My philosophy

Every dog has a story to tell.

A small Shiba Inu is looking through the window of a coffee shop. You see the reflection of trees.
A shiba inu is hanging out with his mom in front of a coffee shop. They're sitting on white metal seats and the umbrella is pink and white.

It is my goal to create an environment where they feel safe and comfortable, allowing their true selves to shine through in each shot. Whether it is a curious pup exploring the vibrant energy of an urban backdrop or a calm soul finding peace in a quiet moment, I strive to capture the essence of every dog’s character.

Testimonials

" Silke is not just an amazing photographer but just the sweetest person. After I mentioned to her that Shadow’s condition changes on a day to day basis as her cancer was progressing and she just recovered from surgery, Silke was nothing but accommodating and thoughtful."

" Silke is an experienced dog photographer who truly understands how to make dogs feel comfortable, which was especially important for us since Twila is very shy around strangers."

" Silke took photos of my dog Katsu and I absolutely love them! She was very patient and gentle with my dog who is typically nervous around new people so I really appreciated that. I love the photos and would definitely recommend hiring her for pet portraits!"
