Teresa is phenomenal with animals, and she's equally as compassionate and patient with humans too! She's been photographing my puppers for over 10+ years and each time the photos bring light and love into my heart. This latest studio sitting I had my two dogs plus their BFF join the shoot. Yes, that's 3 puppers at once. Teresa was a patient and positive photographer with proven techniques to capture their personalities. I'll continue to partner with Teresa for years to come to chronicle my love bugs! read more

I was able to get a few photos taken with my cavapoo Piper at a doggie event hosted at The Westin St. Francis. Despite the chaotic environment with lots of noises and distractions, Teresa was able to capture really good photos. I am definitely considering doing a paid session with her down the road. Highly recommend! read more

Teresa was also so so sweet & kind! read more

Teresa is an incredible photographer who created an extremely memorable photo shoot experience for my family & our golden retriever puppy! We decided on Baker Beach as the location and it was perfect. Our puppy had the best day of his life running around and capturing all sorts of poses. Teresa created a very fun experience and the photos were AWESOME. We're excited to have a number of them blown up for large prints (and Teresa had great recommendations on that front). Teresa is extremely communicative, had a fast turnaround, and knows how to make this experience fun & memorable. Thanks Teresa!! =) read more

Teresa was incredible to work with for the entire process - from a quick response for a quote, detail answers to my questions, scheduling, options, photo shoot, turnaround time of photos, qualify of photos.

Teresa and Suzanne are truly amazing. I say this because anyone that can get Frankie to pose and sit still is a miracle worker! The pictures came out adorable! My little Frankster had soo much fun running around with the squirrel and being mischievous but T&S were patient and persistent. The shots prove it.. You can check them out under my pics.. Frankie truly is a handsome devil. read more

Suzanne and Teresa of pet poses are AWESOME!!! I first met them at GG park for the Alice summer thing about a year ago. I have a really cute dog, and I think they saw that too and started taking some pictures of him playing. Then they pulled out there professional picture taking backdrop and blew my mind. They are able to capture my dog's personality in pictures in the most awesome way. His quirky qualities are highlighted in the sweet little faces only they can get him to make. Not only do they do a great job taking the picture, and getting dogs (and cats) to show their souls through the pictures, they do it at an INCREDIBLY affordable price. We have seen them three times now (once in the park, we tried with Santa, but Chuli didn't like him, so we did Christmas photos with a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, and once for "family photos") and have such an amazing album to show off of our little baby to friends and family. You have to see them! you won't regret it! read more

I thought I should mention that since I've been there, they raised their prices to $250 for the basic package. This is still a good rate compared to other photographers offering similar services, and I think it's a great deal for what you get. I'm pretty sure anyone who has tried photographing their pet knows how difficult it is to get some good shots, and Teresa and Suzanne do incredible work. Between their high-grade equipment, artistic eye(s), attention to detail, photo editing know-how, and their ability to capture the perfect pose through patience and understanding of the pet psyche~ you're guaranteed to get some pictures you can treasure for a lifetime. I've had three photo sessions with them so far, and have been really happy with the results. They do great holiday photos for people who want to send out professional quality cards. read more

I just had a photo shoot with Teresa for my 1-year-old dog Bailey along with 2 of my family members. Teresa loves what she does, so we all had so much fun taking photos with Bailey for an hour. It didn't seem an hour, and I wanted to more shots! I was impressed by how experienced Teresa was with getting a dog comfortable and getting his attention. She has been doing it for many years, so she knew what she was doing. We did all permutations of 3 people and Bailey and was even able to do some shots with Santa hats. She gave us 150 raw photos so I was very happy about that. For all that she does, she also doesn't charge that much. I highly recommend her for your professional doggie photos! read more

Tony & Coco loved their session (which is saying a lot with my two crazy dogs). Suzanne and Teresa were very relaxed, yet focused on creating an environment to support the dogs' personalities showing through. We brought a few props and took many pictures of the dogs together and separately. The session was a gift for a 50th birthday for a friend (Coco's mom) and they were very conscious of meeting the deadline and communicating with me. The end product of a disc with lots of pics was fantastic. We plan to have Suzanne and Teresa print some larger shots for us, as well as do the framing. Their prices are very reasonable. Fantastic experience and product. 11/24/10: Just entered the pic of Tony that is my profile pic in a contest on Facebook to become Boomerang Pet Tags profile pic and he won! More kudos for Suzanne and Teresa! read more

