Energetic, light-filled studio pawtraits — made to be kept, framed, and cherished.
A note from the studio
“Every dog deserves to be seen the way their person sees them.”
— Dagny
Founder & Photographer
About the studio
A pawtrait is more than a picture — it’s a way to hold them still. I want to make photos of pups people hang in hallways, tuck into wallets, and share with their friends and family for years to come.
I started Vanity Fur because I believe every dog has a face worth stopping for. Sessions are energetic, treat-fueled, and always on the dog’s schedule. That’s when the magic happens! Every session is a collaboration between you, me, your dog, and the light capturing their every expression.
Studio based in Silverlake, with select Paw Pups across Los Angeles and Austin, TX.
Sessions & packages
Every session includes a private digital gallery, delivered within two weeks.
Paw Pups
Hosting a party, launch, or fundraiser? I’ll pack up the studio and pop up at your venue — portable backdrop, proper lighting, and a gallery of portraits for every guest and their dog.
Kind words
Gift a session
The best thing you can give someone who loves their dog? A beautiful record of them. Gift cards available in any amount, redeemable for any package.
Sessions book about 2–3 weeks out. I’d love to hear about your pup.
Sessions & pricing
Every session is shot in the private Silverlake studio, with plenty of breaks, snacks, and a gallery delivered within two weeks.
Before you book
A quiet, light-filled private space in Silverlake, Los Angeles. You’ll get the exact address once your session is booked.
Almost certainly. We go slow, take breaks, and there are a lot of treats. Some of the best portraits in the gallery are of dogs who arrived nervous and left relaxed.
A private online gallery within two weeks. Additional downloads and prints available to order any time after that.
Yes — extra pups, humans, or time can always be added. Reach out before booking and we’ll build something custom.
Their favourite treat, a favourite toy, and anything that helps them feel like themselves. Leashes are welcome and easy to edit out.
Sessions are non-refundable, but we never want you to lose your investment. You can reschedule up to 48 hours before your appointment, or keep the value as a credit toward a future session or gift it to someone else. Life happens — reach out and we’ll always try to work something out.
Custom sessions, rescue organizations, commercial shoots — I love a one-of-a-kind project. Tell me what you’re imagining.
Paw Pups
Pop-up portrait sessions at bars, shops, and fundraisers across LA and Austin. Bring your dog — or just come to meet some.
Bring your dog for a studio portrait at Golden Mean. Each mini session includes one edited portrait, a digital gallery of all shots, and the option to purchase more online.
Limited to one pup per session. Non-refundable, but transferable as credit toward a future studio session. Walk-ins welcome as space allows.
A traveling version of the studio. I pack up the backdrop, proper lighting, a stack of treats, and set up at a venue for the afternoon — dog bars, retail stores, restaurants, fundraisers for rescues.
Guests bring their dogs for a quick editorial mini-session. Each dog gets one finished portrait plus a full digital gallery to look through. Additional downloads and prints available after.
It’s the fastest, friendliest way to get a real portrait of your dog — and an excellent party, whether you’re hosting or dropping by.
Host a Paw-Pup
Bars, launches, birthdays, rescue fundraisers — if there are people who love dogs, I’ll bring the studio. Reach out for custom event pricing.
Selected work

Sessions book 2–3 weeks out. I’d love to hear about them.
