What our Clients are saying
“What an experience! My boyfriend, our 2 dogs, and I had family photoshoot session with Willow Street Pictures and the experience was first class! They captured beautiful photos of our dogs that will be cherished for a lifetime. The whole process was very professional and upscale, and they really cater to our canine friends. The print quality is top-notch and they take great care with the finished product. They offer several types of glass (even museum-quality!) and hundreds of framing options. We had so much fun during the photoshoot, it truly was a memorable experience from start to end!
We wanted to get professional pictures taken of our dogs while they were still young and I’m so glad we did! I want to remember these boys this way forever. It almost makes me remorseful that we didn’t do this with our previous dogs.”
“I scheduled a photoshoot of my dad with his dog as an 80th birthday surprise. The creative team was very attentive and helpful. The photoshoot was fun and we even managed to get family pictures for the first time in nearly 30 years. They are a treasure that would not exist if not for Darren’s encouragement. The pricing is very reasonable given the time devoted, the level of attention and quality of the work. The custom framed prints are an investment, but you are free to purchase what you want, and the beauty of the artwork justifies investing a bit extra. I think for the average person this is affordable, if viewed as a special occasion/ opportunity. Darren captures those once in a lifetime moments in stunning quality and composition.“
“My husband and I just had our special showing of the images and now I can say that Willow Street Pictures has lived up to expectations!
Not only are you investing in the Artwork, but you are investing in their expertise, professionalism, and the experience.
I was so impressed and excited for each step of the process and couldn’t be more excited to receive my artwork. Everyone there made me feel like a valued client. Thank you all so much!”

Dog Photography FAQs
Does my dog need to sit still?
Definitely not! We love to capture spontaneous action when creating our dog photography. We let the dogs be dogs and run free in the studio and outdoors.
What happens if my dog doesn't behave?
All of our creative packages provide ample time for your pets to come in and run around on the photoshoot. After they have made their rounds and investigated to their satisfaction, they typically settle into the place. Some pets get so relaxed they fall asleep! We are very good with pets and will tailor our approach to make them comfortable.
What happens if you're not able to get a good portrait?
The creative team who will be working with you have amazing patience. Their creative vision allows them to capture stunning images on every photoshoot. What’s nice about working with us is that during the photoshoot we take pauses to review the images created, and we love to hear your feedback. If there’s anything that you want to change or have questions about, we simply go in a new direction that works for your family.
How many dogs can I bring?
You are welcome to bring them all! There is not additional charge. We always ask if the dogs get along if you are looking to capture them together. If they do, we have great success in creating dog photography with groups. One of our clients brought along her 11 dogs and that was fun!
