becomes art

Custom artwork that celebrates your dog, while blending seamlessly with your home aesthetic

At our Queen West studio, we reveal your pup’s inner icon…

and transform them into fine art.

“Lowen was fantastic! They were so patient with my dog, and took the time he needed in order to make him comfortable and the photos turned out better than I could have imagined. It was such a fun experience.”

- Shannon E.

The Experience

  • A black Labrador Retriever puppy with a pink tongue sticking out, looking directly at the camera against a teal background.

    10 minute consultation call

  • Close-up of an Australian Shepherd dog with blue eyes and a pink background.

    In-home planning session

    A low-key home visit to connect and get to know you and your pet. This visit usually lasts about 1 hour.

    Lowen will discuss your pet’s temperament, background colours, posing, and how you hope to enjoy the work (wall art, albums, etc.)

  • A woman with red hair holding a dog with a brindle coat and large ears, against a pink background.

Just your Dog

The focus is on your dog! We’ll spend the whole time working to capture the entire spectrum of their personality- from the dignified and serious to the playful, ridiculous and downright goofy.

In your pre-shoot planning session, Lowen will learn all about your dog(s), zeroing in on what you love most about them and planning how best to capture these qualities in stunning fine-art pieces.

FAQ

  • We are a full service portrait studio, which means that within a month of your shoot, you will be holding artwork in your hands. We work with you to plan the shoot, capture dynamic imagery of your dog, and oversee the creation of high-quality printed artworks. There is no one-size fits all product - every client gets a personalized experience.

    Within 7-10 days of your session, you will have a Zoom ordering appointment. Lowen will share the photos from your shoot (exciting moment!), and guide you through the process of selecting and designing fine art objects for your home. 

    We offer a wide range of carefully curated wall art in metal, acrylic, and framed options, as well as hand-bound albums and European hand-crafted image box collections of matted prints. Learn more about our products here.

  • We are very proud of our ability to work with sensitive dogs. Our studio is equipped with both flash as well as continuous video lighting, which means that we can offer a completely adaptive sensory experience; if your pet shows signs of anxiety or stress, we can photograph you and your dog with no audible pops or flashes. Lowen is one of only a small number of pet photographers currently working in this way.

    If you have questions about how your pet would handle a photoshoot, please reach out. Lowen will ask you some very specific questions about your pet and provide an honest assessment.

  • Our default is to shoot them both individually as well as together, but your preference (and their cooperation!) will guide our approach. Most folks prefer a combination. Sometimes it’s tricky to coordinate, and Lowen will probably get you to help out!

  • If your pet is treat-motivated or toy-driven, even without a solid grasp of commands we can still get great shots. 

    We understand that some circumstances mean that your pet may not have these mastered- with rescues or young puppies, for example. We have done many successful shoots without any “sit”, “down”, or “paw”. 

    If you’re still not sure if your dog is a good fit, please reach out.

  • Each physical art product comes with a matching digital file, printable up to an 8x10. 

    We do not share unedited digital files.

  • Absolutely. When you book your session, you’ll choose whether you want a session that’s just your pet (or pets), or a session that involves both pets and people. 

    The goal is to illuminate the deep connection between you and your pet, and turn it into something more than just a snapshot. We aim to create art.

    If you would like to be in the photo with your pet, Lowen will provide extra guidance around wardrobe, hair and makeup, and posing. We will make sure to support you in preparing both yourself and your pet for the session, so that the images will be something you can display proudly and treasure for decades to come.
