Let’s celebrate you, you family and your pet by Creating Bespoke Portraiture of them that you are proud to decorate you home with.
Together We create An Experience That Isn’t Cookie-Cutter and will Help You Hold Them Close To You Forever.
I’m an Owen Sound photographer specializing in Family, Pet (heheh a.k.a dog photography) and Headshot photography.
You have found your way to my website because you’re wanting heart-felt, authentic portraits that showcase your pet & family’s personalities, you can’t get a good photo of your dog and kids, and you want to feel comfortable and relaxed. Well you have come to the right place. I help you get all of that!
When you see your dog and children run around and then candidly pose, you will smile and say ‘Yep, that’s our family’ – okay, you may not say exactly that, but you will smile.
Why do I do what I do…
It’s simple. Our pets grow up way too fast and we want to hold onto these memories for as long as we can. Sometimes a single portrait can bring tears of joy to your eyes.

Custom wall art & albums of your family fur baby that will make your friends envious!
I have been working full time at creating custom pet portraits since 2013. In which families come to me as I help them create and decorate their home with stunning heirloom wall art and luxury albums of their pet and family.
The art work of your dog will be a way you can fill your home with warmth, happiness, and memories… day after day…keeping them close to your forever. And this brings a smile to your face as your dog is your best friend, and it means the world to you to honour them like this.

If this sounds purrfect, please reach out to me.
We photograph all dogs in a safe place
We believe all dogs are photogenic, including energetic and bound-full dogs, sport dogs, shy & timid dogs, diva dogs, show dogs, house dogs, and lazy dogs. And the list goes on from there. And yes, reactive dogs, as we simply honour them and give them their space and take them too safe locations to be photographed.
And, for all sessions outside, dogs are actually on leash 95% of the time. This is for the safetfy of your dog. We dont want anything to happen to them so we keep them close to us. And for those action shots they are often on a long lead. Heheh and when we are in the studio, the space is 100% safe so dogs are off leash in there.

Some sample pics…
I can’t say enough good things about Candra! She recently worked with my daughter (15 yrs)and her horse, creating some precious and beautiful photos and memories. Candra is very professional, but also creates a lot of ease and fun during the photo shoot. She gave practical and easy to follow tips and instructions to my daughter in order to capture some priceless and unique photographs with her horse. We would both highly recommend Candra to anyone!
