Because You Will Never Regret Capturing These Memories With Your Best Friend.
A Maine Dog Photography Experience For Both Of You.
They say dogs are a (wo)man’s best friend—
But I say they are so much more; they’re family, a shoulder to cry on, and the center of our world.
From a whispered conversations nobody else will hear, planning every vacation around whether or not they can join, to lighting up the moment someone gives you an excuse to talk about them—you get it. Your dog isn’t just part of your life. They are your life.
Sound like you? Then welcome—you’re in the right place. And that love your share with your dog? It’s absolutely worth celebrating.
At Gina Soule Photo, your session is more than just a photoshoot. It’s a fully tailored and deeply personal dog photography experience. Crafted with care to celebrate exactly who your dog is, and the incredible bond you two share. From start to finish, you and your dog will be guided every step of the way through your photography experience. And the best part? You’ll walk away with stunning, one-of-a-kind artwork that captures you and your dog’s story—exactly as it deserves to be remembered.
Your Dog Deserves More Than Just Pretty Pictures, They Deserve Portraits That Truly Embody Them.
The Experience: What To Expect
Let’s Say Hello - Reach out using any of the contact buttons to start the process. We’ll schedule an inquiry call, and let the magic happen. I want to hear all about your exact vision for your portraits, your dog, and of course, how we can bring this all to life, together.

From the perfect location, your outfit, and the final artwork we will create, no stone is will be left unturned.

A Session That Feels More Like a Playdate - When you schedule with me, you can rest assured that you are my only session for the day. That means no rushing, no stressing, and more time for playing, adventuring, and exploring! All of my sessions are force-free, and we work at your dog’s pace. That means no forced posing, no pressure, and working only in your dog’s comfort zone. Their happiness is always my top priority, ensuring not only do they have a great time, but so don’t you!
From Adventure to Art - After your session, we will schedule an Artwork Ordering Appointment. I will walk you through the best images from your session, and how they could be displayed throughout your home - scaled to your walls, and tailored to your space.

Ready to Display and Love - All artwork arrives ready to hang and display in your home. You will never regret capturing these moments in time with your best friend — especially through art that just feels like them, allowing you to relive those special moments you shared over and over again.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my photo session with Gina. The session was amazing. She made my dogs feel comfortable and the locations were perfect. The images she presented to me were nothing short of breathtaking. I am in awe of how beautiful they came out. The album I purchased is just stunning. I will cherish these images of my beautiful pups for the rest of my life. I will be using Gina again I have no doubt. I can’t recommend Gina enough.”

The Professional Dog Photography Difference
You wouldn’t hire a food photographer to take your wedding photos, so why not hire a specialized dog photographer to capture your pet at their very best?
If you’ve ever thought “I would love a photoshoot of my dog, but…”
…‘I have a black dog, they are so hard to photograph!’,
or ‘…my dog gets nervous around other dogs and people’,
or ‘…my dog just won’t look at the camera’
Or that you can just order your own artwork online…
…but when it comes time to do so, the options, materials, and sizing are too overwhelming, and the printing quality is lack luster
Or that your cell phone takes amazing photos…
…except in reality your camera roll is filled with mostly blurry faces mid-blink moments…
Or I only want digitals, I am not interested in art…
…I challenge you to think of a time that scrolling through your emails to find a lost gallery link, or your IG feed to find the image you’re thinking of, has truly brought a smile to your face and allowed you to relive those moments over and over again…

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
No off leash? No problem! Since we will be in an urban setting, all dogs will remain on-leash for their safety. I will even bring specialty collars for your dogs to wear that are easy to remove in post-processing, so it appears as if the were off-leash the entire time!
-
No training? No problem here! Your dog’s portrait sessions isn’t about stellar obedience, it is about letting them be 100% themselves. From zoomies in all directions, to exploring their surroundings, there has never been a dog, no matter the training level, that I haven’t been able to create breathtaking one-of-a-kind portraits of!
-
Honestly, dogs are kind of like potato chips in my mind, you can’t ever have just one! And if you have more than one pup in your household, it just wouldn’t be fair to not create art from your session featuring them all! Each specialty session time slot has a 2-dog limit, so if you have more than 2 dogs, please choose an additional time slot so that we can’t include all of them in on the fun.
-
Of course you can be in the photos with your dog! I don’t just allow this, I encourage it! Your dog is your best friend; embrace the moment, take the photo, and love the lasting memories of you two, together.
-
We live in a digital age - so why art?
Imagine the emotions you feel when you catch sight of your dog’s portrait displayed on the walls of your own home as you walk to make your morning cup of coffee, or imagine flipping through the pages of an album that captures an entire afternoon of memories that you two shared. Have you ever felt this way with an online gallery link that you’ve lost in your email? Yeah, me either. That is the power of physical artwork; it provides an experience that digital mediums simply just cannot replace or replicate.
The friendship you and your dog share is tangible, your art should be too.
-
YES! And the best part—you’ll get both: digital files AND stunning artwork. You and your dog deserve the best of both worlds!
Digital photos are great for sharing and scrolling, but here at Gina Soule Photo, we specialized in finished fine art pieces. Why you might ask? Because you and your dog’s love, bond, and friendship is tangible, so your portraits should be too! We want you to be able to relive those moments you shared with your dog each and every time you walk through your home and see your dog’s portraits on your walls. Or when you sit down on the couch and flip through the pages of your album with your dog at your side. The is the magic of finished pieces of art. However, we know you’ll want to share your images with your friends and family! That is why every portrait that is turned into art comes with the corresponding web sized digital image, perfect for sharing with friends and family!
For breeders:
Are you a breeder looking for professional photos of your dogs? We are happy to work with ethical breeders who believe in breeding AKC-recognized purebred dogs with health and wellbeing at the forefront of their breeding program! This includes breeders who believe in OFAs, health Testing for breed-specific ailments, Genetic Testing, as well as breeding to standard.
We have a very small number of sessions available for breeders per year. These sessions are more natural in their edits, and focus on confirmation and stride of the dog. If you are interested in our regular fine art session for a dog that is part of your breeding program, please inquire about one of our custom pet photography sessions and we can discuss working your photos into stud ads, etc.
