An Elevated Experience
Where Your Dog is Cherished Family
Your dog isn't just a pet; they're your constant companion, your confidant, and, in so many ways, your cherished child. You deserve portraits that genuinely reflect that profound connection.
Because capturing that bond is so important, entrusting your vision to a photographer who truly understands the unique considerations of working with dogs – their individual personalities, their energy, their integral role in your life – is paramount.
At Kara Mergl Photography, you're not just getting a photographer, you're partnering with a skilled professional who possesses a deep understanding of the powerful bond you share with your dog. I have a refined, dog-centered approach to every session, prioritizing their comfort and allowing their unique character to shine through, even those who have shy (or anxious or overly energetic or stubborn) moments.
Trust me to create a stress free experience and exquisite, authentic portraits that beautifully capture the profound love you share.
A Seamlessly Crafted Portrait Experience
“Managing multiple big dogs can sometimes be a lot, but Kara was so patient when working with us. The love we have for each of our dogs was captured in every single photo. Kara is genuinely a great person and I look forward to future sessions with her.”
Heather Myers
“I've done other shoots before, but this one was by far my favorite and most memorable. From start to finish, my session with Kara was everything I imagined it could be and more. Kara focused on every detail, from the pre-planning stages to having the best treats. ”
Leah Mackay
"Our eighteen month old pup can get easily distracted and we weren't sure how he would do during the session, but Kara did a great job working with him. She really guided us every step of the way. All the photos came out amazing. We loved working with Kara!"
