Joan Walker has been photographing dogs professionally for over 30 years—long enough to say “furever” and mean it. As the co-founder of The PAWtographers, Florida’s premier luxury dog photography studio, Joan blends technical precision with storytelling soul, capturing everything from soulful studio portraits to underwater action and skyline silhouettes. Her work has earned international awards, but it’s her ability to connect with both dogs and humans that sets her apart. Joan is also a seasoned educator who believes great photography should be equal parts lighting, laughter, and a lint roller.
A four-day, hands-on experience in modern dog photography—full of wagging tails, real-world learning, and positive reinforcement. You’ll work with live dog models across studio, nature, and urban settings to master lighting, posing, and storytelling. The final day dives into marketing, SEO, and how to build a thriving pet photography business. Whether you’re refining your skills or growing your brand, this course blends creativity, technique, and a whole lot of fun.
