Becoming Dog Photography

About Journey Sessions®

I am honored to provide photo sessions for dogs that are nearing the end of this journey.  The sessions are normally 2 hours at an meaningful outdoor location of guardian's choosing.  Also, I always offer a follow up session for free, as the baby may not feel well or they may be nervous at the first session.  As such, I always suggest to preserve moments before they are too down far the path, so we have that option, and so we can capture their better moments. I thoughtfully hand edit each photo (no blanket filters/presets) to provide you a personalized gallery of approx. 20-40 fine art images from which you can choose for your investment.

About Me

Hello!  I'm Charly Becoming, and I am a dedicated DOG photographer, guardian and advocate; I am not a photographer who simply added dog photography services as another revenue stream.  My founding and ongoing motivation has always been to provide guardians with a captured moment in time and to serve as an advocate for their welfare.

My career as a professional dog photographer (and my obsession with dogs) began with my first dog, Forrest (Black Lab).  Within months of buying my first “grown-up” camera, Forrest came in to my life.  He was only 5-weeks old, and little did he know that he would become my model and my muse.  With each “smile for mommy” and “stay, staaay, staaaay”, he practiced patience and never lost his reliable lab smile.  Forrest is the reason I was able to practice and perfect my craft and start my own dog portrait business.  My posse has since grown by two more dogs, Lotus and Canyon, who have followed in Forrest’s footsteps.  They have all provided me with glimpses of their of innocence, trust, hopeful spirits, and joyous zest for life. 

I am so lucky to have paused and preserved a moment in time during their development, their adventures, their quiet times, their lives.  This is the reason why I became a dog photographer and what I strive to do for you, because, as any dog guardian knows – there is no such thing as “just a dog”. Dogs are our best friends, our trusted confidantes, our hiking buddies, our constant source of support, and our most loyal babies.
