I love when families with younger children call me to photograph their families and include their dog in all of the photos. It means that their pup is still an important part of the family, a loved and treasured family member! That is certainly the case for Disco (short for Discovery), this playful and joyful Brittany Spaniel. As you can see from the family photos, she is very well loved by everyone! And the kids were great with her! It made my heart happy to photograph all of them!

Disco’s family’s house and yard were a fantastic place for family photos! They have really interesting architectural elements, cool steps at the back of the house (I love the reflection of the trees in the glass doors behind them) and beautiful stone walls. Of course, Fall is such a pretty time of year for photos; it wasn’t quite peak yet, but the leaves were starting to change colors and the woods were really pretty! The stones on the property added interest to the photos, too (farming this land 100 years ago would have been seriously challenging!)

Ellen Zangla Photography: Pet portraits with personality.

Certified Professional Photographer

2017 Bronze Medal Photographer of the Year: Professional Photographers of America

My pets, two dogs and two cats, are an integral part of the fabric of my life. I absolutely adore them. Like other family members whom we love, I feel that it is incredibly important to have portraits of them that capture the essence of who they are, whether they’re regal or goofy (or both!) or somewhere in between. If you feel the same way about your dog, cat or other fur or scaled kid, here’s how you can learn more about a pet photo shoot with me works. Or feel free to contact me. I am a professional pet photographer, specializing in photographs of pets and pets with their people. I serve all of Northern Virginia, including Loudoun, Fairfax, Leesburg, Ashburn and Reston, as well the DC Metro area, and I would love to create pet portraits  for you that you will treasure for a lifetime.
