They did a great job of capturing photos of us and our dogs both individually and as a family. We loved the options to buy prints, collages and digital files. read more

Found this "photographer" in an add for photo candidates in IG. It's not hard to make black and white photos look good. Ignored me, then when I was vetted in an interview, never heard from them again. I was willing to pay for a photo of my family with my senior baby, but because I said I couldn't pay $1000 I was never contacted again. Left feeling hopeless. Stage 4 cancer. Never gave my loved ones the time of day. Cold and heartless to my situation. Ignored me, and never responded after I answered all their questions. If you don't have money, you don't matter to this business! read more

I responded to an Instagram ad looking for senior dogs. My experience was unforgettable and I got some of the most amazing portraits of my dog. Highly recommend. read more

My daughter had a dance photo shoot with Pipi recently and really enjoyed the experience. Pipi was kind, supportive and creative. The spot was warm and welcoming! Best Part was the way the shots turned out! We are stunned how beautiful they are, and we cannot wait to hang them up in our new home! read more

My wife and I had a family photography session with our elder dog, Sam. I'll admit that we both went in skeptical! We've been capturing memories with Sam on our phones for years! What went into a professional session that would be any different?! Little did we know, we needed this. Not only to celebrate Sam's long life with us, but his late brother Codie's too! We brought a portrait of Codie along with us, packed up Sam's blankets, and just went in with an open mind. We came out with a new set of memories with Sam being the star at the center of it all. I only wish we'd thought of doing this sooner with both dogs, but I think we honored them as best we could given the circumstances, with Pipi and her team's expert and caring help. read more

I called PiPi because I knew our time with our Staffordshire was sadly coming to an end. I wanted to get some great pictures of him and him with the family. With that being sad, Rooney (Staffordshire) is not very mobile and has bad hips. She was aware of this and asked all of the questions prior to the photo shoot. Pipi was very cautious and concerned for Rooney and made sure he was comfortable throughout the entire photo shoot. She got great photos of him. She was also very patient with our hyper and very energetic dog Dexxy (Yorkshire Terrier). She was very patient throughout the entire process. We decided to go with the collage of photos and the Zip drive. We are very pleased with Pipi. She was very patient and had amazing techniques to get the perfect photo of our dogs! read more

I called Pipi after my 14 year old dachshund was diagnosed with aggressive terminal cancer. I was told she had a couple months left so I wanted to get photos of her quickly. Pipi fit me on the schedule within a week or so and took such beautiful photos my father said, "whatever you paid your photographer was not enough." Pipi captured my whole furry family plus my toddler, too. She spent a good chunk of he day with us and was really committed to getting the shots I wanted. You have to understand that my dachshund predates my husband, child and even career - she's experienced almost every up and down with me, every move. When Pipi presented the final framed photos to me I sobbed with gratitude. She honored my wishes and captured my dog's personality perfectly. I couldn't be happier with Pipi's dedication, compassion and quality of her work. read more

Soulful Photography - Session Photography Near Me

I started following Pipi after we adopted one of our dogs from Oakland Animal Services two years ago. She posted about mini pet photo shoots and I jumped on it. My husband and I brought our 4 dogs and 2 1/2 year old son. She was super patient and brought loads of distractions for our dogs. Despite our rambunctious crew, Pipi got quite a few great shots (it was actually hard to narrow down our favorites). She also did a fantastic job of photoshopping leashes, collars and hands out of the pictures. The pictures arrived to us by mail in nicely wrapped custom packaging, with a handful of wallet sized photos (which was a really nice surprise!). Thanks Pipi! read more

I have seen many pet photographers who work with perfect dogs for their promo shots. Pipi used my insanely active dogs and was still able to get some amazingly adorable permanent memory shots of my pups! Her camera knowledge really shows in her ability to capture the true inner soul of my furry babies! Her prices are reasonable, her attitude is amazing and she truly loves what she can do for others. She is a pleasure to work with and I recommend her to everyone! read more

Great photography! Pipi's photos are magical. The tones and expressions she captured of my dog were absolutely beautiful. The session was not tiring at all. She allowed me to choose the location. The session felt short, and my dog had a great time throughout. Afterwards, I was so surprised at the quality and the variety of shots she was able to get. Breathtaking, magical results. I highly recommend Pipi and Soulful Pet Photography! read more

My wife and I recently adopted a french bulldog puppy, Daisy, with whom we are completely smitten. We were dying to get some great photos of her before she grows out of her puppy stage. After doing some research and interviewing a couple of photographers, we decided to work with Pipi and we are so glad we did! She was able to capture Daisy's spirit in multiple still and action shots. We were especially impressed by the action shots - Daisy was running around our yard like a crazy pup and somehow Pipi was able to get gorgeous shots of her. We were very pleased with our experience and would highly recommend Pipi's services! read more

