Meet The Artist!
Hey I’m Katherine the girl behind the camera at Vancouver Pet Photography. I feel beyond blessed to be pursuing a career in photography and, especially, lucky that it allows me to work with so many fun animals. My dream is to capture the joyful soul of your furry friend so that your special bond will never be forgotten.
I moved to Canada ten years ago from Caracas, Venezuela where I was born and raised (which means I can bark in both English and Spanish). Growing up back home, I was surrounded by a large, loving and passionate family; our house was full of laughter, colour and many, many pets. Over the years I have had dogs, a turtle, a few fish, birds and chickens. Yes, I was the kid who would sneak an animal into the house and hope my parents wouldn’t notice. They always did. Although I have loved all of my fur and feather children, I have to admit my dogs are my favourite. My heart has a soft spot for pugs. My first pug, Frank was my sweetheart and introduced me to pet photography. Today my darling girls Phoebe & Bubbles are my muses, partners in crime and a huge inspiration for my business.
I believe that pets are important members of a family and cannot wait to met your fur children.
Now, enough about me. I’d love to hear about you! Send me your love at hello@vancouverpetphotography.com
My dog is not very well behaved, can I still get good portraits?
Absolutely, that’s what I’m here for! I’ve worked with all kinds of pets, they usually have their own ideas on how the shoot is going to progress, and that’s ok! I always manage to get a range of awesome images. A basic sit-stay is helpful, but with a lot of patience and a bit of direction from their humans we will get the best out of your pet photography experience. So please don’t let your pet’s level of obedience discourage you from booking a session!
With shy/nervous pets our shoot may take a little longer , as I let them familiarize him/herself with the camera, surroundings and humans. This just might take more time but that's fine, pets welfare and comfort will always be my priority.
My dog can’t be off-leash, does it matter?
Believe it or not, most of the dogs I photograph outdoors are on-leash! I would prefer your dog is comfortable and under control, so working with a leash-on in most instances is the way it has to be. Leash removal is done in the post production stage, so after it's done, you would never even notice it was there.
Do you photograph pets other than dogs?
I sure do! I love animals of all kinds. Even though the majority of my clients are dogs and cats, I would love the opportunity to photograph all kinds of pets, from little lizards to huge horses, and anything in between.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
I can shoot in all sorts of weather conditions. When it comes to outdoors, sometimes a little bit of fog, rain or snow can add some magic to the session. In severe cases, in order to guarantee the best results If the weather isn’t agreeable (threat of storms or general unstable weather) we will probably need to reschedule the session to another day. We also might need to reschedule if it is very windy or excessively hot, to preserve the comfort of both us and our four pet!

"We did an in-studio holiday photo shoot with our two large dogs this past December. Katherine took care of all the props for us, and was extremely patient with our dogs. She let them get accustomed to the studio, and did not rush us one bit. She took such beautiful photos of our dogs and family, which we will cherish for years and years to come. Katherine is extremely talented at what she does. We are so happy to have found her, and will definitely be going back to her in the future!!!"

"Katherine is aaaaamazing! My 15 year old dog got stage 3 cancer and I planned his photoshoot just before he passed. Katherine was so pleasant, my dog loved her and she just did an amazing job with the shoot as well as the album and photo I ordered. For anyone who has a pet that they love and adore, you gotta do this, you'll regret it if you don't! The Album quality is 10/10 and so the portraits she offers. I feel really lucky to have found her!"

"I can’t say enough amazing things about Vancouver Pet photography!! Every step of the way was so personalized and she went the extra mile on every detail. She captured the true essence of the love I have for my dog and that is PRICELESS 💗"
