Austin Pet Photography and Austin Family Photography
I'm an Austin based pet and family photographer who loves the outdoors, telling stories, meeting new people, petting all the dogs and capturing as many singular moments as I can.
All of the photos you see here represent lives and stories that I am both proud and grateful to have been a part of.
My photography work focuses on pets and families . . . and when possible, the interaction between the two. I work with families of all types, pets of all types, people of all types . . . the relationships that make up your life. All of my sessions are customizable based on the needs of your family and/or your pet. While my photo work is primarily based in and around Austin, Texas, I am willing to travel anywhere to be a part of your journey.
When I am not photographing clients, much of my time is spent working with animal rescue organizations and shelters to promote their animals . . . telling their stories. I have experience working with disaster relief, animals of all types, community outreach and veterinary services.
I look forward to knowing you. All of my sessions are priced as a flat fee and include high resolution digital files. Please reach out for pricing information, if you have any questions or if you're interested in booking a session - sjurgensen@gmail.com.
End of Life Pet Photography
I do offer end of life pet photo services - either in the days preceding euthanasia or the euthanasia itself. Having lost three beloved dogs in the last five years, I find this time to be beautiful and vulnerable - and worth capturing. I believe in honoring all parts of of the journey we take with our pets - including the end. If this is something that you may be interested in, please reach out. I offer a discounted rate (or, if cost is an issue, a pay what you can option) for people looking to capture a few final moments with their pets. This work is profoundly meaningful to me - it would be my honor to bear witness to the end of a well lived, well loved life.
I am a listed photographer with The Tilly Project - a nation wide network of end of life pet photographers and pet loss resources.
