A gentle, patient session built around your puppy's energy and attention span — indoors at our Evanston studio, safe and stress-free.

Hundreds of Chicago puppies, and their humans, have trusted Jennifer with this milestone.

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 patient, built around your puppy's short attention span — not the clock. We follow their lead so what gets captured is genuinely them, wiggles and all.

"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 dog owner my whole life and a Chicago puppy photographer since 2004. I know pets don't pose — and that's exactly what makes capturing them so special.
Why puppy parents trust me:


Your puppy grows fast — capture exactly who they are right now, before this stage is gone for good.
