Portfolio
Explore a collection of dog and pet portraits created in a San Diego dog and pet photography studio. Each image highlights personality, expression, and the connection between dogs and their people. Sessions are calm and private, giving your dog (and you) the space to feel comfortable and just be themselves.
From dog and owner portraits to family photos with dogs, senior dog photography, and adoption and gotcha day sessions, every image reflects real moments and meaningful connection. Nothing is rushed. I guide everything in a way that feels easy, natural, and comfortable for both you and your dog.
This work is about creating space for your dog’s personality to come through in a way that feels honest and true.
Eleven Paws Photography serves dog owners throughout San Diego, including Coronado, La Jolla, Little Italy, Pacific Beach, and surrounding areas. I create artwork meant to live in your home and be held onto for years to come.
This includes dog mom and dog dad portraits, legacy sessions, and end-of-life photography, all created with care and intention.
Timeless pet portraits created in a calm, intentional studio setting
PET PHOTOGRAPHY SAN DIEGO
My dog gets some extreme anxiety anytime we go to a new place... Mekinsey was really great at letting me just try and calm down my dog and was extremely patient and understanding of her being nervous. She ended up getting some really great shots when my dog was feeling it. The low pressure environment she created was great and she never made me feel like she was annoyed with my dog during the entire session.
Definitely recommend if you have a high anxiety dog!

Mekinsey was a blast to work with! She was so sweet to Charlie. Charlie had a really good time modeling for her. The pictures came out amazing, Charlie looks adorable! Awesome experience.

It was a blast working with Mekinsey getting holiday photos done of my GSD and myself. She knows her craft extremely well and can get the pups to do anything. Such a personable individual and she works inside my favorite independent dog store (NW Dog) in downtown Poulsbo.
