"I was worried about having Mindy photographed because she's nervous and barky with new people, but she LOVED Sonya! We are incredibly satisfied with Mindy's pictures! They're just all so adorable! I wouldn't hesitate to use Sonya again. It was such a pleasant experience."

-Mary A.

"I am absolutely in love with Sonya and her work. I have had two photo sessions with her and I am amazed by how patient and loving she is. My fur-children are my everything and she was able to capture the love between me and my fur babies. She has a true gift of capturing special moments that will be cherished forever."

-Lily A.

"Sonya was amazing with my pup, she is super sweet and gentle with my little fur baby!! She is very great at finding the best place to take pictures and timing the perfect lighting. She even did an engagement photo for us with our pup! I would recommend her to anyone!"

-Kristen F.

"Thank you so much for taking really beautiful photos of my two totally crazy boys! The results were beyond my expectations! You really captured their personality and we had so much fun."

-Ari B.

"Not only is Sonya an amazing, patient, friendly person. She is also a talented, thoughtful, and attentive photographer. She managed the entire shoot, and the chaos that goes with photographing 3 young pups, with grace, and easy-going professionalism. My furkids loved her and opened up to her immediately. But most importantly, she was able to capture the true essence of my babies in every single shot. These are not your standard pet photos. They are beautiful, meaningful works of art that are created around me and my pups. I'll cherish them forever."

-Jessica C.

"The session was fun and the pictures turned out beautiful. Sonya did a wonderful job with our dogs. My Shih Tzu had a photo shoot for her first birthday and the pictures are amazing. She had a great time with Sonya. We also did pictures of our 3 other dogs. She was equally wonderful with our 5-year-old English Mastiff, a 10-year-old pug, and our 2-year-old Shihpoo. I was very impressed with how she worked with our Shihpoo. She is a nervous dog and very shy of people she isn't familiar with. Sonya was able to capture beautiful pictures and was very patient and kind with her and all our dogs. I will use her again in the future and would highly recommend for your pet photographer needs."

-Cyndi G.

"I had Sonya come to my home for a photography session with my cat, Papi, who had terminal cancer. Years ago, I had previously used another pet photographer and the photographer was so expensive that I couldn't even purchase anything other than a few small prints and she didn't interact well with my cats. Sonya, however, has a long history of working with animals besides being a photographer. Sonya was able to bring out the playful side of my cat and capture gorgeous shots. I can't express my gratitude to her and the gift that she gave to me of these lasting images of my cat. Sonya's prices were so reasonable and I was easily able to buy portrait sized photos to have framed. Sonya was the utmost professional and I would highly recommend her services."

-Robbie T.

"Pet Charm did an excellent job!!! Sonya is a pro at what she does. The photos of my dog came out better than I could hope for! Everything was done super quick and Sonya is very professional. The website is very cute and easy to use! My dog had a blast with her."

-Lauren M.

"Sonya of Pet Charm Photography was great with my three Yorkies. We got some really cool pictures and she was so good with them, getting the best shots possible. She was super at helping me get exactly what I wanted for my Christmas cards, so happy. I would highly recommend her for your pet photography."

-Sandy H.

"I have been searching online for some time to have professional photos taken of my two Pugs. After reaching out to Pet Charm, I felt at ease immediately and booked a session to photograph our two Pugs, along with my Fiancé. Sonya and her team were so pleasant to work with; starting with the initial conversation, her responsiveness on emails, and her flexibility in choosing a location that works with all parties involved. I was a little nervous as one of our Pug (Nicky), is the fussy type- grumpy old man! Sonya reassured me to not worry and to let her take care of the doggies- if they get too stressed we can always take a break during the shoot :) The day of the shoot was remarkable! I'm not the photoshoot-type-of-gal but she made the whole process so easy going and fun and most importantly, she was so patient with the dogs! Or should I say, she was patient with the humans as well! Not only it was stress-free, we actually had a lot of fun! some of our photos captured are of us laughing out loud, and we continued to laugh during our ride back home. I literally can't say enough on how pleasant the experience was. And to top it off, the photos came out stunning! I guess the one stressful thing about this ordeal is choosing the right photos as they all came out amazing. We loved it so much that I am already planning for a future shoot with Sonya! Thank you so much, Sonya, for capturing such special moments of our family!"

