Hi, I’m JoAnna.

I make playful, colorful photographs of dogs just being themselves.

My sessions are relaxed, upbeat, and built around your pup. I’m less concerned with capturing the perfect pose and more focused on letting dogs be dogs. They are curious, sweet, silly & joyful ~ sometimes slobbery ~ and I’m here for all of it.

My goal is simple: TO CREATE IMAGES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY.

This is my girl, Zoey. If we met out and about around Bend, you probably met her, too. She’s been my constant companion for over nine years and, like most dogs, loves her daily walks, a roll in the grass (or something smelly), chasing squirrels, and finding a good stick to munch on. Of course, as the princess, she’s got her own Instagram: Zoeys.Golden.Life

Thank you for being here! I hope we have a chance to make some fun photos very soon! 🐾
