It’s never “just a dog.” It’s family.
📍Chicago pet and family photography that honors your story—furry family members included.

Why do we love photographing black dogs on black backgrounds? 🖤🐾
Because their fur becomes pure velvet under the right light. Capturing the rich texture and soulful expressions of black-coated dogs takes precision—and a professional eye.
At our Chicago pet photography studio, we specialize in lighting and posing that reveals the depth and beauty often missed in darker-coated pets. It’s a refined, timeless look—and one that requires technical expertise to do right.
If you have a black dog, let’s create artwork as stunning and unique as they are.
