If you’re looking for images that tell your pet’s story as it really is — then you’re in the right place

I create beautiful, joyful, & heartwarming pictures for love-filled pet families just like yours.

My clients are busy pet parents who are obsessed with their pets and looking for a fun experience

Each time you walk by these portraits, you’ll feel an overwhelming sense of joy, love, and nostalgic happiness flowing through you. My goal is for these images to become more valuable to you with each passing year.

My photography is all about capturing the soul of pets and the bonds between you and your furry child. Your pets are truly amazing. That’s what we believe, and we want to honor that with you.

You don't have to look at the camera and smile. Instead, you will be interacting and playing with your pet.

MY APPROACH

But often, we do not realize until it's gone.

My mission is to capture the love you share with your furry kid and the daily expressions of joy. I am a portrait photographer, specializing in dog portraits that capture unique personalities. I use treats, toys, and playtime to bring out an authentic expression - resulting in treasured images that you can genuinely see in your dog.

As a dog mom, I know that the parts of life we value most seem to fly by in an instant.

Please do not wait too long because they will not be around forever.

I have always wanted nothing more than to remember my furry boy - to freeze him right where he is and to memorize all the details of his face, his expressions, mannerisms, spirits, the connection between us, and how he looked at me. But I did not do that when he was around and I regret it so much. Sadly I don’t have photos of us together, I was always behind my camera. My goal is to create images that make you feel like you are looking right at your dog and vice versa and bring you back to the moments - so that when they are all grown and everything has changed, you can look back and remember them this way. I want every dog's parents to not make the same mistake as I did. You will not regret getting photos taken with your four-legged family member.

My unique, one-of-a-kind, forever furry boy passed after 17 years together.

The reason why I switched to pet photography

I can genuinely say that dogs are my favorite animals on this planet. Their capacity for love is limitless, offering companionship, comfort, and unwavering loyalty. To me, they are more than just dogs; they teach invaluable lessons about empathy, forgiveness, and living in the present moment.

We're surrounded by the beautiful mighty Columbia Gorge River, and double mountains, Mt. Adam and Mt. Hood, 

I was born and raised in Japan; currently, I live in White Salmon, WA. with my husband, my son, and my dog Cleo.