-Devita W.

"Amazing Photographer! Sonya was very prepared prior to the appt and the process was very easy to book her online. She's very accessible for any questions and loved that I had suggestions for picture ideas. She brought snacks and toys to help with the animals taking pictures which I thought was so awesome! Sonya was very patient and all of my animals loved her!! I would recommend her to anyone looking for some great pictures of their pets. A big factor for me was the house call appt, I wanted pictures of all my animals including my shy cats and it just couldn't have been any more perfect."

-Jessica G.

"We contacted Sonya to photograph our foster litter of 7 puppies and our 2 young children. The whole process was so enjoyable and she was such a pleasure to work with. She was always available for the million questions and ideas that I had. Sonya is very organized and she planned for the best day/time/weather for our shoot, you can tell she really cares about her clients and her work product. Day of the shoot, she was such a trooper, because let me tell you, working with a whole litter of 6-week old puppies running around along with two kids ages 5 and 7 is no easy task!! Sonya was extremely accommodating and patient for the entire 3.5 hours, which ran way over her normal shoot time. The pictures we got were beyond adorable - she was able to capture some really precious moments. Absolutely the BEST photographer we could have chosen for this, hands down!!"

-Victoria P.

Sonya was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! She was extremely patient and professional in handling my baby girl! The results speak for themselves— the photos came out beautifully!

Ashley G.

Pet Charm Photography is an absolute pleasure to work with. The team is professional, patient, and very creative. Sonya is so very sweet and talented to make little (BIG) Goldendoodle shine like a star!

Miko J.

Sonya is an awesome photographer who clearly loves animals! It was a lot of fun watching her work with my dog Chowder. She made an almost instant bond with him. Sonya was excellent at getting him to do the things she wanted from him and she kept him engaged in the shoot the whole time. Sonya was a wonderful person to be around and made the day with Chowder a very enjoyable experience. It really shows in the photos too, because they're all fun, excellent pictures that show many sides to his personality. I can't wait to bring my other dog for her photoshoot!

For us pet parents, we want the absolute best for our four-legged children, and that includes treasuring every moment we possibly can with the limited time we have together. For this reason, choosing to have our portraits professionally taken seemed like a natural choice—but for a geriatric dog with anxiety and medical issues, finding the right photographer was imperative for both of us. For all intents and purposes, Sonya was the absolute best, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Shortly after inquiring about an appointment, Sonya was quick to respond and answered all of my questions. She took the time to ask about my dog—what makes him comfortable, his experiences with other people, and more. Her quick response time and warm communication assured me that the experience would go smoothly. Of course, on the day of the photoshoot, both my dog and I were nervous. We’re new to the world of photography, poses, and whatnot—and with my dog’s anxiety around new people, keeping him both comfortable and photo-ready was my top priority. Sonya greeted us with such a gentle and kind demeanor that my dog quickly began to trust her and was soon ready to embark on his new modeling career. I chose a remote location, based on Sonya’s portfolio and her recommendation tailored to my preferences for the final portraits. She completely understood my vision and knew exactly where to go for the best lighting and backgrounds. We took a lot of pictures, and by the end of the day, both my dog and I had gotten our exercise—and I left excited to see the final shots. Within just a few days, Sonya shared a preview gallery and even helped me narrow down my favorites—a nearly impossible task! Needless to say, the portraits came out beautifully, and I now have a framed work of art on my desk so I can always have my little boy close, even when he’s not beside me. To fellow pet parents: I felt absolutely confident choosing Sonya for this experience, and the end result exceeded all my hopes. From the first message to the final product, everything was seamless. Thank you, Sonya, for giving me and my dog this unforgettable memory.

-Carlos N.

