Pet Photography that Gets It
Ride the Sky Equine Photography isn’t just about horses (though let’s be real, they’re our first love). When our Ride the Sky Horse Girls started saying, “Hey, can you photograph my dog too?” we caved faster than a Labrador at the sound of kibble hitting a bowl. Because honestly, who can resist those puppy-dog eyes—or yours?
We get it. Pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, coworkers, and sometimes life coaches. (Looking at you, Nitro, our in-house “assistant” who works hard for tummy rubs and snack breaks.)
Whether your furry BFF is a couch potato, a zoomie enthusiast, or the Lord of Chaos, we’re here to capture their quirks, charm, and everything that makes them the MVP of your household.
If you’re a pet lover in Chattanooga or the surrounding areas of East Tennessee and North Georgia, you’ve found your match. Let’s create something that turns the chaos and cuddles into timeless art.
For the Pets Who Run the Show
(And Know It)
Your pet is your soulmate. They’re why you smile every day… and occasionally the reason you muttle things that can’t be repeated in polite company (usually right after they chew something they definitely shouldn’t have).
They’re why you drag yourself out of bed every morning—probably because they’re loudly demanding breakfast like they own the place. And let’s face it, they kinda do. They’re your therapist, and the boss of your schedule (usually around mealtime).
Whether you’re hitting the trails, lounging on the couch, or attempting to use the bathroom solo (ha, as if), your pet is right there, being your bestie, your shadow, and your biggest fan all rolled into one.
We get it—the obsession is real. From snoozy cuddle bugs to hyper zoomie kings, and even the wise, soulful eyes of a senior dog, we celebrate pets in all their lovable, chaotic glory. These portraits aren’t just for you—they’re a tribute to the love, laughter, and, yes, even occasional destruction your pet brings into your world.
If you’re ready to turn those everyday moments into artwork that celebrates your pet’s one-of-a-kind story, this session is calling your name. Because let’s face it, your pet deserves more than a blurry phone pic.
Because No One Gets You Like Your Pet Does
Let’s be real: having a pet is kind of bizarre when you think about it. You don’t speak the same language, yet you’ve somehow mastered the art of silent communication with a wag, a purr, or an exaggerated sigh. They follow you to the bathroom like it’s a group activity, you bond by rubbing each other (okay, petting, but still), and they act like you’ve been gone for a month when you come back from the mailbox.
And don’t even get me started on the guilt trips. Step on their tail—because they oh-so-conveniently parked it right under your foot—and suddenly you’re groveling for forgiveness like you’re auditioning for a soap opera.
But here’s the thing: you wouldn’t trade that furry little weirdo for anything in the world. No one else understands you quite like they do.
Your pet is your partner in crime, your snack buddy, and the reason you find pet hair in places previously unimaginable. From the first tail wag or meow to the bittersweet goodbye (and every tail-thumping, face-licking, snuggle-filled moment in between), their story deserves to be celebrated.
Let’s turn the epic love story of you and your pet into something beautiful, unforgettable, and uniquely yours. Because no one else gets you like they do.
The Ride the Sky Pet Portrait Experience
(Turning Your Pet Into The Icon They Are)
Let’s be honest—your pet deserves the star treatment. At Ride the Sky, we’re here to make sure your pet’s portraits are as fabulous as they are (and yes, that’s a high bar). From dreaming up your session to creating jaw-dropping wall art that captures every ounce of their charm, we make the process as fun as it is memorable.
Here’s how we make the magic happen:
Step 1: Book It
Because Greatness Deserves a Calendar Date
Want to snag your spot on the Ride the Sky calendar? All it takes is a $400 non-refundable retainer fee, with $300 of that turning into a print credit toward your artwork. Think of it as reserving your pet’s place in history. You know they deserve it.
Step 2: Creative Consult
Planning the Perfect Day for your Star
This is where we roll up our sleeves and get to know your pet (and you, of course). During the consult, we’ll answer all your questions, plan the details of your session, and make sure your Welcome Kit is put to good use. Let’s figure out how to make your pet’s personality shine—whether they’re a couch potato, a frisbee fanatic, or the Lord of Chaos.
Step 3: Portrait Session
Your Pet’s Time to Shine…and Snack
The spotlight is on your pet, and trust us, they’re going to rock it. With an endless supply of sweet talk, noisemakers, and a treat buffet that would make a Michelin-starred chef jealous, we’ll capture their true essence. If your pet’s not having fun, no one is, so we make sure every session is as relaxed and playful as they are. Bonus: you’ll forget there’s even a camera in the room.
Step 4: Design Consult
Turning Pet Personality into Wall-Worthy Art
Here’s where the magic gets tangible. You’ll see your pet’s portraits come to life as we design your artwork together. Whether you’re after a custom wall piece, a stunning album, or something else entirely, we’ll make sure it fits your style, your space, and your budget. No cookie-cutter options here—just art that’s as one-of-a-kind as your best furry friend.
