This makes my heart so happy, Sarah! I know you were concerned about how Dillon would feel about the camera and I'm grateful you gave it a chance. Starting out giving her plenty of space let her spirit shine and she was quick to open up. You are both such beautiful souls and it was an honor to make these memories with you!

Edit: got the pictures back and I am at a loss for words. I will forever cherish the pictures of my two senior dogs. I am so lucky I found Robyn and will be forever grateful for the astonishing results she provided. Worth every penny and then some. I am over the moon!! (Photos were too large to add- mind you the initial post is 100% unedited…how wild).

Thank you, Nickie! I know being in front of a camera can feel awkward, but I’m so glad we were able to create photos that made you feel as beautiful as you looked and had fun in the process.

Just finished my second photo shoot with Robyn and she and her staff did an amazing job finding ways to get my wiggle worm dog to come across in the photos! I can't wait to see the results since my first experience with her last year was such a success. Previously, I had to send my oldest across the rainbow bridge and wanted to capture some last minute memories. She went above and beyond to make sure our last sunset was the something I could treasure forever!
Response from the owner · 6 months ago
Thank you so much, Nicole! I am thrilled to hear you've had great experiences with us. There is nothing more meaningful to us than being invited to share the final moments with a beloved dog at an end of life session. I'm grateful you trusted us with that sunset and came back to celebrate the moments with your boy.
JanetLocal Guide · 30 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Janet has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Robyn and her team deserve more stars than Google has to offer! I was so nervous about doing photos since I hadn’t had professional pictures taken in years, but I wanted to do something special with my crazy, ball-obsessed pittie for my 40th birthday, and Robyn truly exceeded every expectation.
From the beginning, she made me feel comfortable, prepared, and excited for the session. She doesn’t just take beautiful photos, she creates an experience. The final images were beyond stunning, and I’m so grateful for how special she made this milestone feel.
Don’t waste your time looking anywhere else, just call Robyn. She is a rare kind of photographer: incredibly talented, deeply kind, and somehow part photographer, part counselor, haha. I’ll absolutely be back for more sessions. So happy to be her customer. Also, both the studio and the outdoor area on 7 acres was breathtaking. We had a sunset shoot! So pretty!!!

The experience matters just as much to us as the photos and I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the process! We look forward to celebrating many more milestones and all the moments in between with you and Icy!

We were so impressed we decided we wanted to get a full session done with her, and we are so glad we did. The whole experience from consult call to final deliverables was wonderful. We cannot stop looking at our pictures and are so grateful to have these permanent memories of our dog children. If you're even kind of considering getting photos of you and your pets, give Robyn a call.

We have a skittish dog and she did everything she could to make him comfortable so the pictures would turn out good. Her property is beautiful and allows for a variety of scenery for the pictures while staying safe. This is definitely a premium product but you get what you pay for! Robyn gives tons of info in the consult if you're on the fence. I know we will cherish these photos forever! Thanks again!
Response from the owner · 10 months ago
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review, it truly means a lot. One of the things I’m most proud of is creating an experience where every dog - shy, skittish, energetic, or over-the-top confident - can relax and actually enjoy themselves. From the design consult and prep tips, to moving at your dog’s pace, choosing safe locations, and giving them time to observe and warm up, every step is intentional.
I’m so glad your pup felt comfortable and that the variety and privacy of the property helped make that possible. Thank you again for trusting us with something so important!

I found Robyn online when I was looking to gift an end-of-life photo session for my sister and her dog. It was his final weekend with them, and Robyn was incredibly kind and accommodating, fitting them into her schedule at the very last minute.
My sister and her husband had nothing but wonderful things to say about their experience - how comfortable she made them feel and how thoughtfully she captured their bond during such a difficult time.
I’m so grateful for the compassion and care Robyn showed. These photos mean more to our family than words can express. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented, but genuinely understanding and empathetic.

The pleasure was mine, Wendy. Haute Dog exists to make pets live forever and I'm so grateful we were able to create these special memories for your sister.

My husband and I did a mini holiday session at Haute Dog and are SO pleased with the photos we got back! I am so happy to have these high quality, amazing photos of our pups. We got shots of each of them on their own, together, together with us, and ones with just me and one pup who gravitates to me the most and my husband with our other pup that gravitates to him the most. I'll be cherishing these forever!
Response from the owner · 11 months ago
I’m thrilled that you love your photos and that we were able to capture every combination you wanted. From each pup’s solo portrait to the dynamic duo and those “favorite human” moments, every shot told a piece of your family’s story, and I loved seeing their personalities shine.

Robyn and Loren were amazing to work with. As a veterinarian and a pet owner, there is something truly special about capturing your pet’s unique personality in art. And the photos produced? Pure art. Thank you!
Response from the owner · 11 months ago
Thank you so much for your kind words, Teleah! It means a lot coming from someone who dedicates their life to caring for animals. Loren and I had such a wonderful time working with you and your girls - they were absolute naturals in front of the camera and we can't wait to see you again.
