Pet-focused brand photography for pet businesses in Squamish, Whistler, Vancouver, and the Sea to Sky.
Do you run a business that caters to dogs and their people?
Whether you’re a local groomer, trainer, pet-friendly business, veterinary clinic, product brand, or dog-focused service provider, thoughtful imagery can help your business feel more personal, trustworthy, and memorable. I create natural, heartfelt images designed to support your marketing, branding, website, and social media presence. With years of experience photographing dogs and working with a wide variety of personalities, I understand how to create images that feel genuine while keeping the dogs comfortable throughout the process. Depending on your project, we can create custom imagery specifically for your business or explore licensing options from my existing archive of dog, lifestyle, and adventure-focused photographs. Whether you need fresh website images, social media content, product photography, wall art, or campaign visuals, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.

TESTIMONIAL
" Laura is incredible at capturing every dog's unique personality. Working with her and many of Take the Lead QT’s pups she has the patience of a saint. From our first shoot in October 2021 to our most recent shoot in July 2022, I have loved all of her work. She gave me the confidence to step in front of the camera and personalise my brand. She’s always provided me with images that I found impossible to choose from (I just had to buy more!). Her calm and focus with each dog is so lovely to see and everyone has always been blown away by the photos of their beloved pets. I have loved to see her style develop and grow. I’ll look forward to seeing what the future holds for Laura as her career expands. She will be missed in NZ! "
Take The Lead
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. Somewhere along the way, photography and dogs became the heart of my work.
I taught myself photography in New Zealand during lockdown, and what started as a little hobby soon grew into a heartfelt business I’m really proud of. Since then, I’ve photographed dogs for private clients, rescues, and dog-focused businesses, creating natural images that feel warm, honest, and connected.
Working with dogs on a daily basis has taught me so much about body language, individual personalities, and the importance of keeping each dog comfortable throughout the process. That experience shapes the way I approach every shoot, whether I’m photographing a product, a brand story, a business space, or the bond between dogs and their humans. I love creating images that help people feel something - trust, warmth, connection, adventure, and the little moments that make dogs so special.
