With a background in dog walking, fostering, and rescue work, I understand canine behavior deeply, which means safer, smoother sessions and more authentic results.
Experience beyond the camera
As someone who knows how much they mean to you, I’ve built my work around including them with ease, joy, and care.
I always make space for your pups!
With a mix of candid moments and timeless portraits, I capture your day exactly how it unfolds — honouring your unique story, your love, and of course, your furry family members.

My wedding films are crafted with a fly-on-the-wall presence—quietly observant, never intrusive. I believe the most meaningful moments unfold naturally, so I take a non-performative approach that lets you stay present.

Frequently Asked Questions
REGULAR SESSIONS:
1-3 weeks (depending on the season).
WEDDINGS:
4-8 weeks (depending on the season).
when can you expect photos/videos back?
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, I’m happy to offer an alternate date based on my availability — although I never mind embracing a little rain! For any non-weather-related rescheduling, please contact me as early as possible. Rescheduling fees may apply.
what if we have to reschedule?
Yes! I come back to my hometown at least once a season sometimes twice! I always announce my travels through my email newsletter.
do you still work in oxford county?
That’s completely okay. I work at your dog’s pace and choose locations and prompts that help everyone feel safe and comfortable. We take breaks when needed and let your pup lead.
What if my dog is nervous or reactive?
Only if it’s safe and permitted in the location. Otherwise, I guide you on using long leads and angles that keep your pup secure while still creating beautiful, natural images.
Can my dog be off-leash during the session?
Perfect — that’s not the goal. We focus on movement, connection, and in-between moments rather than posed shots.
What if my dog doesn’t want to “perform” for the camera?
Yes! As long as everyone can safely be together, I’m happy to photograph multi-dog families and guide the session to keep things calm and fun.
Can multiple dogs join one session?
You’re exactly who these sessions are for. I offer gentle guidance, movement-based prompts, and a calm environment so you never feel on display.
What if I’m camera-shy but want photos with my dog?
Not at all. Your pup doesn’t need to sit, stay, or perform on cue. These sessions are designed around real behavior and natural moments, not perfection.
Does my dog need to be trained to participate in a session?
We did a photoshoot with our dog with Danica, and our photos turned out great!! She was comfortable around our reactive dog and got some really amazing shots of him (and us). She is professional and efficient, we received 60+ photos from just a 30 min session. Danica is super nice, communication was easy and turnaround time was quick.

what pet parents are saying...
She made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She was also great with our rescue Nori who is very excitable and wiggly. We loved how the photos turned out they were breathtaking. We'll most likely ask her to photoshoot us again once we have our little baby girl!

JANE
What an absolute delight Danica was! She captured my family's vibe so well and had a natural gift at getting everyone comfortable in front of the camera. We had three dogs, three little kids and a dozen adults and she was able to quickly get stunning shots of us all, including candids and little extras like behind the scenes videos. I can't say enough!
