Elevated, artistic pet portraits

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THEIR PETS LIKE FAMILY

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

Because you want more than just a photograph

At Shuttermutt Photo, we believe pets are family—and their stories deserve to be preserved as timeless, soulful works of art. In our private Los Angeles studio, we’ll guide you through a heartfelt portrait experience that feels easy and personal from start to finish.

Whether it’s capturing the essence of just your pet or your whole family together, this is portraiture rooted in love, legacy, and quiet storytelling.

Ready to tell your own pet’s story?

This Wasn’t Just Photography

“…It was artistry paired with compassion…If you’re looking for a pet photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your pet’s unique spirit, look no further. I’ll cherish these photos forever.”

KRISTEN, MOM TO TWO RESCUE DOGS

Hi! We’re Adam & Laura Claus

THE ARTISTS BEHIND THE LENS

— the husband-wife team behind Shuttermutt Photo. With a shared love of animals, plus backgrounds in the arts and education, we bring a thoughtful, easygoing energy to every portrait session. For us, creating artwork of your pet is a true blend of artistry and heart, not to mention a lot of fun!

Our work is deeply personal, rooted in the belief that the bond with your dog, cat, or bird (any animal, really!) deserves to be told beautifully and joyfully with jaw-dropping artwork. We’d love to welcome your family into our studio, capturing your story through photographs as it becomes a small part of ours.

So, how does this work?

The photos turned out beautifully

—more than we could’ve hoped for—and now we have these timeless images of Griff that we’ll treasure forever. Can’t recommend them highly enough. They are the best at what they do.

DID YOU KNOW THAT

98% of photos never leave your phone?

It requires time, creativity, and energy to do something with them, and most of us simply don’t have much of those.

That’s why we created Shuttermutt Photo— so you have physical memories to celebrate your pet now and honor them when they’re gone. Maybe it’s custom wall art that starts “Remember when…” conversations over dinner. Or a handcrafted album, ready for gliding a finger over every funny face and whisker.

Whatever it is, leave the work to us. We’ll help design the best possible pieces for your home and lifestyle, all with timeless portraits of your best friend.
