Your Dog is Your Family
I get it, my dog is my little boy too! And I bet you celebrate your dog’s birthday or adoptiversary with a healthy pupcake just for him. It’s very likely your phone has more puppy pictures than any other subject matter, right? You know memories are priceless and that dogs’ only fault is they leave us way too soon… You smile just thinking about your dog and treasure having a fun and joyful experience with her right by your side! If you’re looking for a friendly dog photographer to capture your best friend and the bond you share, reach out to me!
About Andrea Ou and Otto
Hi there, Andrea here! I'm a professional dog trainer turned dog photographer, with BFAs in both graphic design and filmmaking. Being around dogs — and dog people — makes me very happy. It’s just that simple.
At Paws and Play Studio, I'm passionate about creating artwork that celebrates your pets and brings you joy. After all, a house isn't truly a home without photographs of the four-legged family!
I believe in giving back to the community and helping the less fortunate animals. I donate a portion of our proceeds to animal rescue organizations, so by supporting us, you take part in helping animals in need.
I am proudly owned by my Westie, Otto. He lights up my life! When we are both excited, we howl together and sing our window-shattering “duet.” We used to go on many outdoorsy trips together but slowed things down a bit because Otto’s furless sister and baby brother require a lot of assistance as a Kindergartener and a toddler. We’re “training” them to enjoy the great outdoors for future adventures!
Anyway, reach out if you have questions and I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