Total: 4.5 stars overall 5 stars for service and professionalism 4 stars for photo quality (5 stars for original photos, but 3 stars for special effects photos) We brought our husky-akita mix dog to Teresa's photoshoot and had a nice time. It was our first time having a professional photoshoot with our dog and did not know what to expect. We weren't sure if Antar would be able to sit still (it was still challenging, as he loves to explore), and Antar is generally a camera-shy dog. Teresa was very friendly and professional. She was great with Antar and was able to elicit some cute facial expressions from him, as well as some genuine expressions that reflect how our dog looks in daily life. She processed the photos and delivered it efficiently through dropbox, which was great. I love the original copies of the photos, but not so much the re-touches or fancy effects. Teresa also helped us frame one of Antar's photos, and it turned out great! She is very responsive and was helpful throughout the process. I would recommend her to other dog owners who want to have their portraits taken. read more

I've been using Pet Poses Photography for about 3 years now. All of our pictures with our dog(s) always come out wonderful! Teresa and Suzanne are just loveable pet people and they treat your pets as they would their own. The price is just right and they load all the pics on cd and mail it to you very fast! I've tried other photographers but nothing compares to Pet Poses, especially the price for what you get. And the smiles and love they give to your pets too. That's priceless! Highly recommend them! read more

Had a very fun session with Teresa and my 2 dogs. The studio was in the garage and it was casual, relaxed and dog friendly. We chatted for a while so the dogs would have time to calm down and get accustomed to the new surroundings. The pictures she took were great and some were really funny ones. Teresa has a very calm energy which we all loved. I never felt rushed and she took lots and lots of photos. She has a gift with working with pets that for sure. The most fun photo shoot . It was the highlight of our day. read more

I did two photo sessions with Pet Poses and can't say enough wonderful things about Teresa and Suzanne and the pictures. The first time I had them out to my house for my dog's "one year birthday" pictures. Teresa and Suzanne were great to work with and they spent a lot of time making my little guy feel comfortable. I received a CD with not only awesome pictures but a great variety - action shots, souful looks, multiple locations and backdrops (all in my house). The second time I had them out was just after I learned that my beautiful little guy had kidney disease and was not expected to live for longer than 3 months (hah - we got 5 years and 9 months!!). Needless to say I was a little emotional and Charlie had just gotten out of the hospital. Nevertheless, the pictures were gorgeous. We even went to the park and I have mutiple shots of Charlie playing with other dogs, running in the park, sniffing doggie bums (his favorite activity). Priceless. The problem was choosing which shot off the CD to blow up! It's been 5 1/2 years and I still can't decide. Teresa and Suzanne are warm, friendly, easy-going, and take great pride in their work. They got beautuful shots of my little guy and the photo session was great fun. read more

I bought their LivingSocial Special which was a 30-minute photoshoot with complimentary access to the photos on their Dropbox. I emailed them and Teresa was very quick about getting back to me to schedule a date and time. When we got there, Teresa was very good about helping my little bunny start adjusting to the climate. We let him run around a little bit, but he gets nervous easily (duh, he's a rabbit!); but as the shoot went on, he got more and more comfortable. We started with a few family shots (my girlfriend was here visiting), then she had each of us pose with the bunny individually. She then did a lot of shots of just my bunny, and finally was kind enough to do some shots of just me and my girlfriend! We both really appreciated that. Teresa was super excited the entire time. I'm not sure they've ever done a bunny photo shoot before, but luckily Horchata (yes, that's my rabbit's name) started getting really comfortable, and thus, really cute. She got some great pictures of him cleaning his face. I brought an Easter Basket since it was a couple weeks before Easter, and her pictures of him in it were adorable. A week after the shoot she sent me 4 preview pics, 3 of which were of Horchata in the easter basket. These were just in time for Easter and made both my girlfriend and myself excited to see the others. A month later, just as she promised, she sent us the link to the DropBox folder. We were incredible surprised and loved the photos! I would definitely go again. I really liked the experience and I loved all my photos of my precious bunny :) Thank you Teresa!! read more

Teresa is great to work with! She is friendly and made us all feel at ease, even the furry family member. Teresa is patient waiting for Nillie to look at the camera. I'm so happy with our photos! I would definitely recommend her and come back to take pictures again. read more

