Our Story
Hello! I’m Sam, and this is my best friend, Leonard — the dog who changed everything. 🐶
After over 15 years as a professional photographer, capturing world tours for artists like Dan + Shay, NF, Rebelution, Griz, and many more, I realized my favorite photos weren’t from the stage — they were of Leonard.
Leonard came from a rescue situation and inspired me to see how powerful a single photo can be — how it can capture a dog’s journey, their quirks, and the bond we share with them. That’s how Sam & Leonard’s Pawtraitz was born — a place where every dog (and their human!) gets to shine.
Whether it’s just your pup or both of you together, my goal is to create authentic, timeless portraits that celebrate your dog’s personality — from zoomies to quiet cuddles.
Every photo tells a story — and I’d love to help tell yours.
🐾 Book your session today and let’s capture your dog’s best moments — together.
