I went to a pop up session of Margot's and she helped snap a few photos of my pup Ellie, and i gotta say, i LOVE the photos!! She captured a range of expressions from Ellie which I'll be hanging up all around the home. Would definitely recommend as she's just great with both the camera and your puppers!

I'm so happy with my photos of Moose. Moose is a special-needs dog who doesn't really understand commands, so I was tempering my expectations with the quality of photos we would be able to get, and oh my god, I am so beyond thrilled. Margot was so patient with Moose and really met him where he was at. I'm also…

Our dog is human-reactive and can be fearful of strangers, but Margot was wonderful to work with. Nia never once felt threatened and was relaxed the entire session. We got so many lovely photos that we will cherish!

We’ve gone to two pop ups with Margot, both sessions have given us the best photos of our Juniper and bonus ones with all of us together that have become our Christmas card photo for the year! She does a great job capturing our cutie, will be going back to her each year!

I first discovered Squeaky Dog Studios via Instagram in 2023, and this was actually our second visit with Margot. She is professional, friendly and made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Charlie, my senior dog, is usually a bit hesitant in new environments; however, Margot’s patient and gentle approach,…

I love the photos Margot took of my dog and my family's elderly dog and the dogs loved working with her! My family was visiting and she went out of her way to accommodate our schedule so we could fit in the photoshoot before they left. Cannot recommend her enough and I will cherish these photos forever.

I'm so happy with my photos of Moose. Moose is a special-needs dog who doesn't really understand commands, so I was tempering my expectations with the quality of photos we would be able to get, and oh my god, I am so beyond thrilled. Margot was so patient with Moose and really met him where he was at. I'm also really happy with the editing - the pictures look exactly how I see him in my mind and the background came out so clean. I'm so thankful to have such great photos of my old guy

Charlie, my senior dog, is usually a bit hesitant in new environments; however, Margot’s patient and gentle approach, along with a few tasty treats, helped him quickly relax and show his personality. We were so happy with the photos the first time, we had to come back! I recommend Margot to anyone looking to capture special moments with their pets. The blue backdrop is from 2023 and the purple is from 2024.

Margot was amazing to work with and made the session fun for both my dog and I! She was able to capture both his funny/sweet side and his serious side which I love! These pictures are now some of my favorites as well.

Margot is amazing! She truly cares about her clients and made Betty feel right at home. She is very centrally located and provided detailed information before the shoot. I am so happy with how the photos turned out and highly recommend her.