Sonya was so empathic and soothing to my Husky. We had a lot of concerns going into the appointment due to my dog's high anxiety, and Sonya was more than happy to work with us to ensure that Noodle felt safe during the whole process. The photos came out amazing, and it was hard to choose just a select few because Sonya truly captured my dog's personality in every photo. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and I hope to work with Sonya in the future!

-Breanna B.

Sonya is an AMAZING photographer!! She clearly knows what she's doing, both with the camera and with animals. She was so easy to work with and made sure to capture our vision. The photos are absolutely beautiful, I'm obsessed with them! Definitely recommend!

-Rain S.

We had an awesome first photoshoot with Sonya! She was so patient and flexible with our two dogs and had such creative ways of getting their attention. The final photos really captured all the fun we had during the shoot, and she brought out the autumn vibes that I was really hoping to see. Moreover, she is kind and thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We highly recommend her services and look forward to more photoshoots in the future!

-Belle H.

Sonya was absolutely incredible, bringing our dream photoshoot to life! My dog was completely obsessed with her, and the care, attention, and treats she gave him were so thoughtful and above and beyond. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we can't wait to work with her again!

-Jenika B.

Sonya did an amazing job capturing the personality of my two boy cats! She brought them personalized bandanas with their names on them, and she set up a backdrop and professional lighting in my home, and she also brought a ballon "10" since it was the cats' 10th birthday. I'm so happy with the photos. I can't recommend Sonya enough!

-Anna R.

Sonya was fantastic. So patient and caring. She turned TinkerBelle into a “model”. TinkerBelle was very willing to do anything Sonya asked. The pictures are adorable. I highly recommend getting your fur babies pictures taken with Sonya.

-Tammy O.

I had a birthday shoot of my baby boy, Bam Bam, with Sonya about a week ago, and it was a very fun experience! I’ve never had my pets’ photos taken and Bam Bam is only a puppy so I wasn’t sure how it’d go but Sonya was very kind and knew how to get him to sit and pose for his pictures :) The studio was adorable and everything (the props, the balloons, treats, etc) was so prepared and professional, it was so exciting! I also received my pictures very fast, very good service!! I will definitely be coming back when Bam Bam is a little bit older.

-Dalyian H.

Sonya is a wonderful photographer and made our sessions super fun and rewarding for the pup. Would definitely recommend to any pet owner looking to capture their baby's special moment!

-Cassie Z.

Sonya was excellent throughout the entire process. Our sweet girl's health was declining quickly, and we wanted to have family photos before our last day with her. Sonya was flexible with her time due to the weather and battled a rainy day with us to get the perfect family photos before our last day with Violet. She communicated quickly via email or text and was easily reachable for questions. She had great toys, treats, and squeakers to keep our pups's attention. We're incredibly happy with our new family photos!

Beverly P.

Sonya was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! She was extremely patient and professional handling my baby girl! The results speak for themselves— the photos came out beautifully!

Ashley G.

We had a wonderful photo shoot with our dog. Sonya is very experienced and friendly with dogs. She is well prepared. She had treats, toys, tricks, and a positive attitude with our dog! Sonya has creative poses not just for pets, but also for owners to take pictures with their pets. Our photos turned out fantastic and were delivered on time. Highly recommend!

-Jonathan P.

Sonya was amazing! From the beginning of the process, to booking the appointment, to the actual day of the shoot and in between, she communicated well and was so friendly. She is so patient, kind and loving towards both pets and humans!! She interacted so well with Koa and went above and beyond in making sure puppy and owners were comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and generosity. She was professional and very respectful as well. Her expertise was so fun to watch too as she uses different techniques to get Koa to do different things. I'm looking forward to working with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a shoot for their furry baby!! She is definitely one of a kind and her passion and heart shines in what she does. The photos were too adorable!!

-Chelsea Lei R.

Sonya was so welcoming and she has a beautiful spirit. She is so kind to her clients and their pups. My husky, Luna, felt right at home in her studio. Thank you Sonya for being so patient and working so well with Luna. We absolutely cherish these photos!
