Unleashing SimplicityDogs on Paper is a photography studio creating artistic minimalist portraits of dogs. From soulful eyes and expressive features to the gentle curve of a tail — each photograph captures the pure, unfiltered beauty that is dog.
The Art of Canine Portraiture
Pup-worthy portrait sessions inspired by your dog.
At our Sacramento area studio, we celebrate dogs through our signature portrait sessions. Our simple white backdrop allows dogs to shine, while optional props and accessories add personal flair. All sessions include a selection of retouched high-resolution color portraits; monochrome versions are available upon request.
After the session, your dog's portraits are presented in a personalized online gallery where you can select your favorites. This curated space also showcases our print and products offerings, each designed to transform your dog's portraits into works of art. Additional digital images and products are available for purchase à la carte.
Our delivery turnaround is approximately 2 weeks. Quality takes time – we retouch each photo by hand to ensure it meets our exacting standards.
The Beauty of White Paper
The perfect backdrop for every home.
We primarily use white seamless paper for our portraits, creating a timeless, elegant look that complements any home decor. White backgrounds eliminate distractions, allowing your dog's personality and beauty to shine through while brightening any space. This versatile choice ensures your portrait will be a timeless piece of art that seamlessly blends with your home's aesthetic, regardless of wall color or decor style. For our petit sessions, designed for a quick updated portrait of your dog, we offer a choice of white or neutral paper backdrops. These subtle alternatives, including soft greys, warm vanillas, and soft blues, provide variety while maintaining the clean, minimalist style that defines our artistic approach to dog portraiture.
Artwork + Other Products
A piece of your heart, as art.
Our studio creates more than just photos. Our mission is to transform your dog's portraits into stunning artwork — not just digital files lost in a computer. We offer a variety of beautiful products, from matted prints and wall art to albums and folios — all available from the finest labs in the world through the client gallery. There, you can visualize your dog's portraits in these quality products.

We aim to turn shelter stays into 'happily ever afters'. Interested shelters and rescues, please contact us to discuss showcasing your adoptable dogs.
