I have been a professional photographer for over 15 years with 5+ specializing in pets. Hi, I’m Trish Dole—professional photographer, lifelong animal person, and the human your pet will probably like A-LOT. I’ve spent 17 years photographing people and the last 5 years specializing exclusively in pets, backed by 15 years as a Registered Veterinary Technician and my work as a Canine Physiotherapist.
In short: I get animals—how they move, think, feel, and when they need a break. I’ve worked with every personality imaginable, from shy wallflowers to wild extroverts, and I have tricks for just about everyone. Dogs, cats, reptiles, horses—if it has a heartbeat (or scales), I’ve probably photographed it. Whether it’s new puppy photos, birthdays, engagements, weddings, family portraits, or end-of-life sessions, I approach every shoot with patience, respect, and heart. All sessions take place in a pet-friendly, slow-paced, low-stress studio, designed to keep things calm, safe, and fun—for both pets and their people. Because your pet isn’t “just a pet.” And they deserve photos that feel like them.
