ADORED BEASTS
Pet Portraiture for those who care more about memories than mascara
FROM QUIET TO CHAOS
Our dogs are more than companions — they are part of our families, our routines, and our stories. Each of them carrying a personality entirely their own: expressive, playful, loyal, gentle, curious.
Using clean white and grey studio backgrounds, these sessions focus solely on capturing the individuality and presence of your pet in an honest and timeless way.
Minimal distractions. Genuine expression. Portraits designed to last a lifetime.
MY HUSBAND AND HIS LOVE FOR CRITTERS
I’ve always had a love for animals. But it wasn’t until I met my husband that I started to develop more of an understanding of the less common type of house hold pet. Read more…

01
DISCOVERY CALL
Hop on a quick 15 minute call to determine if we’re the right fit for each other. During this call we will chat about what you’re hoping for in a session of your dog, how you’d like to display your images and I will share how sessions work.
02
SESSION
Calm energy makes for great sessions. This is what I bring to each shoot. We will do our best to get your pup into place using their favourite toys and treats. Slow and steady is key.
03
ART
A session isn’t complete until you have your favourite photo/s on the wall. Every booking comes with an 8” x 10” fine art print. Clean, simple and easy to frame for your wall.
“We went into our session with Jamie hoping for a couple of nice photos of Hugo and us, but honestly, I wasn’t sure how much we’d get. Hugo is old, blind, and mostly deaf, and photo sessions aren’t exactly designed for that stage of life.
Jamie completely exceeded our expectations. She was patient, calm, and somehow managed to capture him exactly as he is. Not just what he looks like, but his spirit. That’s not easy to do, especially with a senior dog who can’t see or hear cues.
What I loved most was how unhurried it felt. There was no pressure, no stress, just this steady, kind presence that made all of us feel comfortable.
Seeing the images printed is something else entirely. They feel like a time capsule. At this stage in Hugo’s life, that means more than I can really put into words.
I’m so grateful we did it, thank you, Jamie!!”

JAMIE + PIXEL
Pixel and I share a very special bond. If he could be on my lap 24/7, he would. He’s 1/2 chiweenie, 1/2 rat terrier, and 100% bundle of energy, intensity, love, cheekiness, and often irritatingly cute. I would not trade him for the world. Being the pup of a photographer, Pix has naturally been around a studio environment in our home since he was a baby. What started with uncertain pitter-patter around the paper backdrop is now his favourite spot because he knows he’ll get some yummy treats when he sits in the right spot. It’s been wonderful documenting his journey and watching him grow into the different stages in his life.

GIVING BACK
I have partnered with Barney’s Furry Friends, a local rescue to help dogs get the visibility they need to get adopted using my skills in photography and motion. As well, 3% of all sessions get donated back to help pups in need. Barney’s rescues numerous dogs a year with the help of volunteers, donations and foster families. They work with local vets to give the dogs the medical attention they need and local trainers to help with rehabilitation to support getting them into their furever homes.

The studio can come to you as long as you have at least a 15’x15’ area of space in your home. This usually means a spare room in your home or the ability to shuffle some furniture out of your living room to make space. Depending on the size of space you have, there may be some restrictions in terms of what kind of images we can achieve. Please inquire and share more details info@jamiepoh.com

My studio is located in Burnaby near Lake City Way.

Come with some of your dog’s favourite treats. Be sure not to give too many before your session if they are treat motivated. This will help us out during your session. Bring any favourite toys that may help us get their attention.
Each dog should have 1 wrangler. If you have 2 dogs coming to be photographed, there should be 2 wranglers present. Basically 1 hooman to every dog.

These sessions are being considered on a pet-by-pet basis. I’d love to photograph you and your pet but need to make sure we have a conversation first, as every animal may have different needs. Please reach out at info@jamiepoh.com

I have worked with a few animals that are terrified of the camera. It is ideal that we have a conversation about this to ensure your pet’s safety and well being. Stressing your pet out is the last thing I want to do however having a pet that can listen is ideal to achieving a specific set of portraits.
