Josh E. & Bodie

“I am so happy with how my photos turned out! Bodie is a reactive dog and we had never considered doing anything like this. Em listened to our needs, found a secluded location, and had the patience and kindness to wait until Bodie was comfortable. Her interactions with Bodie calmed him down. She clearly has a special knack around dogs. I would recommend Em, not just for the high quality photos, but the overall experience and customer service she provides. I can't wait to have a photoshoot with my other pup!”
