​THE PROCESS

​My goal is to capture portraits of your fur friend that showcase your pet’s loveable 'quirks' and one of a kind personality.  Creating a relaxed and fun environment, allowing for plenty of time and offering sessions in studio or on location at your pet's favorite trail, rocky shore, or couch.  You will get to choose your favorite images and create stunning folios or wall art that will bring a smile to your face and warm your heart for years to come.

About Kim yanick portraits

If you have had pets you realize each one has a distinct personality, and, tragically, their time with us is short.  Portraits of your cherished friend is one way to keep their memory alive.  It allows you time travel, so to speak, to moments of joy and laughter with your pet.  

​Hi there, my name is Kim and I confess I have been animal crazy since I can remember - dogs, cats, hamsters, rats and even snakes. Our house was always alive with pets of sorts.Not surprising that I enjoy working with pets so much. I remember when I was 5 years old and I had a best fur friend, a red tabby, he was not the friendliest but he was my best friend.  My mom had booked a portrait session for us and I recall a moment during the session that I wanted him included. So I picked him up and we continued on taking photographs. It’s funny, whenever I look at that portrait it brings me right back to my childhood memories around that age and my best fur friend.
