ADOPTABLE PETS DISCOUNTED STUDIO SESSION - $30
These specially-priced 10 minute studio sessions are available by appointment in the Lombard studio. Additional foster pets may be photographed consecutively on the same day. Studio sessions offer a private and comfortable indoor environment, and no other people or pets will be present during your session.



I love to capture the natural beauty of each animal I photograph, and I love to support pet rescue in my community! I am pleased to offer discounted photo sessions for adoptable pets* that would benefit from a little extra attention.

These short sessions are designed to capture just a few great snapshots of your rescue organization's foster dog, cat, bird or bunny that can be displayed on their petfinder.com adoption profile page.

After your photo session, you'll receive an email with 2-3 digital images that are ready to show off and display online.

These are just a few of the ways Pet Photos can help:
  • Awaken new interest in pets who've been in lengthy foster care
  • Highlight special needs pets who might be overlooked
  • Show off adult and senior-aged pets needing forever homes
  • Promote pets who have dark faces or dark or black fur
  • Give personality to uncommon or unfamiliar breeds
Local rescue groups who use my Pet Photos for their adoptable pet images report increased interest in their fosters - leading to more qualified applications and faster adoptions. That means together we can save more pets!

Please note that all pets new to rescue must complete their veterinary health exams prior to the photography session and deemed to be free of parasites, contagious illnesses and conditions. Please bring your vet receipt to your photo session.

What others are saying


"Lisa is adept at finding the unique quality of each animal she photographs. Her work reveals a love for the dogs and an understanding of how they are feeling and what they need. People are drawn to the photos and take a second look at dogs that they would have passed by before. They feel they know the dogs before they even meet them!

Lisa's photographs are also a part of what I like to call education for the public. The photographs give dignity and worth to dogs for those who may think that rescue dogs have none. Lisa's work teaches empathy and compassion and, in doing so, also gives value to the work that rescue groups do."

Dalmatian Rescue of Illinois



"Lisa has taken many photos of my foster dogs and it is amazing the difference it makes - every dog that has had their photo taken by Lisa has been adopted in a matter of days!

Since my dogs and cats are in foster homes, it is really important for them to stand out. Lisa's photos definitely get noticed. It is also great to work with a photographer who has a heart for animals in need."

"My foster dogs have a lot of competition on petfinder, and I do everything I can to get them noticed and adopted. Lisa's photos are far more than just professionally and technically perfect. Her photos capture their personality and convey all of the warmth, fun, love, mischief, and loyalty my foster dogs have to offer.

I'm always amazed at how Lisa elicits, captures, and creates poses and facial expressions that are endearing, noble, humorous, and so emotionally appealing. I credit the quick responses to my petfinder pet adoption postings to the quality of the photos Lisa captures. She has a gift; she is an artist with a camera."
