FAQ
What if my dog can't be offleash?
Totally understandable, I'm very capable at editing out leashes and collars (unless requested to keep them in). Ideally no harnesses at the time of photos, but if that's not possible I can work around it!
What if my dog is reactive?
All pets deserve photos no matter if they're reactive or not. I have long lenses to keep distance if they're uncomfortable. I'm happy to go at their pace as well. Slow and steady! I also aim for sessions in quieter areas to minimize external distractions.
Is it pets only?
I try very hard to get equal amounts of pets and people, and just pets solo. As a dog owner myself I feel I have a million photos of just my dog, and not many of us together. My whole goal is to get candids of you just interacting naturally (with the occasional 'posed candid' if you will).
What if my pet doesn't know how to pose?
Some of the best photos captured are just pets being themselves. They don't need to know "sit pretty" and "wave" for us to get some nice photos!
What if the day of the weather is bad?
Living in Vancouver we all know that the weather can be all over the place and majority of the time wet. I'm happy to shoot even in the rain (maybe not torrential), but I'm also happy to reschedule if your pet/you isn't into the idea of being sopping wet!
Testimonials
"Big hugs to Taryn and her incredible, natural ability to connect with fur babies đŸ
Tater Tot was only 3 months old at the time (aka pure chaos đ), and somehow she managed to get him to sit still and capture the most beautiful shots. We did an evening shoot, and she even offered a second session because she had a creative vision to capture more in-the-moment, authentic photos, which says so much about how much she cares about her craft.
What really stood out is how much time she takes to build trust. She doesnât just show up, snap photos, and leave, she genuinely takes the time to get to know both you and your pet, creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and at ease.
You can feel her love for animals in every photo. Couldnât recommend her more đ"

"5 HUGE STARS. Best experience having Taryn take mine and my dog Rubyâs photos. We had never done anything like this because Ruby is a bit fear reactive. Taryn knew exactly how to act, she played it cool, gave her space and made sure she and I were comfortable at all times. It was honestly like hanging out with a friend + a camera. Ruby had such an amazing time, she ended up going up to her after!!
These photos are in our house and are memories Iâll cherish for forever. If you are on the fence, book her, you wonât regret her or the moments she captures. Thank you x1000 Taryn!!!!!"

"Taryn is an incredible photographer! Weâve booked two photoshoots with her, and in both sessions she captured our dog in ways I couldnât have imagined. She has such a natural ability to make every shoot feel fun and relaxed, which really shows in the candid, in-the-moment photos she delivers.
She also makes you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, even if youâre not used to being photographed. Her patience, creativity, and genuine love for what she does come through in every shot.
The final photos were stunning and delivered quite quickly. I canât recommend Taryn enough if youâre looking for a huge dog lover, someone who is incredibly passionate about their craft, and someone who can beautifully capture the bond between you and your pets!"

"Taryn was amazing! From organising the shoot, during the shoot and the photos we received afterwards- couldnât fault anything! She was so good with my goofball of a dog Oscar. Will definitely be organising another shoot in the future and wouldnât hesitate to recommend to any of my friends đŸđ"

Testimonials
"Taryn has done photo sessions with my dog twice, and both times were great experiences! Not only did she know great locations and times to go for the best photos, she is also patient and kind directing my dog who is not the most camera trained, and helping us feel at ease and know where to stand and how to get him to pose. She has also taken portraits of both me and my dog, and even though I don't often have my picture taken, she helped me feel comfortable and get the best out of our time. The resulting galleries she delivered to us were just amazing, they are photos I will treasure of our dog forever and I will definitely book future sessions with Taryn!"
