Welcome to Dogs by Michelle Petkovic Photography
We are so glad you are here! This extension of our photography business has been over a year in the making and we're so excited to finally share it with the world!
The last few years have been literally life-changing for Michelle, and with it, her heart decided it was time to follow on to a new path towards working with animals and fine art dog photography. How is Fine Art different from other dog photography? It differs in its purpose and artistic intention. Fine Art photography transcends mere representation and seeks to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and convey a deeper meaning. It often involves a more deliberate and creative approach, employing elements such as composition, lighting, and subject matter to create visually striking and conceptually rich images. To develop this skill, Michelle has studied with multi-award-winning Dog Photography teachers from around the world to build and hone in on her own style and vision.
However, while being passionate about capturing stunning images, our priority is to understand and celebrate dog behaviors so that we can be constant advocates for your furry companions, and ensure that every session is a positive and enjoyable experience for every dog we meet. We believe that by recognizing and respecting their individual needs, we can better capture the essence of each dog. From the energetic tail-waggers to the shy and reserved pups, we adapt our approach to suit their comfort levels and preferences. Our ultimate goal is to create a space where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and free to express themselves naturally, resulting in authentic and heartwarming photographs.
Throughout this journey, we have sought to create a service for you that is different from everything we have been doing for the last 13 years photographing families and children - from the style of imagery to totally turning our pricing structure upside down.
So get ready for a one-of-a-kind adventure with us! We're thrilled to embark on this new chapter and share our passion for happy dogs and fine art dog photography with the world. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we can't wait to capture the joy, love, and unique essence of your beloved furry family member!

(As many have asked - yes, we will still be doing family & children’s photography too. All of those sessions will remain the same and can be found over at www.michellepetkovicphotography.com)
