YOUR OBSESSIVE PHILLY PET PHOTOGRAPHER
in Philadelphia, the Main Line, Mid-Atlantic, and beyond since 2005
If you're someone like me whose dogs truly enrich your life, I invite you to put aside your cell phone and come enjoy an experience that celebrates them like never before...
Hello, I'm Nicole. I'm passionately focused on creating the most beautiful, intimate photos that capture every little thing you love about your pets as well as the bond you share — and I have been for nearly 20 years.
My style is a colorful, artistic mix of playful candids and detailed, soulful portraits in your choice of studio or natural light.
I'd love to help you celebrate the bright eyes and wagging tails that light up your life. Come to my relaxing studio or let's head outside — I'm always game for an adventure. Yes, you could say I'm obsessed!

Photographing dogs is different from photographing people
Viewing the world through your dog's eyes and having the ability via years of experience to anticipate what motivates them and what might concern them is key.
Photographing pets also demands a whole different perspective when choosing the ideal backgrounds: What works at a person's eye level won't cut it for your dog!
Crawling on my belly with a camera, I've captured the personalities of thousands of dogs and other pets and the wide spectrum of people who love them. I bring a calm, playful energy, embrace chaos, and love it when everyone's enjoying themselves.
Pets need a fair bit more time to acclimate to new environments as well, so my sessions always include extra time for fun and frolic.
You can rely on my years of experience to guide you to exceptional images of even the most rambunctious puppy or aloof cat
During your session, you'll benefit from all my experience communicating with animals and inspiring them to engage and play.
I've been training dogs as long as I've been photographing them: My own dogs are animal actors who appear in commercials and TV shows — sometimes with me dressed as a police officer or FBI agent!
They're also dog agility competitors: I've trained and handled a standard poodle, Belgian tervuren, and border collie to AKC, USDAA, and UKI agility champion titles.
