muttographer.

Hi, I’m David.
I’m probably going to love your dog.

I’m a photographer with a soft spot for every dog I meet. I believe they deserve to be photographed as the individuals they are.

Say hello
Black-and-white portrait of David, the Muttographer photographer, smiling and wearing glasses.
Your pet’s newest fan. And photographer.

They’re never
“just a dog.”

They’re the first to greet you at the door. The reason you get outside. The keeper of your routines. And the source of more laughs than they’ll ever realize.

They’re also wonderfully expressive, occasionally uncooperative, and almost always more interesting than a perfectly posed portrait.

I created Muttographer to give Chicago-area dog owners a better way to celebrate the dogs they love. My goal isn’t to make every dog sit still and perform. It’s to create a relaxed experience that brings out the expressions, movement, curiosity, confidence, and character that make your dog yours.

Come as you are. Boots optional.

There’s room
for every kind
of personality.

A new puppy. A wise old companion. A rescue still finding confidence. A high-energy best friend who never stops moving.

They’re welcome here. Before the camera comes out, we’ll talk about what helps them feel comfortable and build a session around them.
