EEEEEEEK! Your dog is MEGA ADORABLE!!!! SWOON!
(This is totally & entirely the way I’ll greet you when we meet!)
Who am I?
I’m Cahlean (Ca-lean), the energetic, dog obsessed photographer here to celebrate your dog with playful, vibrant and classic images. Since 2012 (EEEK!) I’ve been photographing AWESOME dogs & their people throughout Minnesota.
My current muse is my Greater Swiss Mountain dog Blue (his full name is Remington’s Pride Blueberry Buckle). Aside from being obsessed with dogs I swoon over doughnuts, waffles, eggnog, vintage dresses, tattoos, dragons, good books, cast iron waffle irons and glass cake stands!
Plus I make dog collars! Atomic Collars
I can’t wait to meet you & your dog!

In Memory of Cash
My heart is heavy this evening. A quick pop on Facebook brought me face to face with a GIANT merle dane face – Cash. This wasn’t a happy posting. Karla, Cash’s mom, was posing that this sweet giant gent had passed away in the morning. He was 10 years old.
Adoptable Dogs at Tri County Humane Society – St. Cloud MN
You may know, or perhaps you don’t, but as a refresher either way, I volunteer on Tuesdays at Tri County Humane Society! I arrive at 11 am, prime shoddy light time but it is an hour before they open so I don’t have to wrangle dogs when there are potential
