One trail.

Two feet.

Four paws.

photography for people who love their dog that damn much

This is your love story.

You and your dog don’t just go on hikes.

You build a life.

You weather storms on Mount Spokane. You chase sunrises at Priest Lake. You stand at the edge of something vast and feel steadier because they’re beside you.

That’s not “just a dog.” That’s your anchor. Your ride-or-die. Your heart outside your body.

Life is an adventure. Love is the bravest one of all.

And your walls should tell that story.

Love notes

Angela is a master of her craft and is just so good with dogs! The experiences with her have always been a fun adventure, and photos in which our dogs look happy and comfortable.
~ Emily

We had SO MUCH fun at the photo shoot. My normally obedient dog showed *all* of his quirks. I laughed A LOT. And Angela, despite all of this goofiness, got more than a few amazing images that really capture our personalities. The images I bought are trophies of our relationship, I think of the fun I had during the shoot and it’s bonded me even more to my dog.
~ Sheila

Angela has been such a pleasure to work with, she is the true definition of a dog person and makes the session so fun and comfortable even if you are not used to being photographed. She makes the dogs comfortable too and knows how to capture their emotions and our bonds with them perfectly.
~ Cailyn

Built by dogs

Big White Dog Photography didn’t start as a business plan. It started with a dog.

Shep led Angela into the mountains and put a camera back in her hands when she thought she was done telling stories. After he was gone, the photographs remained – proof of a life lived fully together.

Bella carries that legacy forward. Hiking partner. Location scout. Steady presence. Daily reminder that loving a dog changes you.

Angela is a journalist and certified pet loss companion who believes the story between you and your dog deserves more than quick snapshots and digital files.

This work is rooted in lived experience – in joy, in loss, in the kind of connection that leaves a mark. If you want to know why it runs this deep, the story starts here.

What chapter are you and your dog in right now?

Your session is the first step in telling your story — the adventures, the love, the moments you never want to lose. A $300 session fee gets you on the calendar and begins your custom experience. Artwork is purchased separately after seeing your images.

Wild Love

Boots on the trail, wind in their fur, the kind of laughter that only happens when your dog is part of the story. Wild Love celebrates the life you’re living together right now, in landscapes that feel like yours. Guided, intentional and created for heirloom artwork that reflects your connection in its most alive form.

Ever After

When time feels fragile, everything shifts. Ever After is created for the chapter where days feel precious and presence matters more than distance. Unrushed and dog-led, this session preserves the love, devotion and quiet strength that have defined your life together – so this story continues long after the trail grows quiet.

Goodbye isn’t the end of your love story

Is this your kind of love story?

You deserve artwork that feels like you.

And I want to work with people who understand that loving a dog is not a hobby – it’s a way of life.

I create artwork for humans who are wildly in love with their dogs and want more than a few cute pictures. They want something real. Something lasting. Something worthy of the life they share.

If that’s you, I’d love to hear your story.

Tell me about your dog. Tell me what you love most. Tell me why this matters.
