A relaxed session with you both in the frame — studio or on-location, wherever feels most like you.

Hundreds of Chicago pet parents have been photographed together with the pets they love.

Emma T. & Bruno · French Bulldog

Lisa K. & Copper · Vizsla

Sarah M. & Ginger · Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Amanda R. & Bear · Bernese Mountain Dog

Nicole W. & Peanut · Chihuahua Mix

Every session is relaxed and unhurried, built around how you and your pet actually are together — not stiff, posed family photos.

"She Captured Both Of Them Perfectly"
I was convinced two dogs at once would be chaos. Jennifer handled it like a pro. Got both of them looking at the camera at the same time. Still have no idea how she did it.

"Our Dog Stole The Show"
We booked Jennifer for a family session and honestly our dog got the best photos. Everyone looks relaxed, happy, and completely natural. Best family photo we have ever taken.

"Worth Every Single Penny. Literally."
I booked Jennifer because my dog Penny was getting older and I wanted proper photos while I still could. Best decision I ever made. These photos mean everything to me now.

Hi, I'm Jennifer Schuman. I've been a pet owner my whole life and a Chicago pet and owner photographer since 2004. I know pets don't pose — and that's exactly what makes capturing them so special.
Why pet parents trust me:


The bond between you and your pet is worth having in a photograph you're both actually in — not just them.

Book My Pet’s Session →I'm not photogenic — can you make this feel natural for me too?
Completely. Jennifer gently directs both of you through the session so it feels like a conversation, not a photoshoot — the goal is a portrait that actually looks like you two.
Do you shoot in studio or on-location?
Both. Private studio in Evanston or we come to you across Chicago and the North Shore.
Do you come to my home for the session?
Yes. Private studio sessions in Evanston or we come to your home, garden, or favourite park across Chicago and the North Shore.
How quickly will I receive my photos?
Retouched files are delivered within 48 hours of your session.
Where is the studio located?
Our private studio is located at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center in Evanston.
What if I don't love my photos?
We reshoot. Simple as that. Satisfaction is guaranteed on every single session.
This is a portrait of your relationship, not just your pet — and it deserves to include you both.
