Jennifer has always been an active shutter-bug ever since she was big enough to hold up her first camera. Her first willing subject was her much loved family dog, Ziggy. A natural poser, Ziggy helped to start the pet photography idea. Jennifer has a unique way of capturing animals in photos. It’s not uncommon to see her down on the floor along with the subject or up on a ladder for a bird’s eye view.

Starting out her photography career in portraiture and weddings, Jennifer has found specializing in pets greatly rewarding. With her many scholastic achievements in graphic design, digital communications, and print media. Jennifer is able to offer a wide range of expertise and creative services.

Shane Grégoire

Shane has always had a soft spot in his heart towards all living creatures. His caring and gentle nature has always been a great asset to his animal handling practices. The combination of almost a decade of experience in healing touch massage and animal behavioral science gives him the ability to ease any animal into having a “pawsitive” photo session experience.

Shane has always been active in photography and first started in New York City, working for advertising and billboard companies over a span of four years or more. Two decades later and he is still pushing what can be done and never shying away from any challenge. “No problem!” was his response to being asked to put hats and glasses on eight, seven-week-old puppies at the same time. His “pawsitive” attitude has helped with the creation and molding of this unique bussiness.

After meeting his partner Jennifer, who shares the same passion for animals and photography, there was no turning back.
