Who's behind Indigo

Nice to meet you! I’m Karen

I’m dog mom to 2 rescues dogs, Indiana Jones, a Jack Russell Terrier and Lucca, a Texas Mystery Mix. They are nuts and I adore them. I’m also a professional pet photographer, and the creator of the Winery Dogs of Ontario Calendar – clever me, combining two of my favourite things!

I work primarily with dogs, horses and the people who are head over heels in love with them.

Let’s face it, you have invested a lot of time, energy, patience and LOVE into your incredible four-leggers. Your pampering and exceptional care, allowed them to bloom into the magnificent creatures they are!

My photography reflects how well loved your best friends are. Their personality and character shine through, making for images that just beg to be displayed in your home, cottage and, dare I say, the office, as well!

Indigo Pet Photography is based in Niagara, but I frequently travel to my clients, photographing horses and dogs in Halton, Guelph, Hamilton, Oakville, pretty much everywhere I’m needed. Anything is possible.

“Sometimes you never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.”

-Dr. Seuss

A little about working with me

I have the experience, patience and skills to work with the wily, the distracted, the indifferent, the talkers, the goofballs, and the dreamers. In fact, most of the pets I photograph are anything but posers!

I use a leash to keep your dog in place – and safe – and remove leashes in post production, in any images purchased. I choose to work in locations that have few distractions and dogs to get comfortable with me and the environment in their own time.

Ultimately, I want your dog to have a good time! That’s how I capture the true spirit of your pup and deliver images you’ll be thrilled to hang on your walls. Ones that will make you glow inside every time you see them.

Did you know? 

Back in 2017 I started the “Winery Dogs of Ontario” calendar. It features the dogs of winemakers and vignerons at wineries in Ontario. Each year a portion of the proceeds are donated to an animal related charity.

In January 2020, during the devastating bushfires in Australia, with the help of friends, I created an international fundraiser called Paws for Oz. Collectively, Niagara’s wine community and pet photographers in Canada, the US and Australia, raised over $20,000 that went directly to help rehabilitate animals impacted by the bushfires in Victoria!

I’d love to know how I can help you!
