Kansas City Pet Photography - Dog portrait by Paws and Snap

The Artist Behind the Lens

Capturing the heart of Kansas City’s dogs for over 30 years.

Professional Dog Photographer Paws & Snap in Parkville, MO

Experience You Can Trust

With 30 years of professional photography experience and two decades spent handling and showing dogs, I’ve learned one vital thing: Patience is the most important piece of equipment I own. Whether your dog is a high-energy puppy, a shy rescue, or a dignified senior, I have the "dog sense" to work at their pace.

I don’t just take a picture; I capture the look they give you right before you toss a ball, the quiet dignity of their grey muzzle, and the unique spirit that makes them yours.

Our 20-Acre Parkville Studio

Most "pet-friendly" locations are crowded with distractions and off-leash risks. That’s why I invite you to our private, 20-acre sanctuary in Parkville, MO.

  • Safe & Secure: Our gates are always closed, providing a stress-free environment for dogs who might be reactive or easily distracted.

  • Relaxed Atmosphere: No rushing, no crowds. The coffee is always on, and we take all the time your dog needs to feel comfortable.

  • Indoor & Outdoor: We offer both high-end studio portraits and beautiful natural-light outdoor sessions, all on one private property.

While my heart is in Kansas City, my work is recognized nationally. My images have been featured on the covers of national breed magazines and used by major canine publications. This level of technical skill ensures that your family portraits are captured with the highest professional standards, ready to be displayed as fine art in your home.

As featured in

both the print and digital versions of Show Sight Magazine and the Canine Chronicle.
