my focus is..
your connection with the ones you love and your furry family members. I want to create a safe space for you to feel yourselves in and to have a great time. I just so happen to be there with my camera to capture both
photo and video.
Your pet's safety and comfort level is my first priority. Selecting a location that speaks to their comforts and accessibility is what we will do.
safe environment
Every session comes with a 1 minute highlight video to give you the moving picture along with your photographs. It brings an entire collection to our time together that makes it so much more special.
video with every session
A portion of each session purchased goes to Local Dog Rescues to Toronto that I volunteer my photography too. Helping dogs get that medical attention they need. See the rescue I work with!
Supporting Local Dog Rescues
I'm a small town girl and I love to return to Oxford County often for sessions and to visit family. Toronto and the GTA are my main areas but let me know and we can make it work!

"Danica made us all feel so comfortable from the very start. She provided a lot of helpful information and recommendations to prepare us for the session. When we got to the location it didn’t even feel like we were taking photos, just a fun stroll in the park. We were so impressed with the photos and video, which Danica got to us lightening fast! If you are thinking of booking with Danica, do it! The experience is great and the captured moments are even better! We can’t wait to do another session with Danica in the future."

"Personally, I am camera shy. Having to take a photo makes me nervous and I find myself to be awkward in front of a camera. Both times we shot with Danica, she made us (my puppy Oli and myself) feel at ease. She makes you feel comfortable and you forget you're having photos taken. I love how much of a collaboration a shoot is. She would walk me through her suggestions for a plan and asked if there were any shots that I wanted. She made my mom and friend's dog who we were baby sitting that day feel so welcome as well."

"I reached out to Danica because I wanted to get a few snaps of my foster dog for his adoption profile and I fell in love with her work on Instagram. It was a huge plus to support someone who volunteers her spare time with dog rescue organizations. She was incredibly responsive and squeezed me in quickly because she truly wanted to help. You can tell she has the biggest heart and a lot of love for these dogs - she made my foster feel so comfortable and captured the most perfect moments even as he was running around and exploring!

"I found Danica and her work through Instagram and what really separated her from the other pet photographers, in my opinion, was how she was able to capture warmth and joy so seamlessly in her photos. Not only is she a friendly, talented and easy-going photographer to work with, but her video compilations included with her shoots really just left me speechless. Our shoot happened to be on the most humid day of the summer & she made all of us look glowy and gorgeous vs sweaty and sticky!"

"Danica is an amazing photographer! She is very professional, has very open communication, and has a way of capturing moments so perfectly. Myself and my boyfriend are pretty camera shy, but Danica made sure we were comfortable and took some amazing photos. She was also amazing with our pup, she was very patient and exciting and able to get her attention for the perfect pics! Her lovely, bubbly personality made it very easy to feel at ease. We would highly recommend Danica to anyone searching for a photographer!"

"Danica is the absolute best at what she does! We are so impressed with her skill, talent and professionalism! She's also super sweet and makes you feel so, so comfortable while shooting. The pictures and video are better than we could have ever imagined. Danica, thank you for capturing our little family in such a beautiful way. Highly recommend! Quality service!"

"I had the best experience working with Danica! She is so accommodating and responsive despite all the times we had to reschedule because of the pandemic lockdowns. Danica made the session so fun and comfortable for me, my partner, and my dog. She was so good at working with my dog too, coming prepared with squeaky toys and was just so encouraging the whole time!"

"She chose an awesome location with a variety in the types of photos we got. We trusted her vision for the photos and they all came out beyond beautiful! She blew us away with the quality of the photos and how she was able to capture us all so naturally but enhanced. Danica is super friendly and easy to trust which makes a sometimes awkward experience of taking photos not awkward at all. I highly recommend her to anyone!"

marvel + chiara
"Firstly, Danica is responsive and professional. It was extremely cold during our photo shoot, and Danica consistently checked in and made the session so enjoyable. She was able to capture so much content in such a quick time, which made it much easier for us. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your furry friend and family, you cannot go wrong with Danica. She captured incredible memories of our new puppy and new family, and we are so glad we decided to do this photoshoot with her. If you're contemplating doing a pet session, just do it."
“you cannot go wrong with Danica."

"We have worked with Danica twice now and both times she was incredible. She made the sessions so much fun and it really came through in the photos. Danica made us (and our puppy) feel so at ease during the whole process. I love how she was able to capture us acting naturally with each other and our dog. Both times our photos turned out fantastic. The turn around time was fast and she went above and beyond what we could have anticipated."

HARRISON + FRANKIE
"We absolutely LOVED our pet photography session with Danica! She's professional, great at communication, super kind, and such a pleasure to work with overall. Her website/booking system is very user-friendly and we appreciated that she provided brochures on what to expect, how to coordinate outfits, and location options. What we adored most about Danica was how patient she was with our dogs. One of them is extremely anxious while the other can be very indifferent but she adjusted to their comfort levels in the new environment and managed to capture lovely photos of each of them."
“We absolutely LOVED our pet photography session with Danica!"
