Pet Photographer in Pismo Beach, CA
Dogs love Pismo Beach, and so do pet photographers. The wide, dog-friendly beaches and coastal scenery make for stunning pet portraits with that classic California backdrop.
I am Amy Marlan, and I have spent 20+ years creating portraits that celebrate the bond between people and their pets. Based in Grover Beach, I work throughout San Luis Obispo County and absolutely love photographing pets in Pismo Beach. Your fur baby is family, and they deserve artwork as beautiful as the joy they bring to your life every single day.

I know every golden-hour angle and hidden corner of San Luis Obispo County, and I will make sure we find the perfect setting for your pet's portraits.
What's Included in Your Pismo Beach Pet Session
Pre-Session Consultation
We start with a conversation about your pet — their personality, their quirks, their favorite treats, and how they feel about new places. I will learn everything I need to know to make your Pismo Beach session a success, and together we will choose the perfect location and plan every detail.
Professional Portrait Session
A relaxed, fun session lasting about an hour at one of Pismo Beach's beautiful locations. I work at your pet's pace, using treats, toys, and a whole lot of patience to capture authentic expressions and genuine moments. Your pet's comfort always comes first.
In-Person Reveal & Ordering
About two to three weeks after your session, you will come to my Grover Beach studio to see your images for the first time on a large screen. We will curate your favorites together and design custom wall art and albums that showcase your pet beautifully.
Museum-Quality Artwork
Canvas wraps, framed fine art prints, designer albums, and gift prints — all professionally finished and ready to display. Your pet portraits are not just photos. They are custom artwork created to last a lifetime and beyond.
