A Year of Memories With Your Best Friend
This membership was created for people who know their dog isn’t “just a pet.” They are family. They are a chapter of your life you never want to forget.
The Beloved Pet Photo Membership is a year-long experience designed to help you slow down, show up, and make intentional memories with your dog right now. Over the course of twelve months, you’ll be invited into thoughtfully planned photo sessions and exclusive events that celebrate your dog in different seasons of life.
Instead of scrambling to book sessions or missing moments, your photography is already planned. Your memories are already prioritized. And your images become a living record of a year that you will always be grateful you captured.
This membership is limited and intentionally intimate, allowing for meaningful experiences, beautiful portraits and genuine connection with your dog and with a community of fellow pet lovers who feel the same way you do.
If you believe time with your dog is precious and worth honoring, this membership was made for you.
What’s Included
Your membership includes one full custom photo session designed to capture you and your dog exactly as you are. This session can take place on location, in your home, or in my studio, and is approached with the same care and storytelling focus as my standard custom experience. We’ll choose a setting that feels meaningful to you, allowing your dog’s personality and your connection together to naturally unfold.
Included for Members:
• 12 fully edited still images
This is the anchor of your year. A timeless, personal, and deeply intentional photo session experience.
One Custom Storytelling Photo Session
Your membership also includes two Limited Edition Sessions. One in the spring and one in the fall. These sessions are thoughtfully curated each year at a specific location and designed to celebrate the feeling of the season. No two years are ever the same. Each experience is created with fresh inspiration, ensuring your images feel unique and current, capturing this chapter of your life with your dog.
Included for Members:
• 6 fully edited still images from each session
These sessions are perfect for capturing growth throughout the year.
Two Seasonal Photo Sessions
This membership is about more than photographs. It’s about connection. Throughout the year, you’ll be invited to four exclusive, members-only events designed to create genuine experiences with your dog while connecting with a community of like-minded pet parents. From relaxed outings to celebratory gatherings, each event is intentionally planned to be fun, meaningful, and memorable. You’ll walk away with shared moments, new connections, and of course beautiful images woven into real life.
Included for Members:
• Images from events
Specific event details can be found in the FAQ section below.
Four Member-only Events
Cost: $175/month
Accepting 10 new members for 2026
Your membership includes a $600 artwork credit to transform your favorite images into tangible pieces for your home.
This credit is designed to help you move beyond digital files and create something lasting, whether that’s statement wall art, a handcrafted album, or a meaningful display piece you’ll see every day. Instead of wondering what to do with your images, you’ll have built-in support to turn them into heirloom artwork that tells the story of your year together.
Because these memories deserve more than a screen.
$600 Artwork Credit
Included with your Custom Storytelling Session is a cinematic highlight video, bringing your experience to life in motion.
There’s something powerful about seeing the way your dog runs toward you, tilts their head, or leans into your touch. This short film captures the in-between moments; the movement, personality, and connection that still images can’t fully express.
It’s often the piece members treasure most. A living memory of this season of life, exactly as it felt.
Cinematic highlight video
One of the most meaningful parts of this membership is the opportunity to turn your images into tangible artwork pieces that live in your home and become part of your everyday life. Artwork transforms fleeting moments into something lasting, allowing you to see and remember your dog not just as they were, but how they made you feel.
I offer a curated selection of museum quality artwork, including framed prints, albums, and custom pieces designed to complement your home and style. Each piece is crafted with intention and made to stand the test of time, so your images can be enjoyed now and cherished for years to come.
During your membership, I’ll guide you through the artwork process, helping you choose images and products that feel meaningful rather than overwhelming. The goal is never to fill walls, but to create pieces that make you smile and quietly remind you of a year well lived with your best friend.

BEHIND THE LENS
Hello! I’m Amanda
(And the pups next to me are Lady and Hannah.) With over a decade of photography experience and a lifetime spent working with animals, I understand just how deeply our dogs are woven into our everyday lives. My background in documentary-style photography shapes the way I approach each session. Not with stiff posing or rushed moments, but with patience, intuition, and an eye for the quiet, meaningful details that make your relationship unique.
I believe photographs should feel like memories; honest, emotional, and timeless. The images we create together are meant to tell the story of this season with your dog, preserving their personality, your connection, and the small moments you never want to forget.

Because this membership is built around thoughtfully planned experiences, certain sessions and events take place on specific dates and cannot be rescheduled if missed.
