Hey, I'm Silke
I am a dog photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and let’s just say my love for art and dogs collide in the best way possible. I swapped my career in art history for a camera because, honestly, I was craving some creativity—and what’s more fun than photographing dogs? My rescue pup Molly, a sweet Taiwanese village dog, is my biggest muse. Her shy, goofy personality constantly reminds me to embrace the beauty in life's messy, imperfect moments.
As a photographer specializing in capturing the unique personalities of dogs, I focus on making every pup feel at ease in front of the lens—especially those who might be a little more anxious or shy. I believe that every dog has a story to tell, and my goal is 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. For me, it is not just about the photograph—it is about making a connection with the dog, ensuring they feel relaxed, and letting their natural beauty and quirks unfold in an authentic way.
Fearful weirdos might have my heart, but I can't wait to meet all of your pups! Big or small, floofy or hairless, timid or let-me-lick-your-eyeball outgoing, puppies or seniors... all of them!
