the ash and alder experience
A PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE ROOTED IN CONNECTION
Your pet isn’t just part of your life.
They are woven into your days, your routines, your quiet moments, and your memories.
At Ash & Alder Photography, sessions are created to honor that bond. This is a slow, intentional experience designed to capture not just what your dog looks like, but who they are to you. The way they lean into you. The way they look at you. The small details you never want to forget.
Every session begins with listening. From there, we create images that feel honest, soulful, and deeply personal.
artwork to be lived with
The images we create are meant to exist beyond a screen.
All artwork offered through Ash & Alder Photography is crafted at the highest professional level, using the highest quality materials and time-honored techniques. From hand-bound albums to heirloom wall art made with reclaimed, aged barn wood, each piece is designed to age beautifully and hold meaning for years to come.
Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.
If you don’t absolutely love your finished artwork, I will buy it back from you. No fine print. No hesitation. Your trust matters, and your investment should feel just as meaningful in your home as it did when you first saw your images.
fewer images means deeper meaning
In a world full of fast photography and overflowing galleries, this experience is intentionally different.
I photograph with purpose, creating fewer images so each one carries weight. Every selected photograph is hand-finished with care, never rushed or batch processed. The goal isn’t volume. It’s impact.
Rather than leaving you to decide what to do with your images, I guide you through choosing artwork that fits your space, your style, and your story. Pieces that feel like they belong, not afterthoughts stored away on a hard drive.

Why Most Clients Choose Artwork
Digital images are convenient, but artwork allows you to live with your photos every day. Printed pieces are professionally produced using museum-quality materials and are designed to last for decades.
Many clients come in expecting to choose digitals and discover, during their ordering appointment, that artwork better reflects how they want to remember this chapter of their dog’s life.
Not Ready to Decide?
That’s completely normal. Most clients don’t make final decisions until they see their images. Your ordering appointment is designed to explore both options so you can choose what feels right for you and your home.
Ready to Get Started?
Sessions are limited each month to ensure a personalized experience.
