We had a great pleasure working with Teran in one of his fall neighborhood photo-shoots in late…read moreOctober. Inspired by Portland's poetic fall color, it was a spontaneous decision for us to try out some professional photography to capture our dog Luna's pawsonality. The supposedly 40-minute photo-shoot session turned out to be a 2-hour adventure of fun, agility, training/learning and discoveries for us and for Luna. If you are looking for a professional photographer who has creative vision and great craftsmanship, who loves dogs and knows how to make the dogs shine. Teran is the one. Before working with Teran, I had reviewed quite a few pet photographers on Instagram and have decided to follow Teran's work. Teran's photography style is truthful to his leading characters, the dogs. He captures the beauty of his subjects' emotions, energy, living-in-the-moment quality, relationships with their humans and love of nature. During our entire working process from the pre-shoot, shooting to the post selection/delivery, Teran was extremely understanding, communicative, prepared, on time. During the shoot, he and Luna (and us) experimented different actions, settings, lighting and moods. I could tell Luna had such a great time to 'play' with Teran and to be her goofy, happy and athletic self in front of his camera. It was one of the highlights for Luna's adventure in 2018! We look forward to working with Teran again in the near future.

Teran was great with communication prior to the shoot, helping us with location and time suggestions. Our dog gets nervous around new people and usually hides from them at first but he warmed up to Teran very quickly. As most puppies do, our puppy has a short attention span but they were able to get some incredible shots. When we looked at the proofs we liked them so much we had a hard time narrowing which ones we wanted. Teran was more than willing to help us find the right ones!

I recently hired Kelly to do a photo session with my partner and our 6-month-old pup (named…read moreStella!). Adopting Stella was such a huge event in our life, I really wanted to capture some of the puppy times before they were gone. And she was growing so fast, I knew I had to act quick! Kelly did an amazing job capturing our life with dog. Stella was a little tense/nervous/confused about all the commotion and posing for pictures, so I was worried that would show through in the photos. I was also afraid that my own awareness of the camera would not allow us to look natural in photos. I was so wrong! Kelly was able to beautifully catch the "real" moments in between any bouts of awkwardness. :) Our shoot was one week before Christmas, so I wasn't expecting to see our gallery until after the holidays - to my surprise and delight, Kelly had our full gallery online on Christmas Eve! It was so nice to be able to share the photos with family members in town for the holidays. Kelly's prices are incredibly reasonable compared to some other local pet photographers. The session price includes all the high-res images, which many others would make you pay extra for. You and your pet are in good hands here!

This photographer does take great photos of dogs, and I was excited to have my dog participate in a…read morephoto shoot offered at his daycare (which I happen to work at part-time) last November. I recently got my dog's photos and I think they are very cute!! However, I would like to point out that his communication levels are unprofessional when it comes to letting clients know there will be delays in receiving your pictures. I feel I was reasonable in expecting to get my photos back to me before Christmas so that I could send out Christmas cards to friends and family, and receiving them after the holiday season was over was very disappointing, despite asking for updates several times on multiple platforms. From several others who participated in the same or similar events (including those who paid for the photos and did not get a free employee photoshoot), I have heard that communication was a common issue experienced. Ultimately, if you are a local business considering working with this photographer, I would caution against that, as you risk your client base's trust by working with someone with subpar communication skills. To the photographer: if you are struggling to complete a project or have something come up, sending out a mass email is not difficult to keep everyone in the loop. By being silent and leaving people wondering where the photos they are waiting for are, you cannot expect to have repeat customers or to build your client base. I hope you learn from this experience and can manage better in the future.

I was introduced to Jess through a wedding venue and from there saw her work for the Oregon Dog Rescue at the annual Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. After liking posting after posting of her images of smiling dogs among the colorful flowers, I knew I wanted her to photograph my dogs as well. I procrastinated until I saw a post that one of the senior dogs she'd photographed passed away just a few days after the images had been delivered to the client. Having an ancient dog myself, I knew I couldn't wait and scheduled our Fuzzy Butt session. Plans to have the dogs groomed prior to our appointment were scrapped when my old dog started to have sleepless nights pacing the room. I contacted Jess to see if we could move up the session and she agreed to come to our house the very next day. Don't worry, a week later and Willow is doing very well now, but I'm so excited to have these photos! Jess is professional, but fun and genuinely loves animals, so with my 3 dogs running all over, she just clicked away and got some amazing candid shots. So if you have a pet you love and don't have any printed photos, I HIGHLY recommend Fuzzy Butt Pet Photography. Jess offers several levels of pricing and affordable prints prices. My advice? DON'T PROCRASTINATE!

What I loved about Nicole was her willingness to work with us in terms of cost, location, and managing our daughter. She worked with our budget and we got beautiful photos. She helped me coordinate my family's clothes leading up to the shoot so we would look good. She had plenty of great ideas for locations, but agreed to meet us at my parents' condo; more specifically, the waterfront area behind it. I loved that an area that I have grown to love is now memorialized in our family pictures. Nicole caught all of our personalities. I can't get enough of our pictures. She was sensitive to our daughter's needs and knew when to give her breaks so that she wouldn't meltdown during the session. She managed to capture a few photos of my husband and me while our daughter explored nearby, and she was mindful of our daughter's location and safety. I highly recommend Nicole. She is a pro, fun to work with, and has a great eye. She will help you come to your session well-prepared.
