A Holiday Portrait Experience by Dogs In The Wild

December 12, 2026 Porter Corners, NY From $150 (+$50/additional dog)

This holiday season, we’re trading artificial backdrops for something a little more real and rugged. Set in an open country field with a vintage 4×4 truck, we’ll capture a little of that old-fashioned holiday spirit in the company of the dogs that make our lives that much better. There’s something about an old truck, a freshly cut tree, and a good dog by your side that just feels right.

This year, join me for something a little different. We’ll create moments inspired by simpler times, with honest, natural portraits full of grit, nostalgia, and character. The kind of photographs that tell a story and become part of your own holiday traditions.

In the event of bad weather, sessions will move to Sunday, December 13.

  • Homemade Holiday snacks
  • A private outdoor portrait session
  • Five professionally edited Hi-Res digital photos
  • Individual dog portraits and family photos welcome

  • A unique dog-friendly Christmas photography experience
What to WearTips for getting ready for your session

Think classic American workwear, your favorite well-worn flannel. Rugged, comfortable, and timeless. A few ideas for the whole family:

  • Nothing New: Wear that old shirt you don’t mind getting covered in pine pitch.
  • Jackets: Canvas work jackets, barn coats, quilted vests, and wool coats.
  • Tops: Plaid flannels, chunky knit sweaters, henleys, and cozy layers.
  • Bottoms: Faded denim, corduroy, canvas pants, or overalls for the little ones.
  • Footwear: Leather work boots, duck boots, or your favorite worn-in boots, no shiny new sneakers.
  • Accessories: Knit caps, wool scarves, and tan leather gloves.
  • Colors: Earthy browns, olive greens, warm tans, faded reds, denim blues, and cream.

Most importantly, come as you are. That old jacket, favorite flannel, and pair of worn-in boots might be exactly what we’re looking for. For this one, shop a thrift store, not L.L. Bean.
