I recently had the opportunity to work with Julia from Second Home Boarding for a special commercial session. Julia wanted a professional photo with her two amazing dogs to feature on her website, and I couldn’t have been more excited to help bring her vision to life!

As someone who loves supporting other Austin-area pet businesses, this session was such a treat. Julia’s dogs, Frito Pie—a Rottweiler mix—and Jerry, a Great Dane, were absolute stars. They brought so much personality to the shoot.

To ease the pups into the session, I started with some individual portrait-style shots of each dog. This approach helped them get comfortable with the big camera covering my face and the sound of the shutter clicks. Once they were relaxed and in their element, we captured some heartwarming photos of Julia with her two fur babies.

The results were a perfect blend of professional and playful—just what Julia needed to showcase the bond she shares with her dogs and the heart behind her business. If you’re an Austin-area pet business owner looking for photos that capture your unique story, I’d love to work with you! Let’s create something that speaks to the love and care you bring to your work.
