We just celebrated two of our dogs’ birthdays with Say Woof and had such a fantastic experience! Rina is amazing and puts so much thought and attention into every detail of the setup. She made each session feel so special for our girls, and we are absolutely in love with the photos. We couldn’t recommend Say Woof more and already can’t wait to come back!

I saw Say Woof on Instagram and loved the idea of taking some portrait photos for my little doggos as they're getting old. The website was super easy to navigate through and there's a variety of packages to choose from based on what you're looking for.
I chose the pet portrait because I was some classic and timeless photos of my dogs as they're getting old and around that age but I was very interested in the birthday package as well.
The parking situation is super easy, the owner validated our parking so all we had to do was park in the garage and bring our ticket.
The owner was super sweet and you could tell she's very experienced with dogs. She had treats ready and got the doggies acclimated to the studio so they were comfortable. As soon as the dogs were ready she got to work and took such cute photos of each dog and then together. She was super patient with us and with the doggies.
After the shoot she showed us all the raw photos and we got to choose the ones we wanted printed and it was easy as that. We took the dogs for a short walk, came back, and the photos were ready and they came out great!!
10/10 would highly recommend to any dog/pet owner and looking foward to book a birthday shoot next!

I told my girlfriend this was “just a pet photoshoot” but really, it was the cover for my surprise proposal, and Rina helped pull it off perfectly. Not only did she capture stunning, genuine shots of our dogs, she helped me coordinate the whole surprise without giving anything away. She even let me stash the post-proposal flowers at her studio ahead of time so everything could come together seamlessly. The pacing, the positioning, the timing, she handled it all with so much care so the moment could unfold naturally. We now have beautiful photos of our dogs and the actual proposal, all thanks to someone who clearly loves what she does and goes above and beyond for her clients. I can’t recommend Rina enough — talented, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in making the experience special!

We had such a wonderful experience with Say Woof. Rina was incredibly patient with Gaston, made the whole photoshoot fun and relaxed, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. She was also so helpful afterwards with a small design request we had. We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.

Rina was the best! It was the first time both me and Daisy were in any kind of photo shoot, and she did an incredibly job putting us in the perfect spots. I loved the results! :)

Had an AMAZING experience with Rina at Say Woof! Went in for a Mini Session and from start to finish the entire experience was so fun and easy. Before going in, Rina was super responsive and patient in answering all of my questions. We even asked her for some accommodations to the service and she went above and beyond to give us a great experience.
She was so sweet and patient in handling our puppy during his photoshoot, and got us incredible shots! We ended up even purchasing extra photos because we couldn’t decide on just a couple!
Overall, I highly recommend this studio to anyone wanting to create memories or get photos of their pets (and from her site she does human headshots too!). You can truly tell she loves what she does and loves animals because she made it such a calm and amazing experience. We will definitely be going back very soon!
