Unforgettable
“Megan made our entire experience enjoyable and unforgettable. She created a beautiful leather bound album we will cherish forever.”
Think your dog won’t behave?
Shhhhh, I’m going to let you in on a secret: most of the dogs on this website were photographed with their leashes on. No special training required!
“I’m not photogenic.”
”I need to lose 10 lbs.”
”I have no idea what to wear.”
You aren’t alone - I hear these excuses a lot. But trust me: you are beautiful just the way you are, and you deserve to exist in portraits. Genuine expressions, flattering light, and proper posing - these are all ways I’ll help you look and feel your best!

Meet Megan
As a wife and mom to a dog and two daughters, I know how important family is. I create meaningful portraits of dogs and the people who love them - smiles guaranteed!
Imagine this…
It's a lazy Sunday, your dog is curled up next to you as you swipe through the thousands of pictures of him stored on your iPhone. You’re immediately transported to frisbee games by the lake, walks along the bayou trail, and that time he chewed your favorite pair of red heels.
He’s been with you through the ups and downs of life, always with a smile, and is an integral part of your family. But suddenly you realize you don't have a single printed photo of your loyal furbaby!
That was me. Eager to document the head tilts and soulful eyes of our first children, I hired a professional photographer to do just that! In doing so, I learned that decorating with family portraits transformed our house into a home, and those sweet memories give me more joy than generic or trendy artwork ever could.
Fast forward several years… our dogs’ portraits still hang prominently in the family room, flanked by new portraits showing how our family has grown over the years. Let me help you decorate your home with unconditional love.
Part of the family
“I cannot speak enough on Megan’s artistry, talent, and kindness. Megan came through for our family when we discovered our precious Aussie Shepherd Minnie had bone cancer, and turned a very difficult time into beautiful tangible memories of our sweet old girl. From booking to ordering, Megan truly cares about each of her clients and is attuned to your individual needs. I promise you won’t regret letting her become part of the family!”

You might be wondering…
-
Don't worry! Training isn't required to achieve great images. I have worked with a variety of different dog personalities - patience, space, treats, noises, and toys go a long way towards turning your pet into a supermodel! Most of the dogs featured on my website were photographed with leashes on. If the leash distracts from the image, many times it can be removed in post-processing.
-
Absolutely yes! I always encourage families to include their dogs, as they're part of the family and those memories of you with your best friend are priceless.
-
We'll discuss the best location for your session during the planning consultation. My studio is conveniently located near downtown Houston. The city and surrounding suburbs offer a wide variety of urban and rural settings, so we are sure to find the perfect spot for your on-location photo session.
-
Most people choose to decorate at least one wall in their home with wall art, and then put the rest of their favorite images in an album or folio box. I’ll be your design consultant and help you select the sizes and finishes to complement your space. With your artwork purchase, you'll also receive the matching digital file(s), which can be used for archiving, personal printing, and sharing online.
