Beach-Loving Dogs Model Call

For a limited time only, I'm calling all beach-loving dogs (and their humans)!

Some dogs were simply born for the water — tails wagging, paws splashing, and faces that light up the second they see the ocean. If your pup is the type to dive right in and pretend they can’t hear you when it’s time to leave, trust me… I get it. My own golden retriever puppy is the king of “just one more swim.”


There’s nothing quite like those golden, sun-kissed moments — the joyful zoomies on the sand, the epic wet-dog shakes, and the adorable sandy noses at the end of the day. And that’s exactly what I want to capture!


I’m looking for a few pawsome beach models to help build my portfolio and show the magic of a beach photography experience — all the fun, laughter, and pure doggy joy that happens when the waves meet wagging tails.


If your water-loving fur baby is ready for a splashy adventure (and maybe a little sand between the toes), this is their moment to shine! 


My model requirements:

  • A water-loving, tail-wagging superstar who can’t wait to make a splash!
  • Good recall and happy to roam off-leash
  • Knows the basics (sit, stay) —and extra points for any tricks!
  • Friendly and loves making new doggy friends
  • An owner who’s up for a little fun in front of the camera too.

What you will receive:

  • Waived session fee (a $200 value!)
  • Pre-session phone consultation to tailor your experience
  • A relaxed 1–2 hour photoshoot filled with fun and personality
  • $100 credit toward stunning wall art collections
  • Three high-resolution digital images to treasure forever
  • A personalised design and ordering appointment to help you choose your favourites.
