BADASS DOG PHOTOGRAPHER IN MONTREAL

I am obsessed with creating dynamic, edgy portraits of unique characters being their most weird, wild and wonderful selves

Animals are the best at this which is one of a million reasons why although I am inspired by my past-lives as a magazine art director and concert photographer, I love that I now get to work with pets and the people and brands who love them.

Fun facts about Chantal:

• She played electric guitar in an all girl death metal band

• She has traveled to over 25 countries on 5 continents

• Black is her favorite color

• She hates talking about herself in the 3rd person but she still does it

Because you're not looking for a someone who just pushes a button on a camera…

You love dynamic images & art
You want a photo experience that's unpretentious but still results in mind-blowing images
For art in your home you prefer one-of-a-kind stuff. For artwork of your pet, you want to capture just how uniquely badass they and the bond you share really are.

Chantal’s clients include small businesses, agencies, magazines and organizations. But the majority of her clients are regular people for whom their pets are part of the family.

Chantal is not afraid of getting dirty to get the shot and she can be seen regularly rolling around on the ground (in the mud) to capture the best angle (see image below).

Chantal also volunteers her photography services to shelters and organizations that ensure animal welfare in Montreal (Chiots Nordiques and the Montreal SPCA to name a few). Chantal has special projects each year that help raise funds for animals in need.

She lives in old Montreal with her cat Shirow (adopted from the Montreal SPCA).

Why specialize in lifestyle animal photography?

Following the loss of her dear 16 year old black cat Diablo, she realized the importance of capturing wonderful memories of these little fur balls that occupy such a large place in our lives and our hearts. When she started her photography business in 2015 there weren't many photographers offering this hyper-specialized service in Montreal. Since she had a unique approach coming from a concert and event photography background, she started on this wonderful adventure that is pet portraiture!
