BOOKINGS NOW OPEN AGAIN FOR SUMMER & FALL 2026
Hounds & Horizons is all about capturing natural photographs of dogs in the beautiful landscapes of British Columbia's Sea to Sky region while providing a relaxed, force-free experience where both dogs and their humans can thrive. Together, we'll freeze the light, the emotions, and that special bond you share with your dog - creating memories you'll treasure for years to come.
Embark on a beautiful adventure with your heart dog.
This is your photoshoot, which means it's all about you and your dog. Every session is carefully tailored to suit your dog's unique personality, needs, and comfort level.
Have a water-loving retriever? Let's head to a lake or the beach. Is your dog reactive or easily overwhelmed? We'll find a quiet location all to ourselves. Do your happiest moments happen on the trail? Then let's venture into the mountains together.
Whether it's muddy paws, golden sunsets, windswept summits, or quiet moments shared between you and your best friend, let's capture the memories that matter most—the ones you'll want to display on your walls and treasure forever.

Dog Experience
Dogs have always been at the heart of my life. Through years of working with hundreds of dogs across multiple countries, I've met dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and backgrounds - from confident to sensitive, from energetic puppies to beloved seniors. Every dog is unique, and I take the time to understand what makes yours special. By working with their personality rather than against it, I create a relaxed experience that allows their true character to shine through.
Force-Free Approach
Your dog's wellbeing will always come first. There is no pressure, no force, and no expectation for your dog to perform. Sessions are built around positive experiences, using treats, toys, praise, and plenty of breaks along the way. Whether your pup needs extra time to settle, a few sniff breaks, or simply lots of cuddles, we'll move at their pace. The most meaningful photographs happen when dogs feel safe, relaxed, and free to be themselves.
Adventure & Connection
The best memories are found away from poses - it's the muddy paws, the windswept summits, the quiet walks, and the shared adventures. Whether we're exploring mountain trails, wandering through forests, or chasing golden light by the water, my goal is to capture the connection you share with your dog and the life you've built together. These are more than photographs. They are memories of your favourite companion and a bond worth remembering forever.

" My dog would never be able to do that"
Or so you think! Your dog does not need to be perfect!
The dogs you see in my portfolio are not trained models - they are much-loved everyday pets with their own quirks, distractions, personalities, and opinions.
Your dog does not need perfect recall, fancy tricks, or the ability to sit still for ages. Many dogs are photographed safely on leash, which will be edited out afterwards. Safety and comfort always come first, and we will never put your dog in a situation that feels stressful or unsafe just for a photo.
Whether your dog is bouncy, shy, reactive, senior, easily distracted, or simply has their own ideas, the session will be adapted to them. The goal is not perfection - it is capturing your dog as they truly are.

"Cannot recommended Laura enough! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she always captures the pup’s personality so well. Our photoshoot was lovely and relaxed, she made me feel super comfortable in front of the lens. Laura was amazing with my dog Elmo, she had all the tricks to get him posing perfectly. The photos turned out absolutely stunning!"
Hannah & Elmo
Your Photographer
Hi, I’m Laura!
I grew up in a small village in Germany and left in 2017 for what was meant to be a gap year. Somehow, I’m still overseas.
I taught myself photography in New Zealand during lockdown, and what started as a little hobby soon became a heartfelt business I’m really proud of.
Animals have always shaped who I am, and working with dogs every day has taught me to notice body language, individual personalities, and the little moments others might miss.
I love capturing dogs as they truly are - their expressions, their connection with nature, and the bond they share with their humans.
When I’m not out with dogs, you’ll probably find me hiking backcountry trails, heading off on camping road trips, catching up with friends over coffee, or learning yet another Sea to Sky hobby.
