Reviews from Happy Pet Parents

"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.

Meet Your Portrait Photographer

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

Why pet parents trust me for portraits:

22 Years Behind The Camera: Two decades of patience, practice, and genuine love for capturing animals as they are.
Pratt Institute Trained:  A formal fine art education that shapes every composition, every angle, every frame.
3x Award Winner:  Recognised for excellence in portrait photography — 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Jennifer Schuman & Koda

"Jennifer took my brand to a whole new level with her photography. It’s more refined, and sophisticated in many ways!"
