I first met Quincy last fall, when he was three months old. I photographed his first puppy shoot in my “Watch Me Grow” Plan (for puppies and kittens, which shows how much they grow over their first year). These are three of my favorite photos from that session—isn’t he an adorable puppy?

His parents really wanted to do his second shoot in the snow. Although the previous winter we had several feet of snow, last winter we only had one snowstorm. But that was all we needed (see my three favorites below). Quincy had an absolute blast and I know he is hoping for a lot more snow this winter!

I photographed Quincy’s last puppy session when he was just over a year old. As you can see from his photos, he is a joyful, happy dog.

After the third photo session, I create a collage with one from each shoot to show how much the puppy or kitten has grown over the year. This is Quincy’s collage.

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 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.
