Gretchen Otero Pet Photography - San Diego, CA
You've found San Diego's photographer that serves pets and their people. We create authentic and natural portraits of the people, pets, and moments you want to remember forever.
Our clients value preserving the memories of their pets and family and through printed wall art and heirloom albums.
Since 2004 we have focused on providing our clients with quality artwork intended to be loved for more than a lifetime.
After your session, you'll have the walls of your home adorned with lasting memories of the people and pets you love the most.
We hear "my dog won't sit and stay," all the time and that's fine for us!
Your favorite artwork will come from the times your pet is relaxed and having a good time!
Capturing your pet's personality includes their jovial spirits, mischievous grins, and charming winks. Let them run! Let them play! They are behaving exactly how they should be for us to capture authentic joy!
I can’t wait to hear more about your pets and portrait goals! Let’s chat!
