Minnesota dog photography for dog-obsessed people who want epic,
personality-filled artwork that actually feels like their dog — quirks and all

This version of your dog is worth remembering.

Dogs don’t stay the same forever.

The puppy chaos softens.
The grey hairs appear.
The way they look at you changes — deeper, calmer, wiser.

Right now, your dog has quirks you know by heart.
The head tilt. The side-eye. The way their ears perk just so.
Those little moments are what make them them.

About A Dog Photography creates epic, personality-filled artwork that captures your dog exactly as they are — not posed perfection, but real connection, real energy, and real love.

Because this version of your dog?
It deserves to be remembered.

Leashes for safety. (No one will ever know!)

Hey, I’m Cahlean (ca-lean), the dog-obsessed photographer, detail-noticer, and the human behind About A Dog Photography. I photograph dogs the way their people see them: full of personality, heart, and those little moments that change before we’re ready.

Because this version of your dog? It’s worth remembering.

Little Love Notes

This is the 2nd time we've had Cahlean take our family photos with our dogs. The first time was with our 2 dogs at the time, and this time it was with all 4 we have now. Cahlean took on the job of photographing 4 unruly dogs like an absolute superhero! There was nothing easy about this job, but I didn't hear her complain one bit. She clearly loves dogs and enjoys interacting with all of their different personalities. She brings out the best in each of them and 'rolls with it' when they are being uncooperative. We'd highly recommend Cahlean for any doggo-photographing needs!

Even though it has been 6 years since we did our photo shoot with you, we still look at those pictures all the time. You truly captured our Corey's spirit and character. We are so grateful for that day.

I had such an amazing time as Cahlean captured beautiful images of my pups! I was nervous with how stressed of one my dogs was that the photos wouldn’t turn out, but Cahlean took amazing photos! The products are simple beautiful and far better than I could have ever imagined. Can’t wait to do it again. I would highly recommend About A Dog Photography.

I would say that Cahlean is amazing with dogs and I would highly recommend her for your pup photography needs. She has a way of getting their attention and has photo ideas to keep things moving along. She’s also great to work with as a human! She has a great personality and is always quick to respond when communicating. Overall, we had a great experience with her!

My favorite part of the session was watching you work with Surly. You are a talented photographer and naturally good with dogs, so your ability to get Surly to do exactly what you wanted her to do was awesome. Clearly you are very trained and skilled at what you do and I love the variety of photos we received back. They are displayed beautifully all over our house.

Cahlean did a fantastic job with our two dogs. It clearly shows how much she loves dogs. She met us at a location of our choice and took so many beautiful pictures it was hard not to pick them all.

This Version of Your Dog Is Worth Remembering (Winter Edition)

January 9, 2026

Winter slows everything down.  Walks are shorter. Snow blankets the ground. The world feels quieter. And your dog curls up a little closer than usual.  This season is refreshing, cozy, calm and chill. We gain more time to notice – how our dogs settle in, tromp in the snow or simply exist next to us.
