TL;DR: Working with Keri and getting professional photography for your dogs is an underutilized…read moreresource in life that (IMO) every dog parent should experience! When I worked in a doggie day care I saw Keri take all kinds of photos to be used for the daycare website. She was able to work with a plethora of dogs in one room and the final images turned out great! I didn't get to know/work with her personally but I was really impressed seeing the photos on the website; they really captured each dogs personality. Now that I have a dog, when I saw Keri's booth at the pet expo I knew there was no one else who could take the perfect photos of our family. As I write this, I just came home from our viewing session where we got to see the final photos and put in our order. THEY ARE AMAZING! They're even better than I could have dreamed! Our dog, Komori, is a very serious pup most of the time. He loves dogs more than people so trying to get him to smile during our session is like any parent trying to get their kid to smile. I was so shocked to see that Keri got a bunch of adorable photos of him smiling! I think it was the duck callers/noise makers. When Keri pulled those out Komori couldn't stand a chance. Along with being well prepared, she was great at communicating. I knew when/where we were gonna meet, where to park, how the session is gonna go, what kind of framing she's going for, etc. And she knows how to work with any kind of situation. Komori's not a fan of surprises so when a wave crashed that scared him he did not want to sit on the wall anymore. Luckily, Keri already thought of a way to get sunset photos without being near the waves. I also love how in the pre-photoshoot questionnaire she asks "what motivates your dog?" When I read that question it was clear that she understands and treats every dog she meets as the unique pup they are and that she's done this many times. Seriously, you will not be disappointed you made the decision to do a photoshoot for your dog.

It's a skill to capture wonderful memories and turn it into an amazing work of art. Though we are…read morenow in a world of advanced technology filled with many options to capture memories, whether it may be our smart phones, DSLR cameras, or GoPros, there are a select few who are talented in using that technology to make those memories look amazing. And then there are super amazingly talented people like Keri who can take photos of furry family members and showcase their beautiful individual personalities. My fur kid was super fortunate enough to work with Keri a few times. She does such an amazing job when it comes to capturing his smile, personality, and quirkiness. From the beginning and through the end of the photoshoot process, she always keeps an open communication with her fur-clients' managers. I always appreciated her consistency of communicating from providing tips on what to bring to the photoshoot to help her get the best shots, to location, to the day prior of the photoshoot, and to the post-photoshoot where you view her amazing work. Her work speaks for itself. She has the skill to take photos of your furry family members even if they may be camera shy or are hyperactive. She has a way to work with what she got and get that perfect shot. She's super experienced working with all types of furry kid personalities. Not only has she worked with my fur kid, but also worked with his other furry friends who all had amazing photos. I highly recommend her as your next pet photographer! You won't regret it!

I thought that was such a nice touch. They were so patient with my daughter especially throughout the whole process. And when it came time to go through photos, were so accommodating and and thorough! We will definitely be repeating customers!!

Her pricing is as low as $100 for 5 edited photos if there's a promotion running! You can also pick up extra photos from your gallery for $10 a photo too. I have two dogs that are polar opposites of each other. One is really friendly but super noisy and the other is reactive but listens well! I love that she is calm during the session so my reactive dog doesn't get excited. I honestly don't trust a lot of people to be around her because she's so unpredictable sometimes. The best thing of all is you can keep your dogs on a leash and she'll edit them all out for you. The leashes are honestly my biggest pet peeve. She's also done a photo for one of my friends that was really touching. She photoshopped a dog that recently passed away in the photo of their most recent dog. I thought that was really sweet of her to do!

I've only had two interactions, one photoshoot, with her and I am so jealous of the next state that she gets to call home. Hawaii is going to be missing a wonderful family and absolutely extraordinary pet photographer. So you may know her for her beach and outdoor photos, but when I scheduled our session I asked for something very opposite. My husband is not much a photo taker since his whole life was recorded on camera and I really wanted to document nice family photos of our staycation. Also Komori (the real important one) is not an beach or outdoorsy pup unless he's at a dog park so I asked Ashley how she felt about shooting at a hotel we were staying at. I was so glad she was up and ready for the different environment. She's fun and professional and knows her way around bonding with pups that allows her to get the shot that everyone wants. Big eyes, silly tongue, double cheek kisses, everything you could ask for and more. I am truly grateful for her the and in awe at the effort that she puts into capturing every families important memories. The investment is so worth it over and over again.

I met savanah on the beach where the photo session was held. We did a combination of solo pics, sibling duo pics, and also pics with the humans (me!) lol. She definitely had quite the challenge up her sleeve as she did not know that one of my dogs was mostly blind at this point and had a forward head tilt. However, with some brainstorming and some teamwork we were able to make it happen where her head would pop up for very short limited times. The other challenge was my second dog was very vocal the entire time and would not stop talking. With their powers combined it created chaos in different ways (hahaha) I'm so very grateful that she is very patient and has a calm personality which helped a lot with our session which is what you want for a dog photographer!
