My pack includes Harvey, Murphy, and Lemon. They are the inspiration and driving force behind Eleven Paws Photography. After years of photographing various subjects, it finally clicked; it was time to shift my focus to dogs.

Everything started falling into place from that moment forward.

2 years ago, I opened my first studio in one of the most charming towns in the Pacific Northwest, where I had the joy of capturing countless unforgettable moments of dogs. The studio was located inside of @the_nw_dog, a specialty dog boutique in Historic Downtown Poulsbo.

In March of 2025, I moved the business to San Diego, CA. New studio location and information coming soon!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND LOVING DOGS AS MUCH AS I DO! Like I have said before, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.

If you are new here --- welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read this far… I am SO happy that you found me, and I can’t wait to photograph your dog.

LOVE + PAWS,

Mekinsey | The Dog Photographer
