My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Ellen Zangla! I first met her at the Loudoun Pet Expo, and she followed up quickly to schedule a call. During that conversation, she asked thoughtful questions about our goals for the session, our dogs’ personalities, clothing ideas, and more. From the start, it was clear that Ellen truly cared about helping us bring our vision to life. She was also flexible when bad weather forced us to reschedule.
When the day finally arrived, she immediately put us—and our pups—at ease. Ellen was warm, confident, and completely unflappable. Like many people, we worried our dogs might not cooperate, but Ellen worked her magic and captured their quirky personalities with ease.
And then… the photos! They were better than we ever imagined. Ellen is an incredibly gifted photographer who managed to capture not just our pets’ personalities, but our family dynamic too. She was patient as we reviewed the photos and helped us visualize what would look best on our walls. The hardest part was choosing—because every single photo was so good.
Ellen’s passion for animals and photography shines through in everything she does. She’s talented, thoughtful, and a complete joy to work with. If you’re looking for a pet photographer, stop searching—you found her.