If you are looking for a pet/animal photographer who is fun, caring, and professional, you should go with soulful pet photography! Pipi is amazing! I was so impressed with her creative thinking- she even integrated my 2 crazy toddlers into our pet photos and the pictures turned out marvelous. She really took the time to plan and capture the soul of my pets. She has great knowledge of animals and understands timing and what would make a great picture. Every pet/ animal is different but her patience and experience really helps capture the best photos! She is also very professional by being on time, and finishes your prints quickly. read more

My pup is very energetic and as soon as I took her off leash she bolted. Pipi was able to take some cool action shots. The photos came out great and really show her personality. This was a great experience and I recommend to other pet lovers. read more

Pipi took some amazing shots of my dogs which seems impossible given how spastic they are. I ordered two tryptics and a calendar. She personally delivered them all wrapped up with a red bow. Plus she threw in a set of wallet size pics of each dog. Definitely do this for yourself and your pets. read more

Pipi was so great with my senior dog, Lily. I wanted to get some cute professional picture of my dog taken, since everything i have is on my cell phones and never gets printed out. She met me at my house and we drove around to my dog's favorite places. The pictures turned out amazing! She captured her amazing smile. The photo album she made was perfect, and is now the center piece on my coffee table. If you want the perfect pictures of your 4 legged friends, call Pipi. She was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her more in the future. read more

Pipi is great with pets and people. She was extremely professional and kind and took amazing pictures. She really tries to capture the unique things that make your pet special to you and I couldn't love the photos anymore than I do. The prices for prints might seem expensive but that's because you're paying for the prints all the work it takes to edit them and put everything together along with delivery and it's completely worth it. read more

Delightful Pipi. Patient with our Stella. I will tout more when we see her photography.

Pipi did a wonderful job taking beautiful photos of my dog Dwayne, who generally hates to be photographed. She was incredibly professional and had a whole bag of tricks to get his attention and get him diverse poses. She also has a great eye for composition, so not only does the pet look great but the photos are high quality. Also all of the products she offers are very high quality (printing, framing, etc.) I would definitely recommend her services, especially if you have a hard time getting your pup interested in being photographed. read more

I had a lovely experience working with Pipi. She's not only very talented but patient, kind and completely open to going with the flow of the session. She's in the right profession given the amount of dog kisses she received working with my Oski! She catered to Oski's personality and energy - capturing an awesome action shot. The prints and album were wrapped with a red bow which is a wonderful touch. Bonus! She threw in a set of wallet size pics to give to all of Oski's favorite humans. I'd recommend booking an appointment today! read more

Pipi was more than amazing....she has the patience of Job...we have 2 golden doodles and then we added two more dogs so that we could have photos of all together. She met us for a pre-shoot, then set a date that worked for us all! Went to the dog park to tire out the dogs, and got lots of photos, then back to the house and the pool....she took some amazing photos of action shots of the dogs flying thru the air as they launched themselves into the pool! If you are looking for a great photographer for you and your pets, she is highly recommended.....you can't go wrong with Soulful Pet Phitography! read more

Pictures and holiday cards turned out fantastic! Can't wait to send them out in just a couple weeks. Thank you so much Pipi!

Pipi took some wonderful photos of my doodle Moe. He was super responsive to her (was it the treats?) and she has a great eye. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to get some great photos of my pal. He's slowed down a bit of late, but we were able to get photos of him both at rest and at play, so I feel she captured him fully! read more

Pipi has a relaxed & friendly disposition. My 2 dogs had fun during the photo shoot & Pipi perfectly captured each of their personalities. The book is a treasure - love it read more

Pipi is a talented local artist who volunteers with oakland animal services-taking photos of homeless animals to help them get adopted. How cool is that. She has an amazing ability to capture special moments-the lighting, background, the animal's energy and expression. Any one who has lost a pet knows how special it is to have great photos of your babies. I am so glad I have professional photos of my 2 dogs, I will treasure them forever. Pipi is great at action shots and stills, with and without people. She managed to get great shots of my friend and I - with 6 dogs all looking at the camera! read more

I was fortunate enough to come across Pipi Diamond and Soulful Pet Photography when I was searching for a pet photographer. I wanted to get professional photos taken for my husband's Christmas gift. Pipi was very organized and detail oriented. She came over for a pre-shoot meeting and then spent time scouting nearby locations. On the day of our shoot, she brought toys, treats and props to help with my two rambunctious big dogs. My dogs went wild with the new toys and started to wilt a bit in the heat of the day. But Pipi still managed to get great shots of both of them. They are black dogs and don't always photograph very well. She came back to show me a slide show of all the shots - and then came back a 4th time to deliver the items I purchased. Her prices are reasonable and the fact that she donates her time and services to help local shelters promote their adoptable pets speaks to her character and love of animals. read more
