Professional imagery of your pets, equine, family and newborns in the Pacific Northwest Hallo! I am Tiffany Meyer of Lead Ropes and Leashes Photography!

I am happy that you are visiting my page. I have always had a love for animals, people and photography so why not do both at the same time! Animals have always been a part of my life since I was young with having cats, working around my grandparent's farm and riding horses around the countryside in Montana. I went to school at Utah State University earning a Bachelor of Science degree in

Agricultural Education and a minor in Animal Science. Becoming a military wife and having to move around, I needed to find a way to stay in my field I love. Animal photography was the perfect place for me because I can now give you lasting memories of our family members that we do not get the honor to have in our lives for the years we wish we could have them. Even though animals are my love and main focus I love to capture the milestone and love families show each other and their fur members. I welcome all ages in front of my camera and I hope to see you at my home studio or in nature capturing the beautiful countryside of Europe.

The results are in for the International Pet Photographer Competition of 2026.

It wasn't my finest year but I did try new things that I hadn't before in edits and places for sessions. Bronze rating is still a great result to achieve and I am thankful for the feedback I get on every image.

When you enter competitions its all based on the judge's perspective. Something you shoot or how you edit might not be their cup of tea, which doesn't mean the image is bad just maybe a tweak here and there is all it needed. All images are still amazing images that clients love and are proud to hang on their walls, just in competitions you have to really look into that fine detail that can elevate an image from professional standard, to Bronze, Silver and even Gold.

I love entering in the IPPC due to the valuable feedback from amazing fellow pet photographers across the world on how I can elevate my standard of photography. I know many feel that pet photography is a luxury or I am out of their price range, yes, I probably am and it is a luxury like any photography is, but the time I take to learn how to enhance my posing, continue to capture your pet's personality in a safe and fun way, and the hours of learning new editing techniques to bring you an award winning image for your wall makes it a priceless memory for you.

I cannot wait to bring amazing, bold images to your walls that really showcase the PNW and your pet out in nature, around their home or in their final moments. Contact me today to set up a session and maybe next year, your pup will be entered into the IPPC.

Now that his hooman mom has her gallery I am excited to show you a few of Gnocchi! He was so much fun to take photos of at Wright Park in Tacoma. Took advantage of the Spring flowers around W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory when they were close to make for a quiet time around the park.

So many amazing places around the park to capture beautiful images of your pup and family. Let me know if you are interested in booking a session around the PNW.

Have a great 4th of July! Please stay safe on the roads while traveling and while you shoot off fireworks.

Please be mindful of pets that are skitterish of fireworks or loud noises. Make sure they are secure in the house, no way for them to get through doors ir windows. A great tip I just saw is to put tennis balls in your dryer and run it. They will associate any big sound that gets through as the sound of tumbling balls.

Happy Fourth!

I recently saw a post on one of my local base pages from looking for vendors for their Fast CAT events. I’ve never really done dog events like this before, but I thought—how fun would it be to set up a booth for dog portraits?

Unfortunately (but totally understandably), they were already full for photographers. But Shawna was kind enough to invite me out to a Thursday practice to give it a try—and of course I said yes. Why not? I’ve done action shots in sessions before… so this felt like the perfect chance to try something new and get some great practice in!

And wow—what a blast it was.

For those who may not know, Fast CAT (Fast Coursing Ability Test) is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs chase a lure (usually a plastic bag). Simple, fast, and SO much fun to watch.

Seeing all the different breeds take off down the course was incredible—from speedy sighthounds and Whippets to Bull Terriers and even tiny Papillons. Every single run had its own personality, and you could just feel how much the dogs loved it.

If you’ve ever been curious about how fast your dog really is, I highly recommend checking out a local Fast CAT club. Many also offer Lure Coursing and Coursing Ability Tests if you want to explore even more.

And if you’re here in Western Washington, definitely take a look at Serendipity Dog Events to get started!

Ok friends, I had four amazing sessions last week with amazing pups in areas here on base and around the area. We had a great week of beautiful weather here in Western Washington. For those local, that was the sun we saw last week, I know its never out but it does come out once in awhile. 😀

I guess I can only pick one image. I know, I know, not fair but all of these amazing images will still be used in the International Pet Photographers Competition later this year but I can only have one picked for this challenge. Cropping is weird because of social media.

Please like or love the picture you feel I should use for the Composition challenge. The rules of thirds had to be used so either they had to be in the left, right or their eyes need to be in the top third of the photo. So please help me choose because I love them all!

Thank you to Goober, Lufty, Cash, Deacon and Case for being amazing models! Your galleries will be coming today to your humans for their enjoyment.

**Days are booked for this week. Still show me your pups because I will open a few more days next week depending on kids' soccer schedule **

I entered into a photography challenge and I need your help! I need models!
The challenge runs April 3rd to April 17th. I need to photograph pups with using the rule of thirds in composition. I already do that in my photography but just wanted to let you know the challenge. So this means I can utilize some of our amazing landmarks around this area.
Are you up to helping me with this challenge? Comment below with an image of your pup(s) and a little about them. I am only selecting a few because it is a fast challenge. Weather looks great this next week, allowing availability for sessions Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday currently. I may open up more if I am in search of another location. Sessions will be around Golden Hour depending on location. I am available to drive you and your pup to locations that are further than 30 minutes away.

Locations I would like to capture are:
-Owens Beach
-Around Mt. Si
-Around Mt. Rainer (need to find out what is open and allows pets)
-Around JBLM using the buildings Lewis side has to offer
-Or if you know of a place that can an epic photo around the area (urban areas are a great too!)

What do you get?
-High resolution images of any image I use for the challenge or future competitions
-In front of the lens of an award winning international pet photographer
-Last memories of your pet(s) you can cherish forever!
- 50% off any of my packages if you would like additional images and product but it is not required to be a model.
