Wags & Whiskers Pet Photography

Wags & Whiskers Pet Photography Sacramento-based Wags & Whiskers creates unique and playful photo art to capture your pet's individuality. Also serves rescue partners free of charge.

I've been animal-crazy my entire life, and find bliss in all things furry, scaly, and feathered...but I've come to accept that I just cannot get enough of squishy faces and wiggly butts of the canine variety. I'm a mom to the most wonderfully goofy, derptastic nugget of a dog, Ellie Mae. Because she bounded into my life 10 years ago, I now know the meaning of unconditional, soul-touching love. In

a nutshell, she lights up my world. What started as an obsession with taking Ellie's photo quickly turned into a means to help dogs in need find loving adoptive homes. Since receiving my first camera as a birthday present 8 years ago, I've been photographing rescue dogs with the hope that beautiful photos showcasing their individuality would attract more interest from adopters than the depressing kennel photos we've come to know as the norm. And guess what? It's working! Time and time again, I hear stories from rescuers and other photographers of successful marketing campaigns that focused on showcasing dogs in positive and unique ways, resulting in adoptions. In short, photos MATTER! I’m also a proud member of HeARTs Speak, a global network of artists who donate their time and professional services to animal welfare organizations. Our goal is to create a united voice for animals through art. So here I am, a girl with a camera and a puppy-saving mission. Finding my passion in helping homeless dogs brings me to the newest chapter of my doggie addiction: capturing the magical joy that is the soul of your pet. In expanding beyond rescue dog photography, I hope to cover your walls with special moments you can cherish for a lifetime. Let's get started, shall we? Those wiggly butts are waiting!

Happy holidays to you and yours from me and Ellie! This year has been, well...you know. But it’s also been kind of wonderful in ways I couldn’t have imagined, let alone in a year that has felt so impossible and surreal. I can’t look through my photos from this shoot without tearing up...maybe because they represent the light and the good that exists within what can feel pretty dark sometimes.

Trust me, I know it hasn’t been all rainbows and sunshine for any of us. But amidst its challenges, 2020 brought these beautiful animals and their equally beautiful parents—my coworkers, who have turned into friends and a huge support in this new chapter—into my life. It brought my dream of moving to California into reality. It brought me a rewarding job at RedRover that I’ve been longing for since always.

2020 has also kept me from my family on the opposite coast who I miss more than I ever thought I would. It’s made me feel unsafe and scared with all its uncertainty. It’s brought so much heartache for those who have lost so much. It’s shown us the best and the worst of humanity all at once. I’m overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude, joy, sadness, anxiety, hope, grief, longing...all the things as I reflect on this year and look ahead to 2021.

All this to say, hang in there, and hug your pets (unless they live under water 😬). Sending you and your loved ones (two and four-legged, finned, and scaled) extra love and light. ♥️✨

Meet Penny, an adventurous and joyful 5 yr-old gal adoptable through Last Hope K9 Rescue. Her favorite activities include giving out kisses, lounging, and fetching all the balls. She has been fostered with another dog and is wicked smart (genius-level trainability, we're told!). She's met a few little kiddos and cats and decided she could do without 'em.

To learn more about Penny or to apply to adopt, visit bit.ly/2I3uwXj.

Interested in meeting or getting to know Penny? Come see her at this Sunday's big adoption event, 2:00-4:00 pm at Spontaneous Celebrations in Jamaica Plain!

So all the grass is still dead, but my girl Penny is gorgeous enough to make up for the icky landscape. I’ve been fostering Penny for a little under 2 months and have fallen completely in love 😍. It’s become clear she sadly needs to be in a different environment to thrive, but I’m so grateful to be a part of her journey right now. For however much longer she’s with me, I’m going to soak up her sweet kisses and snuggles and help set her up for the best future she can have. ❤️

When you’re an auntie to a pup this stunning, an impromptu photoshoot is a must! I headed west on a road trip last week and met up with Maeby and her mom in San Diego. We headed up to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to catch the start of the annual superbloom and oh.my.gawd. it was truly beautiful. Thanks to Maeby for being a beautiful model and my friend Gloria for making the trek to take what I think are my new favorite photos ever!
