Love Them Forever
Dog PhotograpHER · Pasadena & San Marino, CA
They make every day better just by being yours. Hold onto that feeling forever.
Dogs are family, and every moment with them is worth celebrating. Our sessions capture the personality, spirit, and joy your dog brings to your life—playful antics, quiet snuggles, or loyal companionship. Many of the families I photograph first come to me because of their dog. You can learn more about my family photography sessions.
We focus on creating a relaxed, stress-free environment where your dog feels comfortable being themselves. Together, we’ll create photos that showcase your bond in a way that’s genuine, heartfelt, and full of character.
Every session is designed to highlight what makes your dog unique, leaving you with images you’ll treasure for years to come—a lasting reminder of the love and joy they bring to your everyday life.
Our dog and pet photography studio is located in San Marino, just minutes from Pasadena, Arcadia, and Alhambra.
Modern & Timeless
Our dog and pet photos are crafted in a modern, timeless style — clean, emotive, and designed to live beautifully on your walls for generations. Every session at our San Marino studio is tailored to your dog's personality.
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.
