“Sara is a wonderfully talented photographer and a compassionate, thoughtful business person. She made this process so easy and fun! The results were better than we had even hoped, and her patience, artistic eye, and good humor helped guide us through the editing process with ease. We're thrilled to have these keepsakes of our dog, Baker!”
Celebrate the Joy Your Pet Brings Into Your Life
Pets are more than companions—they’re family, and their love and loyalty deserve to be celebrated in a way that lasts forever.
Every detail of your pet portrait session is designed to honor your pet and your relationship. From a personalized consultation to discuss your vision, to a relaxed and playful session in my studio, and finally to the creation of handcrafted artwork tailored to your style, the process is seamless and enjoyable.
Whether you want a regal portrait for your living room, a fun and whimsical series for a gallery wall, or a keepsake album that tells your pet’s story, the result is always the same: a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that celebrates your pet as the cherished family member they are. Together, we’ll create something that doesn’t just capture how they look, but how they make you feel—because your pet deserves nothing less.
“Sara at Paw Print Studio captured Stallone's playful spirit perfectly! She was incredibly patient with our rambunctious 10-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog, making the whole experience stress-free. The photos are stunning, and we're thrilled with the beautiful canvas and photo book we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend Paw Print Studio for any pet owner looking for professional photography!”
As the owner and principal photographer at Paw Print Studio in West Hartford, Connecticut, I have dedicated my career to capturing the unique personalities of pets, especially dogs. Since 2016, my journey began with photographing shelter and rescue dogs, a passion that has expanded into creating timeless portraits for families to celebrate and memorialize their pets' unconditional love.
I am honored to have been the featured cover photographer for both Modern Dog Magazine and CT Dog Magazine. Additionally, I was awarded a silver medal in the International Pet Photography Awards. I am also a proud member of Hearts Speak, a global network of artists providing pro-bono services to save and support animals.
I look forward to learning more about your pet and customizing a portrait session that ensures their comfort and happiness. Let's create beautiful art that honors the special bond you share with your pet.
Hi, I’m Sara
I didn't expect to have THAT MUCH FUN, but we had a blast! They made me and my pup feel so welcome and excited. The time flew by, and the photos blew my mind! Go for it!

“From the very beginning the process was seamless. Sara is so easy to talk to and relate to, and the images she captured of my dog blew my mind. I also normally don’t like photos of myself, but she was able to get photos of me and my dog that look so natural and at ease. The final album I received is stunning. 10/10, worth every penny, I will truly never get tired of looking at the photos!” - Chelsea
