A Caring and Relaxing Experience
What Pasadena & San Marino Pet Owners Are Saying:
I can’t recommend Sandra enough! From the moment we started, she was incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with Monkey. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, which instantly put both of us at ease.
- Marisa, 2025
The shoot was a lot of fun! Sandra made us feel comfortable and was somehow able to get 2 pups and 2 adults to take some great photos. She captured some special moments between my senior boy and I that I will cherish forever.
- Sarah, 2025
I had the most wonderful doggie photoshoot experience at Shinkfield Studio. I wanted to get professional pictures taken of my 10 year old dog that I can hang up at my home for everyone to see. Peanut is the love of my family’s life; and as a pet owner herself, Sandra understands that our pets play an important role in the family.
