Today I want to talk a little bit about why I became a professional pet photographer, and then I am going to talk about why you might want to have your pet’s story captured. One of the things that I notice now that I’m a few decades down the road of life, is that…
To be loved by a cat. Seattle pet photography by Marika Moffitt.
When I was 21 years old, I lived in a two bedroom apartment in a fourplex with two roommates. It was my first apartment, and I think we only paid around $750 per month for rent. We only lived there for a year, but so many wonderful memories come from that year. One of my…
Memory: it’s a gift. A unique way to share your pet through photography.
I love giving gifts. Like, LOOOOOOOOVE it. It’s a part of my love language to show people I care about that I am thinking of them. I have a couple of friends who have the most beautiful little baby girl who LOVES dogs. My friends actually like to go through my Instagram profile with her…

Why a studio session might be perfect for your dog or cat. Seattle pet photography by Marika Moffitt.
