HELPING PET PARENTS CAPTURE THEIR PETS AT HOME OR ON THE ROAM!

Immortalize Your Pet & Your Bond Together

Everlasting art is only a small part of the gift you give yourself and your pet when booking a photography session. It's the experience itself! We love our pets dearly, and we want artwork of them to hold onto forever.

Let's Talk About Your Dream Session!

Step 1 is easy, we talk! We can meet in person or via Zoom/Facetime. I get to meet you and your pets! Every pet has a beautiful story, and I adore getting to hear all about them. I find out what your pet loves, dislikes, treat preferences, and favorite things. We discuss your goals for displaying your images in your home. I then customize your session to you and your pets!

Your Custom Photography Session!

I capture your pet's essence! I have several tricks to get them to look at the camera. Your pet anxious, rowdy, talkative? Don't worry! We work at their pace. I've worked with animals for 16+ years. They're wonderful at being their true selves, but it helps they trust me quickly! And remember our meet and greet? We planned for their comfort level! Worried about how to pose with your pets? I can help guide you .

Ordering Session and Product Design

Time for the grand reveal! We meet in person to review your images! At this session, we select your favorite images and discuss where in your home you'd like to showcase them, and in what format: heirloom album, metal wall art, canvases, prints. I'm a huge supporter of smiling every day you pass your pet's printed artwork! The alternative is letting them sit on an unused flash drive where they cannot be properly treasured. Everlasting art of your pet deserves to be admired and seen!

"I just loved working with Laura. She went above and beyond catching the perfect light at the perfect time. Together with cold weather she made the magic moment happen, capturing the beauty of my precious fur children. My 27-year old horse, she caught his light in his life and my 17-year old retired service dog looks as beautiful as the day we first met. Thank you so much Laura."

Adventure Session

"It was so convenient when Laura came to our house to do Nala's photoshoot! Laura was so professional and easy to work with. Nala seemed very comfortable with Laura and trusted her. I think my old girl even had fun! Thank you Laura for making her 15th birthday so special."

Birthday Session

"Laura did a photoshoot for my super-senior dog Cookie and me. I was incredibly impressed at how efficiently she works; she moved us through multiple setups and lighting changes with expert ease. She came prepared with treats, props, and inspiration and she knew all the tricks to get the best out of both my dog and myself. She put both of us at ease throughout the shoot, and the photos speak for themselves! So grateful to have these irreplaceable memories of my best friend."

Studio Session

Fine Art Pet Photography at Home or on the Roam

Life is too short, no matter the span, to not be treasured dearly.
I've photographed creatures big, small, scaled, feathered, cloven, and spiked.
I have a deep understanding of animal behavior that crosses many species.

Meet Your Photographer!

Hi there! My name is Laura Merikay. I'm a Registered Veterinary Technician with over a decade of experience working with companion animals. This experience has strengthened my ability for quickly assessing & understanding an animal's temperament, so we can cater the session to their comfort level.

Many people tell me, my dog would never behave for photographs! That's okay, it's not about 'behaving', it's about being their true selves. I work with your pet, at their speed, and they're in charge of the pace. From there, we'll create a fun session that transforms into a keystone memory!

Immortalizing your unconditional love with your forever friend is not only an honor, it's a pleasure. The human animal bond is transcendent. During your pet portrait session I will bring treats, toys, and extra goodies to use to my advantage to grab your pet's attention.

From equestrian, to canine, feline, & even Peaceful Heart sessions, I'm up for working with any species and implementing any ideas or goals you may have for your session.

Let's capture your pet at home or on the roam!