Suzanne & Teresa are amazing! They are so incredibly sweet and talented. From being flexible to scheduling our appointment to letting us park in the driveway, they make sure you feel right at home. Shortly after our meeting we received a CD in the mail... AND THE PICTURES... when you love your pet as much as we do having the perfect picture is the best!! The pictures turned out absolutely adorable!! Stanford, our pup, was the star! They made sure he felt very comfortable and his pictures showed it! We have some really beautiful shots!! One photo with all 3 of us is my favorite photo ever.... They were really able to capture us as a family. There are so many great shots. I know these are pictures we will last us a lifetime!!! read more

FYI: this is our first review on yelp, we just had such a great experience with Teresa (of Pet Poses) we had to inform people! Teresa was exactly what we were looking for. As college students, our dog, my girlfriend and I are on a tight budget, and before we transfer to our 4-year we wanted to leave our folks with something to remember all of us by. Her price was perfect and the photos turned out as we imagined. She is well experienced and a pleasure to work with and her personality put us at ease (even after our tardiness, sorry again Teresa). It was great how eager she was to listen to our photo ideas and how easily she turned them into reality. We will do business with Teresa again, and we would highly recommend her to our friends and anyone who wants their pictures taken with their pups. read more

She may be a great photographer.... IF you ever get to see your pictures. All went well with the process of scheduling and attending the photo shoot. At the end of the shoot, she said she would send me the pictures in approximately three weeks. Three weeks?? Yikes! Ok. So I waited.... At four weeks, I contacted her to check on my pictures and she said that she was running behind but our shoot was up next. I figured I would hear something in the next couple days. It has now been over eight weeks since our session and I have received nothing from her nor have I received any response to my subsequent requests asking for the status of my pictures. read more

When I showed my sister the studio portrait of my cat, Foxy, with a red rubber ball, she said, "That doesn't look like Foxy. It looks like a professional kitty!" No professional kitty, just a very professional photographer! The portraits of my dog, Bandit, came out great, too. Teresa and Suzanne have an obvious love for animals and for the craft of portrait making. One note: their studio presents a bit of a challenge if your pet is a rambunctious cat. All the more reason to choose the option of having the shoot in your home. read more

I can't say enough good things about the lovely ladies of Pet Poses, Suzanne and Teresa. Lucy and I had a photo session with them at South Paw Bath & Feed House in SF in September, and the resulting photos were amazing! Their prices are very reasonable, and unlike most photographers, they will give you a CD of all the photos they take so you can upload them, make prints, etc. They really captured the most adorable aspects of my little Labradoodle's personality, and I will always treasure these photos. read more

We brought out dog and cat to Pet Poses for a photo shoot for the upcoming holidays and we were very pleased with the outcome. We felt that the owners were warm and friendly and had great phone and email communication prior to the day of the photo shoot. The prices were very reasonable and the best part of all was the CD of the photos that they sent to us. This allowed us to print as many photos as we wanted and we were able to share them with friends and family. There are other pet photograpehrs out there that do really good work (as evident by their web pages) but they charge a lot more. I'd rate them a 4.5 out of 5 star for the professionalism and quality of the photos that resulted. We will most likely go back to them next holiday season. read more

Teresa was great! Very patient with our two dogs and a our 6 month old child! I am not sure who was harder to deal with - the parents or the 'kids' but she did an amazing job! The pictures turned out much better than we expected and we'll definitely be back! Thank you, Teresa! read more

We just had our photoshoot with Teresa and our Maltese, Cooper, and it was great to have a photographer who wasn't worried about time, but more about the quality of the shots taken. Cooper was very comfortable, and the pictures turned out well. You can tell that Teresa enjoys her work, and it shows with the pictures that we got from our shoot. read more

Teresa was amazing. She was very patient with us and with our dogs. Everyone felt comfortable and it shows in the pictures. The dogs look both natural and beautiful at the same time. And she managed to capture their true character. Highly recommend! read more

