Ellen. Is. AMAZING!!! Seriously, even my crazy 60 pound Staffie, who has severe fear-aggression issues towards strangers LOVED her from the beginning! She will take all the time needed to get “the” right shot! She’s also very creative and did what she needed to get it perfect... I’m so glad I met her and got to experience her work, you will NOT be disappointed.

The Photographer: Ellen Shershow

I believe that dogs are the world's greatest creatures. They are slobbery and kooky and soulful and precious. When I create a portrait of your dog, I’m not just taking a picture; I’m creating an art piece that brings out the personality of your fur child. You will walk away with several pieces of fine art that will last a lifetime.

Ellen Shershow is an award-winning pet photographed based in Oakland California. She donates over 30 hours every month to photographing dogs at Muttville senior dog rescue and works with the Pet Food Express My Mutt program, providing valuable funds to Bay Area pet shelters and rescues.

 
If you are looking for a photographer who is literally a dog-whisperer...who instinctively knows how to bring out your dog’s unique personality in each photo taken. Who not just “takes photos,” but inspires and creates. Who is professional, caring, compassionate, fun-loving, and dares to be creative and think outside the box...hands down, work with Ellen Shershow. You will be beyond amazed!

Ellen is a pure joy to work with. Ellen has some sort of innate talent to establish a friendly rapport with your dog & put him/her at ease almost immediately. Ellen has a lot of tricks up her sleeve to bring out the playful, the regal, the goofy, the whatever personality of your dog in a portrait, & we were simply amazed at how gorgeous her final photos were.
