What is "Dogs With Balls!"
"Dogs With Balls" is a photography book project run by Ph2grphy - a pet portrait studio (one of the most awarded and experienced pet portrait studios) for pets only - and known for creating Pet Portraits With Personality™️.
This project is an amazing opportunity to have beautiful, fun and creative portraits of your pet(s) that celebrate their personality, uniqueness - and fur-ever love for balls!

You finally get those important memories created of your faithful friend AND your participation supports SoCal French Bulldog Rescue who works hard to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming French Bulldogs in Southern California.
When the sessions have been completed, I will design and publish a beautiful hard cover coffee table book called "Dogs With Balls!" featuring our favorite photo of your dog(s) alongside some fun facts about them, which will be a treasured keepsake for you and your family, not to mention an important piece of social history about dogs and their love for balls, living in SoCal in 2025.

How long does a session take?
A pet portrait session takes up to 90 minutes. During that time I will take a series of images using studio lighting, against a plain backdrop.
I’ll need your help - or someone who knows your pet well - to handle your pet during the session. Your involvement is important to capture the best moments that truly bring out your pet’s personality. Together, we’ll make it a fun and memorable experience and create portraits you’ll cherish forever!