Teresa was professional, kind and really understood how to get the best poses our of my large boisterous dog in just a 30-minute shoot. If you can get over the fact that the studio is a large garage (though with proper background set-up), it's a good place to get your pet pics done. Prices are reasonable, the photos came out great, and best of all, you don't have to deal with the photographer-nazis who insist on maintaining control of your pics -- Pet Poses just gives you the e-file of the photos and you can do whatever you want with them. We had our photos back, nicely photoshopped, within 2 weeks and they looked fantastic -- crisp, clear and she really captured the "fun" part of the shoot. read more

Teresa was quick, had good ideas, and patient with our energetic welsh-corgi. She did a great job capturing the personality of the dog (look for a shot of a corgi with a rubber chicken on her web site). And she took a few bonus shots of just my wife and I. It's clear she did some retouching because I don't look that good in real life. Highly recommended . read more

Had a great experience with Theresa! The way that her studio is in her garage made me feel super comfortable. It was a very relaxed photo shoot, not stuffy at all like I imagined. I love the group pics & she made my lil hyper pup look amazing! I mean he is very adorable on his own but these pics really made his glow! I would recommend her to any friend or family who wants there furry loved ones in there family portrait! read more

Loved our photos!! We have three dogs, one of whom is a senior who we really wanted som shots of ASAP. Pet Poses was able to accommodate our quick scheduling needs. Teresa's calming nature and patience was amazing! Imagine three dogs all different ages and breeds and two adults!! We got great shots with each dog, groups of dogs, etc. Through it all Teresa helped guide us and our dogs. It made our hour seem so short!! We got a number of great shots!! Can't wait to do more! read more

Teresa is amazing! My husband and I hired her a few years back to photograph our then 16-week old puppy and recently hired her again to photograph him with his kitty brother. What a wonderful time we had! Teresa is so warm, respectful, creative, intuitive and patient. We were thrilled (once again) with the pictures. I am certain we will hire Teresa again and highly, highly recommend her! read more

I had the best experience getting a photo shoot done for my mom's dog as a mother's day present. Teresa and Suzanne are both really gifted at what they do as proven by all of their amazing pictures. I'll post the pictures soon and you can see for yourself what a great job they did. Their prices are very reasonable and they are just great people who love their job. read more

We took our 5 month old twins AND two labs to Pet Poses for a group shot and had a blast. Suzanne and Teresa were able to get great shots of all the wiley creatures involved. And the shots of our boys are especially adorable, not your typical posed, kid photography. They also have really good tricks for getting great expressions -- from everyone! To me the price was very reasonable and I got all the photos on a CD in less than a week. read more

Suzanne and Teresa are amazing photographers! I was pleasantly surprised at how easily they related to my Shiba Inu and captured him on camera! He's normally a shy guy that is spooked out by the flash and camera. I literally just came from the photo shoot and I'm really excited to get the CD of photos in the mail soon. I saw some samples of the shots Teresa captured and I almost cried! They captured my little guy perfectly! We even left with a little souvenir (the famous squirrel)! I'll definiftely be back!!! Thank you Suzanne and Teresa for priceless memories... read more

We took our little boys, two cats for a session with Teresa. Cats are more challenging than dogs because they get nervous, want to hide and want to explore their surroundings before they feel comfortable. Teresa was great with them! She was very patient and took a lot of time to get the shots we wanted. We are very pleased with the session and the final images. read more

My wife and I are extremely happy with the photos by Pet Poses!! Owners, Teresa and Suzanne are very professional but at the same time very down to earth. It helped to keep things relaxed and fun. For us, we had them come to our house and they rolled out their professional white back drop, lights, flashes, laptop, and turned our family room into a very professional photo studio. They were just awesome in getting us and the dogs in the right poses and using little tricks here and there to get the attention of both our dogs. The photos are amazing! We hired them because we saw their portfolio on their website and we really liked the fact that they captured the spirit and soul of the dogs. They did a great job of capturing the fun, smiling, curious nature of our corgis. It's exactly what we wanted. Their rates are very reasonable and included is a CD with all of the photos and two 8x10's. We opted to have both of them framed by them. Yes, they do that too! My wife and I are very picky when it comes to professional services and quality of the product. We would not be writing such a glowing review if we didn't feel that they deserved it. They definitely do and we highly recommend them. read more

Teresa and Suzanne are wonderful photographers and also very patient people! They manage to capture the "heart" of the pets they photograph. For the past 3 or so years I have a picture of my dog taken for a holiday card and it's always hard to decide which of the photos to use - they're all great! read more
