Education for Pet Photographers

Are you just getting started with your pet photography business or are you trying to grow it into your full-time job? Maybe you’re a hobbyist who just wants to take better photos of your pet. Or maybe you need some design advice from an expert. Whatever the case may be, I love teaching and I’m excited to help you grow! I offer three different educational services for all different learning styles, skill levels, and budgets!


One-on-One Mentoring

Available for design or photography help, I will customize the program to your individual needs. We can cover things such as marketing design, the best settings for your camera, or even set up a sample photography session to learn about lighting, posing, action photos, or whatever is troubling you the most!

Starting at $150

The weather in Bozeman sure kept us on our toes! A The weather in Bozeman sure kept us on our toes! As much as I love dramatic skies, my internal monologue goes something like this: please no big hail, please no big hail, please no big hail...⁣ 
The rain sounds so amazing inside the Airstream, though, so I really do love stormy weather when we're camping. It taps on the aluminum roof and skylights in the most soothing way. At night, it puts me right to sleep!

Wyoming better move on over and make some room bec Wyoming better move on over and make some room because Montana now shares my heart. We spent 45 days in the western half of the state this year and I did NOT want to leave.​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​On our last day, Roxy and I sat out by the Gallatin River together. I sipped my morning tea, we listened to the birds, and watched a little squirrel eat a nut in the tree next to us. It was pure perfection.⁣ 
My *TWO* Montana blogs are up on my website so head on over to westwaypets.com/blog or click the links in my IG bio!
We're officially back in San Diego but I'm still d We're officially back in San Diego but I'm still dreaming of Utah! Photographing Rey and her mom among the red rocks was one of the highlights of our trip. Rey's beautiful brindle tones worked so perfectly with the red rocks and I just loved the happy, natural smiles both mom & pup had when they were together!
I absolutely loved this peaceful spot in Jackson H I absolutely loved this peaceful spot in Jackson Hole. Down a gravel road, away from the tourist crowds, the Teton range stood nobly in the distance while tall trees, yellow wildflowers, and a friendly little chipmunk called this hilltop home. This was such a special evening and Mother Nature's dramatic sunset is not one I'll soon forget.

Hello, Las Vegas! Shutterhound starts TOMORROW!!!! Hello, Las Vegas! Shutterhound starts TOMORROW!!!! I know how hard the conference founders, Kaylee & Sam, have been working to pull this all together and I am 1,000,000% confident this will be an event to remember! I am honored to have been asked to teach two separate classes at the event and am so excited to get up there on stage and share what I've learned over the past 13 years as a pet photographer! Are any of my social followers here at the conference, too? Are you ready to have your socks knocked off????? I am!!!
