Meet the Photographer
Hi there! I'm so happy you're thinking about booking a photo session for your beloved pet! It brings me great joy to help pet parents create beautiful memories of their furbabies, and I'm dedicated to capturing the unique charm of each pet I get the pleasure of working with. Following college, I spent several years photographing various subjects before deciding to specialize in creating custom portraits for pet parents and businesses in the pet industry. Combining my passion for photography with my love for animals has been an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding journey.
As a pet parent with three cats and two dogs, I completely understand how important your furkids are to you. They are not just pets. They are precious members of our families whom we love beyond words. I want to assure you that I will treat your pet with utmost care, compassion, and patience during our time together. Their well-being and happiness will always be my top priority.
Creating great images of animals requires a unique set of skills and a considerable amount of patience. With 20 years of experience working with domestic and exotic animals in rescue organizations and veterinary hospitals and specializing in TNR and socializing feral cats, I can photograph animals with just about any personality type safely and positively.
Even though, at this time, I can’t do as much hands-on rescue work as before, I remain committed to supporting animals in need. I volunteer my photography services to local shelters to help them find their forever homes and foster bottle baby kittens. My devotion to animal rescue is unwavering, and I also strongly believe in giving back and helping others.
I would love to be your pet photographer, but if you think I may not be the best fit for you, I encourage you to continue searching until you find someone who is. A professional photo session for your furbaby can be one of the best ways to celebrate your love for each other and hold onto precious memories of them. If we get to work together, plan to have fun and enjoy special quality time with your furry BFF! :)
I appreciate you taking the time to consider my services. Thank you.

"I was worried about having Mindy photographed because she's nervous and barky with new people, but she LOVED Sonya! We are incredibly satisfied with Mindy's pictures! They're just all so adorable! I wouldn't hesitate to use Sonya again. It was such a pleasant experience."
