Meet the Photographer: My Journey and Passion for Dog Photography

Hey there, dog lovers! 🐾📸 I’m Shannon Edney, and I’m thrilled to share a bit about my journey and my passion for dog photography with you. Welcome to my world, where every wagging tail, playful leap, and soulful gaze gets captured through my lens.


 
 

A Little About Me

From as far back as I can remember, dogs have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up, my home was filled with the joyous chaos that only a house full of dogs can bring. Their boundless energy, unconditional love, and unique personalities fascinated me. It wasn't long before I found myself wanting to capture every moment with them, which led me to pick up a camera and start documenting our lives together.


The Journey Begins

My love for photography began in my early years, snapping photos of my own pets and the pets of friends and family. This hobby quickly turned into a passion as I realized how much joy these photos brought to people. Seeing their reactions to the portraits of their furry friends sparked something inside me – a desire to do this professionally and bring that same happiness to others.


 
 

Why Dogs?

Dogs have an incredible way of touching our lives with their loyalty, joy, and companionship. They are family members, adventure buddies, and constant sources of laughter and love. My goal as a photographer is to capture the essence of each dog I photograph – their unique spirit, their quirks, and the bond they share with their humans.


The Heart of My Work

What do I love most about dog photography? It's the connection. It's the wagging tails when a dog sees their favorite toy, the sparkle in their eyes when they’re playing, and the serene moments when they’re simply enjoying being with their people. Every dog has a story to tell, and my mission is to tell it through beautiful, heartfelt images.


 
 

Why Treasure Valley?

I recently moved to Caldwell, Idaho, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring my passion for dog photography to the greater Treasure Valley area. This beautiful region, with its stunning landscapes and vibrant communities, provides the perfect backdrop for capturing memorable moments with your furry friends. From scenic parks to urban settings, the possibilities are endless!
