Welcome!

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!
