Dogs are our kindred spirits.  They are the best friends who so often come into our lives when we can use a friend the most.

I often tell those who take my dog training classes that, “we get the dog we need”. Especially the rough around the edge ones. They mold and shape us all through their too short lives.

Someday, we look back gratefully and fondly on those furry paws that walked alongside us in life. Having beautifully created images connects us to our dogs now and in the future.

You get a stress-free and full service experience from start to finish.
I promise you will love your images.

Hi there, I’m Rachel!

I am a mom to two, wonderful human boys and a dog mom to two beautiful Border Collies. Once an interior designer and now pet photographer, elements of art/design infuse my life.


I love competing in dog sports such as obedience, conformation, and Rally. I am a certified S.T.A.R Puppy Evaluator who can be found teaching puppy classes at a local dog training club.

Gardening is another huge passion of mine. I’m in the garden whenever possible.

Now offering hand rendered digital paintings!

Sometimes, we don’t get the chance to book a session for a senior dog. Or, we want something special to gift to a loved one.

Additionally, cats are often left out of pet photography due to logistics.

Touched By a Dog paintings provide a wonderful option for the artisan pet owner. Whether printed on canvas or framed by gorgeous wood, digital paintings are a client favorite.

Come enjoy stories about the dogs of Spokane in my blog.
