I recently had the absolute pleasure of photographing a branding session for Crown Jewel K9, a professional dog training business based in Clemmons, NC. We met up at the beautiful Tanglewood Park for this session, which turned out to be the perfect location to capture natural, joyful moments between the trainer and her amazing dog, Ziva.

We started the session with a few portraits — both professional and relaxed — showcasing the warm, approachable energy the trainer brings to her business. It was so easy to see how deeply she cares about the dogs she works with, and Ziva clearly adores her.

From there, we moved into some fun action shots. Ziva was full of personality — running, playing tug, and showing off her tricks. These playful images are a fantastic way to reflect not only the trainer’s skill and relationship with her dog, but also how engaging and positive her training style is.

Branding sessions like this are about more than headshots — they’re about telling a story. And this one tells the story of trust, connection, and expert guidance. Whether you're a dog owner in the Clemmons or Winston-Salem area looking for support with your pup, or a fellow business owner thinking about refreshing your own brand imagery, sessions like this are such a powerful way to visually connect with your audience.
