Quiet, patient portrait sessions designed around the animals you adore.

About YourFriendBeetle

YourFriendBeetle is a one-person studio dedicated to calm, personality-first portraits of the animals who run your household. Sessions move at your pet's pace with lots of breaks and zero pressure, so their quirks and softness come through without forcing poses.

From couch cuddles to backyard zoomies, the goal is to photograph how your companion really lives and loves. That means reading their body language, keeping things fun, and letting the light, textures, and little gestures tell the story.

Booking is intentionally limited each month to keep every shoot unrushed. Share what your pet enjoys and any accessibility needs, and we'll build a plan together—drop a note anytime at studio@yourfriendbeetle.photography.

What to expect

  • Friendly pre-session call to learn your pet's routines, favorite treats, and sensitivities.
  • Flexible pacing with pauses for decompression, play, or extra sniffs of the camera.
  • Location options that match your pet's comfort—home, yard, or a quiet park you love.
  • Safety-first approach: harnesses and leashes stay on unless you say otherwise, and retouching removes them later.
