What I do
I create relaxed, natural portraits of pets and the people who love them. Sessions are built around your pet’s personality, comfort, and pace, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, elderly, or happiest staying close to home.
Where I work
I photograph pets throughout Nova Scotia, with most sessions taking place along the South Shore, including Liverpool, Bridgewater, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Shelburne, and surrounding communities. Sessions are also available in Halifax and other areas by request.
Who I serve
Heads and Tails Photography is for people who see their pets as family and want photographs that feel personal, natural, and true to them.
I photograph dogs, cats, horses, and other animals at every stage of life, from new puppies and everyday adventures to senior and legacy sessions.
How to book
Start by completing the contact form and telling me a little about your pet and the kind of session you’re considering. I’ll reply with availability, location guidance, and everything you need to decide whether the session feels right for you.
Why Families Choose Me
I blend artistic vision with deep understanding of animals, emotion, and timing. My sessions are calm, personalized, and centered around your pet’s comfort.
I’ve photographed pets professionally since 2015 and spent more than 10 years working in the veterinary field. That experience helps me understand animal behaviour, body language, mobility concerns, and the small adjustments that can make a session feel easier.
I know how to work with energy, shyness, age, and the unpredictable magic animals bring. For legacy sessions especially, I approach every experience with gentleness, respect, and an understanding of how much these images can come to mean.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my dog doesn’t sit still?
That is completely okay. I work with real animals, not perfect ones. Sessions are designed to be flexible and pet-led.
Do you only photograph dogs?
No. I photograph a variety of pets and always approach each session with patience and care.
What if my pet is very old or sick?
Legacy sessions are handled gently, with flexibility and compassion. Your pet’s comfort always comes first.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are held on location in beautiful outdoor settings across Nova Scotia, chosen for comfort, light, and meaning.
Do you help us know what to do?
Yes. I guide the process so you never have to wonder how to prepare, what to bring, or what happens next.
Their life is woven into yours. Let’s preserve that beautifully.
The days with them can feel ordinary while you are in them. Then one day, they become the days you miss most.
Whether your companion is still young and wild, growing older, or living in a season that feels especially tender, this is your chance to hold onto more than how they looked.
Let’s create images that feel like love, memory, and home.
