I'm Samara Iodice of See Spot Pose, a professional pet photographer serving Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles County, and offering custom pet portraits, commercial pet photography, and a line of rescue dog greeting cards, calendars, and more. If you're like me, your pets are your family and your life revolves around them. Even so, that doesn't guarantee you'll capture the best photos of your pet.
There's so much that goes into freezing that perfect pet moment in time - including technical considerations that help avoid such photo-wrecking occurrences as "devil eye." You've likely seen this one before. It's that ugly green, red, or yellowish cloud that appears in your pet's eyes when you've snapped a flash photograph. Wouldn't it be nice to have a portrait of your beloved pet that captures his or her true likeness, without blurred movement or "devil eye"?
That's where a professional pet photographer can help. People always ask me, "How do you keep them still?" Well, to be frank, the answer is, "I don't!"

I started my career as an engineer with an eye for photography, and now I'm a photographer, with a keen awareness of engineering.
Strangely these right and left brain activities have an interesting and practical convergence.
Together they inspire every pixel of every image that is formed within my camera.
Although I formally studied engineering, photography is something I picked up on my own over many years of experimentation.
Photographing animals came natural to me, as I have a genuine interest in observing their habits and antics.

The hallmarks of my studio portraits are rich textures and elegant accessories, inspired by the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Neck ties, bowties, decorative chokers, and harness vests are just some of the adornments you'll see in my photos.
My eco-friendly dog harness, an organic vest that is free of uncomfortable straps, has a handy pocket to hold your credit cards, keys, and even your phone.
The harness is custom made, to your specifications, in a variety of colors and fun trims.
You can even select your own applique design to add your dog's signature style and personality to the vest.
