My name is Shaleena Jones and I am Grande Prairie's dog photographer! I service all of the Peace Region and am more then happy to travel to various locations, so please do not hesitate to ask if you are not local to Grande Prairie.
I have one of the coolest jobs in the world! I get to capture and create stunning artwork for my clients and play with dogs! Its a win win! I have been photographing dogs since 2011 when I started volunteering for a local rescue. Creating clear, bright images of the adoptable dogs made a huge impact on their adoption success. Currently, I work with local rescue organizations and provide the same services. During my volunteering time, I was able to expand my knowledge for our canine companions and become very educated about dog behavior. This experience is so beneficial for helping me work with dogs that are fearful or timid, easily excitable and everything in between. I pride myself on always getting the shot at no expense to the dog. If the session takes longer then scheduled that if completely fine as I always work at the dogs pace. Over the years I have continued my education by attending various workshops, online training, conferences and the good ole fashion one, practice! No matter what industry we work in, furthering our education is so important and valuable. I always say, the day I stop learning is the day I will put down my camera. |
