At Paw Print Studio, we create portraits that go far beyond “cute dog photos.” Based in West Hartford and Norwalk, Connecticut, we specialize in high-end pet photography designed to capture the personality, spirit, and story of your dog—and the bond you share.

Every session is tailored to each pet and their person. Whether your dog is calm, energetic, anxious, or somewhere in between, our team creates a supportive and enjoyable experience. From the initial consultation to the reveal of custom-designed artwork, you’ll feel guided and cared for at every step.

Our portraits are crafted for clients who want more than images—they want a lasting, tangible way to celebrate their dog as part of the family.

[What People Rave About]

Clients say the experience is unforgettable—far beyond what they expected. They love how personal and patient the process is, especially how it adapts to each pet’s needs (anxious, elderly, disabled, rambunctious). Most clients cry when they see the portraits and can’t believe how beautifully their dog was captured. Many are surprised by how supported they feel throughout—from consultation to hand-delivery of artwork. They walk away with custom-designed wall pieces and albums they never imagined, and they cherish them forever.

[Secret Sauce]

The process is deeply intentional, emotional, and curated. The studio takes time to learn about both pet and owner, builds trust, and creates a truly customized, luxurious experience. Every detail—from lighting and posing to the final art—is designed to reflect the pet’s personality and the bond they share with their human. And clients *feel* that care, every step of the way.

[Misconceptions]

People often think this is about cute snapshots and a quick download gallery. In truth, it's a luxury portrait experience resulting in fine art and lasting keepsakes. Another myth: dogs need to sit still—most dogs don’t! With an experienced assistant dog handler at every session and techniques tailored to each pet’s personality, every animal shines.

[Must-Know Before First Call]

This is a premium, all-in experience—time- and investment-wise. You’ll collaborate closely with a pet-loving photographer who gets to know your animal deeply. It’s about crafting stunning studio portraits with dynamic lighting, rich emotion, and personality—whether that’s serious and stoic or delightfully goofy. Sessions are held in West Hartford or Norwalk, CT. Cats and other pets are welcome, and families are encouraged to be part of the portraits. All dogs welcome—no obedience required.

[Unforgettable Factor]

The level of care and thought in every interaction. Sessions begin with conversations about what *really* matters—why these portraits are important and how the pet fits into your life story. The owner’s background in UX means every touchpoint is crafted for comfort and clarity. And with a warm, playful personality and an infectious laugh, the vibe is always relaxed and genuine.
