About Lil Monster Photography

I’m a dog and horse photographer in Boston, Massachusetts, and I serve clients in New England and the surrounding areas. I specialize in pet portraits and action photography, but I’ve been known to take photos of other animals, including the two-legged variety ;-).


I’ve been clicking pictures of pets for approximately ten years. However, it was more of a hobby at first and became a business in 2016, when I decided to get serious about my artwork. Over the past four years, I’ve enjoyed creating art for clients with different breeds of dogs, as well as some horses, cats, and children. 


Along with prepping for the photo session, I conduct client education, which helps to create high end, museum-quality photography that can proudly be displayed on walls in homes.

The Lil Monster Photography Difference

Each client approaches me with ideas about what they want, and I work with them to achieve those objectives. Additionally, I like to brainstorm with clients to discover things that they had not thought of but may want.


One aspect that makes me second to none is that I offer a full turnkey service, which means that the client only needs to pick up the phone or send an email. Once the ball gets rolling, the rest of the journey is handled by me.


What also sets me apart is my ability to freeze a moment in time for people and pay proper tribute to memorialize their pets the way they see them. Customizing sessions to the clients and animal’s needs has made me successful.


If they have a dog that likes to lay around on the couch, I can easily plan the session to be at the house and the pet’s favorite spot. If the animal likes to hike, swim, run, chase a ball, or catch a frisbee, then I’m adaptable to that as well. Consequently, capturing the pet’s personality through art is truly my most favorite part of running the business. 


A very close second would be the relationships that I’ve developed with clients, as talking about their lives and their pets can be personal to people, and I’m happy to share that with them while achieving my goals.


One of my most significant achievements has been surviving 2020! No, really, it’s been the balancing act of managing the business with a full-time career and a very young family. 


Photography is more than an escape for me as I get to meet and play with other people’s dogs and horses, which makes my day.


My dream for the future is to continue to learn from other photographers and my clients. I feel that I understand new things with every session, and this process is vital to my growth. 


I’ve also taken to Instagram, Facebook and updated my website to have a more prominent online presence and to develop my brand equity. Additionally, I’ve created some partnerships with animal-related businesses where I offer free products and services.


I also believe in giving back to society. As part of that belief, I regularly donate to area animal shelters, Seeing Eyes for the Blind, and have hosted events for charities such as Project Samana Inc.
