OC Pet Photographer
Celebrate every member of your family.
“The most perfect experience I could ever imagine! I wanted to take my pocket beagle to take professional photos for his 3rd birthday but was very worried because he gets anxiety quite often. Carsten went above and beyond to make this experience for him the most fun he’s ever had! I am so grateful to have these photos for the rest of my life. I am already going to plan another session soon because of how beautiful the photos of my baby boy came out. This was a fun session I will remember forever!”

Share the spotlight or book a session just for them.
Your pets can join you at any type of portrait session. Or, if you’re feeling camera shy, schedule a special session just for your pet.
Whether you want to highlight your incredible bond, or you want the spotlight to be on them alone, there’s something for everyone.
I can't recommend Carsten enough! She did the most amazing shoot with my fur babies and was so patient and snagged some amazing photos I will cherish fur-ever!

All species welcome!
Your best friend deserves to occupy at least half as much space on your walls as they do in your heart. ❤️
Your stress-free
pet portrait experience awaits!
In addition to offering pet portraits on location or in the comfort and familiarity of your own home or yard, I also offer pet photography at my studio in Dana Point.
Besides being just minutes from the beach and other dog-friendly outdoor locations, my studio features a dedicated dog washing and drying station for those sandy or muddy paws. Take your pup home clean and dry!
“My heart is so full after seeing our family photos…Our dog is sick and it was so important to get photos of our sweet boy. Carsten was great with our two dogs and told me exactly what to do with my awkward hands. By the end of our time together I felt so comfortable being in front of the camera and I’m so happy the photos capture our family dynamic and look gorgeous.”
