No-Studio, All-Adventure Sessions
Where Pets Run Free and Chaos is the Magic
Forget stiff poses and forced smiles.
At Take A Hike Photography, outdoor adventure pet photography is all about letting your pet be exactly who they are—mud, slobber, and all. Whether you're trekking through Park City's trails, splashing in the Bonneville Salt Flats, or rolling through the tall grass of Summit County, every session is built around your pet's natural personality.
Your pet is free to:
- Sniff
- Run
- Play
- Explore at their own pace
There is no timer ticking away and no pressure to perform. The real moments shine through naturally, creating images that tell the story of your bond and your pet's true personality.
Judgment-Free and Anxiety-Proof Photography
Sessions Designed for Real Pets and Real Owners
Worried your high-energy pet will run wild or your shy pet will hide behind you?
That's not a problem here. I welcome the crazy, the nervous, the muddy, and the loud. With no time limits, your pet sets the pace while you relax and enjoy the experience.
Every session includes:
- No-rush scheduling
- Professional leash removal during editing
- A safe, judgment-free environment
- An experience tailored to your pet's personality
From clumsy young animals to wise old snouts, every pet is welcome. This is about capturing your pet's real life—not a perfectly polished version.
How Outdoor Adventure Sessions Work
From Trail to Wall Art: The Process in Plain English
Every session starts by choosing a location that matches your pet's spirit. Whether it's the rugged peaks near Park City, the dramatic light of the Bonneville Salt Flats, or your favorite Utah trail, the setting becomes part of the story.
During the session, I follow your pet's lead, capturing:
- Action shots
- Candid moments
- Genuine expressions
- The little in-between moments that make your pet unique
Afterward, you'll receive a gallery of hand-edited images with professional leash removal and natural-looking edits.
You'll also have the opportunity to choose from:
- Digital image collections
- Metal prints
- Acrylic wall art
- Framed canvas artwork
All artwork is hand-delivered throughout Utah, giving you beautiful, lasting pieces that celebrate your pet's biggest adventures.
Because Pets Deserve to Be Legends
Relax. We Handle the Chaos and the Details.
Take A Hike Photography is for the crazy animal people who want more than just a photo. They want memories that feel as adventurous as their pet's spirit.
With a no-rush, judgment-free approach, I make sure your pet's personality stays at the center of every session while I handle the technical details.
That includes:
- Professional leash removal
- Natural color editing
- Premium wall art that lasts
Sessions are available throughout Utah, including Summit County, Park City, Salt Lake City, and the Bonneville Salt Flats. In-home and studio sessions are also available for pets who are happiest in familiar surroundings.
Your pet will never "ruin" a session. Here, the chaos is the point—and that's exactly what makes the images unforgettable.