Member-only events are held on set dates. If you’re unable to attend an event, it is unfortunately forfeited. Many events take place outdoors, and in the case of inclement weather, a designated rain date will be provided.
Limited Edition Sessions are offered at a specific location on one or two set dates. Members may choose from the available options. If you’re unavailable for those dates, that particular session is forfeited and cannot be rescheduled or replaced. If sessions are outside a designated rain date will be provided. (Some Limited Edition Sessions may be able to be scheduled on a different date. However, this is not guaranteed and depends on session location.)
Your Custom Storytelling Session, however, is much more flexible. This session can be scheduled at any time during your membership year, and we’ll work together to choose a date and location that works best for you and your dog. If something comes up, this session may be rescheduled as needed.
-
Your membership includes a $600 artwork credit that can be applied toward custom, museum quality artwork created from any of your membership sessions. Most members choose to apply their credit after their Custom Storytelling Session. However, the credit may also be used toward artwork from either of your Limited Edition Sessions if you prefer.
The artwork credit may be applied toward ready to display printed pieces such as:
Wall art
Albums
Desktop displays
It may also be applied toward a digital image collection of 20 images or more. The credit is intended for finished artwork and image collections, and cannot be used toward gift prints or gift items. Any remaining balance beyond the credit will be due at the time of ordering.
I’ll guide you through the artwork selection process, helping you choose pieces that feel meaningful, intentional, and perfectly suited to your home, so your images live on well beyond the session itself.
-
The membership is designed for pet parents who want more than a one-off session. It’s a fully planned year of experiences, connection, and storytelling.
As a member, you receive more digital images included with your sessions than when booking individual photo sessions, making this an ideal option for those who value digital collections and long-term storytelling. When compared to booking sessions individually, the membership also offers meaningful cost savings. If booking each of these sessions with additional digital packages as a non-member, the total cost would be over $3,000.
Beyond the images, the biggest difference is ease and intention. Your sessions and events are already planned for you. No remembering to book, no missing seasonal opportunities, and no starting from scratch each time. Everything is thoughtfully scheduled in advance so you can simply show up and enjoy the experience with your dog.
The membership also includes access to exclusive events and a like-minded community of pet parents, creating shared experiences that go far beyond a traditional photo session.
In short, this isn’t just photography. It’s a curated year with your dog.
-
These sessions are absolutely not just for your dog. Your relationship together is part of the story.
Your Custom Storytelling Session is fully inclusive and can feature you, your family members, and your other pets. This session is designed to capture real connection and can accommodate a wider group comfortably.
Limited Edition Sessions can also include people and additional pets. Because these sessions are shorter and more streamlined, they are capped at up to four beings total, split between people and animals. This allows each session to remain relaxed while still creating meaningful images.
Member-only events vary in structure depending on the experience. Most events are designed for one person per dog to ensure safety, flow, and a positive experience for all dogs involved. If you have multiple dogs, participation may include one or two people depending on your dogs’ temperaments and the specific event.
The year-end Christmas event is a people-only experience.
Details for each event will be shared in advance so you’ll know exactly what to expect and can plan accordingly.
-
Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive a link to schedule your membership planning meeting.
This is a relaxed Zoom call where we’ll get to know each other, talk about your dog(s), and walk through the membership in more detail. I’ll answer any questions you have, help you understand how everything works, and begin planning the best possible year of sessions and experiences for you and your dog.
By the end of the call, you’ll know exactly what to expect and your year will already feel thoughtfully mapped out and easy to enjoy.
-
Yes. Your membership begins in the month you enroll and lasts for 12 consecutive months.
After your planning meeting, we’ll set up convenient monthly auto-pay for the full 12-month term. This allows everything to run smoothly while your sessions, events, and experiences unfold throughout the year.
Your membership officially concludes 12 months from your start date, ensuring you have a full year to enjoy everything included.
-
That’s absolutely okay!
Your Custom Storytelling Session can include as many dogs and people as you’d like. This session is designed to be relaxed and flexible, making it ideal for multi-dog households.
For Limited Edition Sessions and member-only events, participation may vary depending on the experience. Because Limited Edition Sessions are shorter in nature, photographing more than three dogs can be challenging.
Most events are designed for one to two dogs per person, with safety and flow always being the top priority. Specific details and guidelines for each event will be shared in advance so you know exactly what to expect and can plan accordingly.
My goal is always to create a positive experience for you and your dogs while still maintaining the quality and intention of each session and event.
