Here’s what some of our students have said about the cards…

These posing cards are brilliant! I wish I had this when I started my dog photography journey because I know it would have helped ease my nerves during a session while I tried to remember all of the poses. This quick reference guide includes tips about lenses, angles, backgrounds, and I especially love the poses that include the dog parents! There are so many examples, even after years of being a dog photographer, I know I'll be using Nicole's posing guide frequently.

- Kristy, Central Bark Photography

Nicole has simplified posing pets with their people with understandable and easy to replicate directions that help me communicate a variety poses to my clients. No more awkward and uncomfortable poses that simply don’t look right; with the visual examples provided as well, I don’t have to second guess or struggle to convey what I’d like my clients to do. Truly brilliant!

- Jes, Bark & Gold Photography

The new posing guide is absolutely PERFECT to have on hand during my sessions! It makes it so easy to add more variety to my session galleries, which gives my clients more images that they can’t wait to purchase!

- Amy, Wander Pet Photography

The app will give me so much confidence when I'm at a session. Knowing that I have a list of poses I can fall back to is priceless.

- Diana, Dogs in Focus Photography

Hi!  I’m Nicole.

A dog photographer, world traveler, conservationist, horse-obsessed chocolate martini-connoisseur. 

I’ve helped over 1,000 pet photographers master their craft and build their business.  Starting my business in 2010 I was a family photographer that also photographed pets - but in 2015 I went all in on dog hair and slobber and started photographing pets exclusively. 

Over the past 10 years I’ve been absolutely honored to speak at industry events such as ImagingUSA, ClickAway, and Shutterhound - to name a few.  I've also hosted my own workshops in such far-flung locations like New Zealand, Iceland and Costa Rica.  Nothing lights me up quite like getting a note from a student about their latest achievement - so please let me know how these cards help you!
