Art that celebrates their chapter in your story
West Oak Pet Photography
Fine Art Dog Photography | Custom Portraits in Southeast Michigan
We all have thousands of snapshots of our pets on our phone, but how many of those are portraits that you would hang in your home?
The personality and beauty of your pet is worth capturing in a stunning work of art.
Life moves so quickly, we blink and a year has gone by, then 5 years, then 10 and before we know it, our pet has slowed down and become a senior before our very eyes.
As a pet photographer, I help pet parents invest in preserving memories of their beloved pets while capturing portraits they will cherish forever.
Because Your Dogs Are Family: Art That Celebrates Their Story.
Hey there, I’m Sarah!
If you're looking for someone who understands the 'always covered in dog hair' life, you've found her. I'm Sarah, and I'm a photographer who's completely obsessed with animals. Seriously, I'm their mom, and I'd do anything for them. And honestly, meeting your dogs? It's one of my favorite things!
I've always loved photography, but it's capturing the connection between pets and their people that truly fills me with joy. I want to create art that shows the real moments, the silly grins, the quiet cuddles, the pure love that fills your home. And yes, my clothes will probably have dog hair on them when we meet – it's just part of the job (and the joy!).
West Oak Photography is my way of celebrating my own furry family – Westley, Oakley, Meeko, and Remy. They're my world, and they've taught me so much about the beauty of unconditional love. And let's be real, a huge thanks to Ben, who not only puts up with my 'just one more' pet tendencies (valiant effort, honey!), but also wholeheartedly encouraged me to chase this crazy dream of opening a photography business. I couldn't have done it without him!
You're my kind of person if:
You consider dog hair a fashion accessory.
Your pets are your children, and you'd move mountains for them.
You genuinely light up when you meet a new dog.
I'm here to capture those genuine, heartfelt moments that show just how much your pets mean to you. Let's create something that truly reflects your unique bond.
Let's chat about your pack! I'm excited to meet you and your dogs. Reach out, and we'll create some beautiful memories together.
Crafting your pet’s story…
Your wall art will beautifully showcase their best side, but with your album, you will capture the whole, wonderful story – the playful gazes, the silly tongue lolling, and all those goofy, drool-on-the-chin moments that make your pet themselves (I don’t think there is a photo in existence where my boy Westley doesn’t have a drool droplet on his lip).
These albums aren't just about perfect poses; they're a complete celebration of your pet's personality, a collection you'll treasure forever.
“No one can fully understand the meaning of love unless he’s owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes. ”
