Red Leash Pet Photography

Lori was amazing to work with. She was friendly, easy-​going, and non-​judgmental (about the mess around my home). More importantly, she was great working with my dog and cat. She captured so many great images of both of my pets in their «element. «I just received my prints yesterday and am even happier with them than I expected. I am so thankful I went ahead and did this, as I will be forever grateful to have gorgeous pictures of my dog and cat hanging up, not just the typical iPhone picture on Facebook. Book your time with Lori, it is worth it. :)

My experience with Lori at Red Leash was nothing short of stellar. Prior to the photo shoot, I completed a questionnaire so she could get a feel for my dog’s personality and the ‘look’ I was hoping to achieve in the pictures. We also talked on the phone to review everything ahead of time; Lori’s commitment to understanding me and getting to know my dog was something I didn’t expect but really appreciated.
Lori came to my home in Germantown for the photo shoot. She proved to be a total natural at working with my (often stubborn) dog. While she was at my home, we talked about the kinds of pictures I would be interested in — albums? framed photos? wall art… I had a few walls where I knew I wanted some pictures and she took photos of these spaces.
The photos were exactly what I was looking for; it was difficult to choose! We reviewed the photos together, talked about the products I was interested in purchasing, and sifted through everything together to make the best choices. She made the experience easy when it could have been very overwhelming. What I loved the best was that she plugged the dog photos into the pictures she took of my walls so I would be able to see *exactly* what my choices would look like in each room! She was so patient when I switched things around a few times.
You can tell when someone loves what they do, and in Lori’s case, it clearly shines through in her work.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Red Leash and Lori. She has such attention to detail and is very thorough every step of the way with her clients. Lori worked well with our dog and captured many great shots, making sure she got the ones we wanted. At the ordering session, she was very patient with us and helped us select the best products for us. We are in love with everything we ordered, especially the book. We also love having framed photos of our dog on the wall. We highly recommend Red Leash and look forward to using her again in the future!

We had gotten that horrible news that no pet parent ever wants to hear and we needed to move fast. Lori was so accommodating and scheduled us immediately. She was took amazing photos capturing our precious girls spirit. Looking at her photos and photo book you would not know she was sick. Lori let Our girl do her thing and the photos are just amazing. I cannot say enough. Thank you Lori!

I’ve used Lori twice now and I am so glad that I did! Both times were such fun days with the dogs, and then you get the bonus of having the great images that she captures on top of it all. You can tell that Lori really enjoys getting to know her subjects, and it shows in the great shots that she gets; she really captures their personalities. I’ve since had to say good bye to a couple of my dogs, and I am so thankful that I have Lori’s professional pictures to remember them by when they were at their best. I plan to use Lori again in the future.

Our family can’t say enough good things about Lori! Her relaxed and easy-​going attitude turns what could be a somewhat stressful session (try wrangling 200+ lbs of dogs) into a totally awesome experience. We’ve used Red Leash numerous times over the years and we’re never disappointed. From a signature session, to a mini-​session, to the various fundraisers, we’ve done it all! We wouldn’t trust our pets portraits to anyone else. The attention to detail and the amazing ability Lori has in capturing those one-​of-​a-​kind shots are just a few of the reasons we gave her 5 stars! Thank you, Red Leash!

Lori did a wonderful job of getting my young, energetic, easily-​distracted pup to sit still for our «Click & Treat» mini-​session hosted by Paws boutique as a fund-​raiser for the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Because of her popularity and the sweet deal for a great cause, Lori was booked full and very busy on this day. Nonetheless, she gave my dog her full attention and used some great tricks to get her to pose, and quickly got some great shots. Not an easy feat! She is professional, and obviously an animal lover. Pet photos are such great gift ideas, so I would highly recommend Red Leash as the perfect gift for your friends and family that have everything!

I would have never thought to hire a photographer for our two mastiffs, but my friend gifted us with a Red Leash session. She repeatedly expressed to me how much research she did to find Lori and that Lori wasn’t your typical photographer… that Lori doesn’t do stuffy, obviously posed pictures. So I thought… Okay, okay, I’ll check her out… kinda have to since you got us this gift certificate. Well, let me tell ya… I’m so glad she got us that gift certificate! Best present ever! From my first conversation with Lori to the moment we got our order, Lori was very easy to work with. She’s very professional and fun to work with. She was very patient with my family, especially my giant pups. The hardest part about working with Lori was having to pick which pictures to order and in which size, etc., since I can be so indecisive. There are so many products available and all the pictures were great. They all captured not just my pups personalities but our bond with them. Lori did an awesome job incorporating the beautiful scenery and environment. It was really hard to pick cause I wanted them all. But Lori was a great help and got me through our ordering session. And your order doesn’t just come in a plain box or brown paperbag, it comes with that elegant Red Leash touch. Every time I look at our pictures, I smile as I remember what a great day that was and how much fun we all had. I could not have asked for a more friendly and awesome photographer. And I just love being able to say my pups have a photographer. We will definitely be scheduling more sessions with Lori. :-)

Lori is an amazing photographer. She somehow manages to capture the true nature of every animal she photographs, and gets the best of the people in the photos! We will cherish forever the family pictures she took for us and look forward to more sessions in the future.
