Vibrant Pet Photography in Nova Scotia

This is Dog Photography
This is where everything begins! It is your thrilling first step towards immortalizing the beautiful moments with your beloved furry companions. You’ll encapsulate the profound bond shared among every member of your family. Each dog touches our hearts in a unique way, teaching us invaluable lessons and leaving us richer for the experience. They bring joy and laughter into our lives, and yes, they sometimes draw tears as well. These loyal souls hold our secrets, embody unwavering honesty, and inspire us to strive to be better humans. Each one is exceptional. Some will shine in dog sports. Some will be heroes that save lives. Others will serve as devoted support animals. Some will be cherished couch companions. Capture their essence. They playfully stumble through life as tiny puppies. They stand by your side as devoted adults. They gracefully age as wise seniors. Remember them always!








Preserving Cherished Moments
Hello East Coast!
Hi there, I’m Jennifer, and I’m beyond excited to be your local pet photographer here in Nova Scotia! After spending 17 years in the stunning landscapes of southern Alberta, I’m now calling this beautiful province home. It’s here that I’m continuing my journey, capturing the special bonds between pets and their families.
In 2020, right in the midst of the chaos that was COVID, we were blessed with a little surprise. Our sweet daughter Caleigh was born 10 weeks early. She has completely transformed our world. Now, as a vibrant, fiery preschooler, she’s our daily reminder of how precious life is. In 2024, we faced another surprise. It was more of a blow than a surprise. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Nearly 1 year later, I am still fighting. I will be opening my schedule to new clients this summer. I will start photographing dogs in one of the most beautiful provinces.
Along with Caleigh, we share our home with our beloved 7-year-old Great Dane, Tyrus. We also have our cat, Alex, who will be 17 later this year. They make our family whole. This deep connection to our furry loved ones fuels my passion for capturing these special bonds.
Living here in Nova Scotia, we’re surrounded by a tight-knit community of pet lovers. Nova Scotia has a stunning coastline. Its interior is picturesque. This province offers the perfect backdrop to celebrate our pets as family. And I’m so lucky I can help bring these beautiful moments to life with my photography.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing more than 300 dogs. I know exactly how to capture those brief but beautiful moments of focus and love—yes, brief! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy rescue dog, I approach every session with patience and care. I take the same approach for the tender moments at the end of a beloved pet’s life. I’ve worked with all types of animals—cats, exotics, horses, and even pocket pets—and always guarantee their safety and comfort. Most photos are taken on leash for safety, and any leashes are carefully removed during post-production.
I have over 14 years of experience in the veterinary field. I have spent countless hours volunteering with rescue groups. Because of this, I understand the unique needs of animals in front of the lens. I have skill in animal behavior. I also have experience with giant breed dogs, like Great Danes. This means I’m not just a photographer—I’m a true animal advocate. I’m here to guide you through a session that feels natural and relaxed.
Let me help you create a lasting memory with your fur family—whether it’s a playful portrait or a touching keepsake. If you’re ready to celebrate the incredible bond you share with your pet, click below to book your session today. Let’s create something beautiful together!

An Unforgettable Experience!
I had such an amazing experience with Jennifer. She took us to the most beautiful spot for photos and took her time getting perfect shots. She was so pleasant and the photos were stunning. I ended up buying extra photos on top of my package. I couldn’t narrow down my choices because they were so good! She does a huge variety of shots and is very creative with her ideas. Highly recommend!!

Simply Stunning Work!
Jen is an amazing photographer and so easy to work with! We booked a session with our dog and family. She provided several options for places to get the perfect shot. She was very communicative leading up to the session and responsive to any questions/concerns. Day of the shoot our pup was quite nervous and Jen was amazing with him (and us). She took amazing photos too! We had an amazing experience. We will definitely choose Heads and Tails photography for our family portraits again in future!
