Because they aren’t just pets-they are family…

The Pet Parent With a Problem…

If you're like most devoted pet parents, your camera roll is overflowing with blurry pictures of your dog mid-zoomie or your cat giving you that perfect side-eye. You try to catch them in the right light, at the right angle, doing the adorable thing they always do, but no matter how many times you try, you’re left with photos that don’t quite capture who they really are.

Maybe your dog looks nervous around strangers. Maybe your rescue cat hides from new people. Maybe the idea of getting them to “pose” sounds like a total joke.

Still, you want something more than quick snapshots. You want real memories. The kind that tug at your heart long after the fur settles.

Why This Matters More Than You Think

Our pets impact on us is lifelong. They are our comfort, our chaos, our comic relief. They teach us about love, loyalty, and the power of living in the moment. So when it comes time to capture their essence, you don’t want stiff poses or studio backdrops.

You want images that feel like them—rolling in the grass, chasing a leaf, dozing in their favourite sunbeam.

Unfortunately, many pet parents don’t know where to turn. Traditional photographers often treat pets as props instead of personalities. And for animals who are shy, reactive, or recently adopted, that kind of experience can be stressful.

You need a photographer who gets it.

Meet the Photographer Who Understands

Hi, I’m Tracy, and I’m the heart behind Toes and Beans Photography. I specialize in photographing rescue pets and beloved companions in a way that’s playful, patient, and deeply respectful of who they are.

Whether you’re honouring a senior dog, celebrating a quirky kitten, or documenting the early days with your newly adopted best friend, I create a space where your pet can be themselves, in their favourite space.

I’ve studied animal behaviour, taken courses in low-stress pet handling, and continuously invest in education so that both you and your furry friend feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Here’s how we make pet photo magic together:

1. Let’s Talk – You send a request for a consult and we chat about your pet’s quirks, comforts, and needs.

2. Custom Session Planning – I tailor our session to your pet’s energy level and personality. Nervous dog? We’ll meet in a quiet spot they know well. Feisty kitten? Let’s bring out their favourite toys.

3. Session Day – This is where the fun begins. There’s no pressure for perfect poses. We follow your pet’s lead and capture real, joyful moments.

4. Gallery Reveal – During a virtual or in-person session, you receive a curated collection of images that capture your pet’s unique soul.

Every session is relaxed, animal-first, and infused with love.

What You’ll Have in the End

Imagine flipping through an album one day. You see their goofy grin, their gentle eyes, their energy and essence frozen in time.

These aren’t just photos. They’re pieces of your heart, wrapped in fur (or hair, or scales, or feathers!).

They’ll remind you of the way your dog looked at you when you came home, how your cat curled up on your chest, the bond you built together.

With lifestyle pet photography, you walk away with more than images—you get emotional evidence of a love that changed your life.

Why Now Is the Time

It’s easy to think, “I’ll do it someday.”

But time passes quickly. The truth is, tomorrow isn’t promised—and that’s why today matters. There is no “perfect” time, so lets capture those cuddles today!

You don’t have to wait until they’re trained, thinner, calmer, or more photogenic.

They are perfect right now, just as they are. Let’s honour that.
