  • The Everyday Adventure

    Photography for the pet next door

    Our most popular session is the perfect opportunity to capture the unique personality of your pet. Whether you’re looking for photos of just your fur baby or the whole family, this is the session for you! We provide three different options to accommodate your pet and their needs – short and sweet for the pups (or people) with minimal attention spans to longer, relaxed sessions perfect for capturing multiple locations, larger families, or simply a chance to show off your pet in all of their glory.

  • The Next Adventure

    Sessions for senior or ailing pets

    We know it’s unfair that our fur babies don’t live forever. This is why we offer a special session just for older or ailing pets. We work with your pet and what they can handle to create a relaxed, calm experience with no time limits or constraints. With plenty of time for breaks, snuggles, and snacks, this photo session is intended to honor your pet in a low-stress environment. Typical sessions are often held at your home – we’re happy to accommodate you and your pet’s unique needs.

What People Say

Amy Egan

Kelly was amazing!! She captured the shyness of my older girl and the spunk of my baby girl and the love of our family in all the pictures. We have found our furever family photographer and can’t wait to take our fall pictures with Kelly at our favorite spot on location. She captured the fun and happiness in ways I never could on my own. Highly recommend using her!!

Katy Putzker

Kelly is incredible! We've worked with her a few times now and she never fails to capture the best of our pups. I am always unsure of how my dog did looking at the camera, but Kelly always manages to capture not just good photos, but the best photos even with an easily distracted dog. She is also so kind and a joy to be around for both dogs and their humans!

Michelle (Lucy)

I love my photos from K Schulz Photography! Kelly really has an eye for dog photography and brought my vision to life during our sunrise photoshoot. She made me and my dog feel so comfortable during the photoshoot where I felt like I could be myself to get the most authentic photos possible. I highly recommend her!! (and sunrise photoshoots!)
