Because the Best Stories Start With Your Dog

Your home is filled with stories — and some of the most meaningful ones begin and end with your dog. From joyful chaos to quiet companionship, these moments deserve to be remembered in a way that lasts.

Based in Chilliwack and serving Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, I create timeless portraits and museum-quality artwork that become stylish home decor and daily reminders of what matters most.

If You're Thinking, 'But What if My Dog Won’t Sit Still?'

Don't worry, I won’t be asking them to.

Your dog is one of a kind, and I'm here to capture their true personality — whether they're calm and collected, bursting with excitement, shy, or easily distracted.

That's why I let your dog “just be themselves,” taking all the time needed to capture their unique energy and spirit. With a combination of photography skills, a deep understanding of canine behaviour, and plenty of patience, I create timeless images that truly reflect your furry friend's character.

See how easy and dog-friendly the process is.

Fraser Valley & Greater Vancouver’s Photographer for Dog-Loving Families

I'm Deb — a nationally accredited pet photographer based in Chilliwack. With a background spanning over 20 years in dog training and behaviour, I blend expertise, patience, and artistry to create portraits that feel both authentic and timeless.

My work is inspired by the bond you share with your dog — the quirks, the joy, the heart of your story. I turn those moments into heirloom artwork for your home.

What Clients Say

“...It’s obvious that Deb is very passionate about her work and her clients. You can see that in everything that she does. She connects very well with animals. She's got a heart of gold.”

- Shelly Fennell

"The experience with Cedar & Bark was effortless and far better than I could have imagined. Deb was totally prepared, she did her homework, and the follow-up was so much more involved than I had thought."

- Megan Owen-Evans

"Deb seems to be able to read a dog's energy, and it comes through in the photos. For instance, she did a whole bunch where Whiskey was running, and you could see that his ears are flapping, his tongue's out, he's super happy."

- Amy Pejic
