Hi, I’m Terri

I am Terri, photographer behind the lens at Terri J Photography.  I’m so pleased you found your way here! If you’re like me you believe that nothing makes a home feel more like a home than a furry friend at your feet (or on your bed!)

I’d like nothing more than to get some amazing photos of your furry friend, so let’s do this!

 
 

A little about me

As a dog lover I totally understand the love you have for your dog. I am dedicated to capturing photos that will always remind you of the special relationship between you and your dog, moments you will remember forever!

Of course you are looking for Toronto’s best dog photographer to capture beautiful photos of you and your pet.

For over 8 years I’ve been photographing Toronto’s dogs and their owners and capturing the bond that they share.

I have many years of experience as a dog trainer and have achieved winning awards and titles with my own dogs in obedience and agility competitions. This experience enables me to work with puppies, shy dogs, the elderly and the wild at heart.

My love of dogs started as a very young child when our family owned a Cocker Spaniel named "Happy", named for his very sad-looking face. I wish I had some photographs of him but sadly none were taken. From then on our family always had a dog or two, and as an adult of course I was never without a dog.

 
 

Having loved, owned and trained dogs for most of my life, it was a natural step for me to combine my love of dogs with my dedication to photography and to share these passions with people who wish to capture their dog's unique personality and the special bond that you share together.

I don’t currently have a dog of my own, although I adore my 2 “granddogs” so I’d love to hang out with yours in a photo session!

Taking photos of other people’s dogs and dogs with their people together, is what I love to do.

I am an on-location, Toronto based pet photographer, specializing in dog photography.  I also take occasional assignments in South Florida.  My goal is to provide awesome pet images that encompass the joy and love that your dog gives to you and your family, images that bring you so much pleasure when you look at your amazing wall art or page through your custom-designed album.

I am a member of the Toronto Camera Club where I have achieved the level of Master Photographer.

I’ve won awards in pet photography competitions. I’ve also been featured in a number of places. You can check this out for more on awards, articles and TV.


I’m all about giving dogs the healthiest food I can! That means opting for human-grade, lightly cooked meals over kibble. And naturally, this approach wouldn’t be complete without some healthy, irresistible dog treats! So here are some of my favourite, easy to make, dog treats.


Some of my favourite things:

  • Early morning walks on the beach, camera in hand looking for birds and sunrises to photograph.

  • I love photographing wildlife. Check out a small sample of my wildlife photography

  • Travel, of course!

  • Movies - especially good dramas and movies based on true stories

  • Golf (I’m a really terrible player but I love the outdoors and the challenge)

  • Being at my home away from home in sunny Florida


Let’s talk about “giving back”.

By using my photography skills to capture the unique personalities of adoptable pets, I can help these animals find loving homes and improve their chances of being rescued from shelters.
