Give yourself the peace of mind knowing you'll have authentic and natural portraits of your pet that will last your lifetime!
We have a secret - Your pet is a perfect model!
⭐If your dog can be a dog then we can create amazing artwork of them!⭐
"My dog won't sit and stay!"
Yup! We already know that and it's fine with us! Your favorite artwork will come from the times your pet is relaxed and having a good time!
We're here to capture your pet's personality which also includes their jovial spirits, mischievous grins, and charming winks. Let them run! Let them play! They are behaving exactly how they should be for us to capture authentic joy!

After a client's pet passed away, she told me, "I would have regretted every day if I didn’t get her photos done. I miss that silly dog so much!!"
Conversely, we've had countless individuals tell us, "I wish I had done this with Gracie, but now she is gone."
We're on a mission to help that very sad situation not happen to people!

I have worked with Gretchen on 3 shoots for my dog. She is always patient with my dog and knows all the tricks to get great photos with fur babies. Gretchen has always been a professional and made each session fun and comfortable for my pup. ~Michelle AKA Maddie's Mom
Are you ready for personality filled portraits of your Pooch or Persian?
We want to hear all about your pet!
Let's chat about your session goals and custom create the perfect session for you and your pet. Maybe it's a session in your own home where your pet is most comfortable. Perhaps we'll explore a local San Diego park together and create fun lasting memories there. Maybe you are looking for an elegant formal portrait of your sweet pupper, in which case we would recommend a studio session. We will accommodate your goals and exceed your expectations.
The best part is you don't need to worry about your dog or cat being well behaved or sitting and staying. We never expect them to do so and we get our best shots when they are relaxed and showing their personality!
A portrait session is the gift your pet would give if they could choose any gift for you!
It's all about relaxing, having fun, and capturing the moment!
Your pet portrait session will be custom-designed with your personal goals in mind. Prior to your session, we'll have a consultation to discuss a few topics, including:
- What makes your dog or cat special and unique to you. We want to know all their funny quirks!
- Any ideas you may have and how we can make them a reality.
- Our ideas and professional recommendations to make your session a complete success.
- How do you plan to display your favorite artwork from your session.
Experience the difference from Gretchen Otero Photography
The Gretchen Otero Photography Experience is different from what you might be used to, and it's so much better for you and very simple! Best of all, you'll have us every step of the way eliminating the guesswork and answering your questions. We'll also ask questions of you that will help us tailor your experience to your exact needs.
We'll start with a phone call so you can tell us all about your goals. Tell us why you want to have these portraits made and what you envision for your home. We'll then decide on what session (studio, location, or home) will meet your goals and schedule your dedicated time.
Your portrait session will be a lot of fun and largely dictated by your pet. No one is expected to sit and stay. The focus is making sure your dog or cat is enjoying themself and behaving naturally and comfortably.
After your portrait session, we'll schedule your Portrait Reveal Experience. This is when you'll choose your favorite images from your session and we'll turn those into heirloom artwork. We'll tailor your offerings to match your decor, goals, and your images. We will digitally show you your favorite images on your own walls so you can see exactly how your chosen portraits will look in your home. We'll go over options and finalize your order all within this experience! And voila! You're all done and we'll be delivering your custom artwork to your doorstep in just a few weeks!
