Fetch Portraits provided amazing service, as always! It was a return visit for my older dog, but the first time for my puppy. I was very nervous about how she would do, but Jennifer and SantaJeff got amazing photos! Their assistant is top-notch as well. Can't wait to go back for Valentine's Day! read more

My dogs loved them. My sweet untrained 4 leggeds could have been all over the place but they coaxed great pics from them. Everything ran on time. When pics were done my guys were excited but not stressed and they fell fast asleep on the ride home. That bunny was the biggest they ever saw! read more

I wish I could give Fetch Portraits more than just five out of five stars here. Jen and Jeff are a true one in a million find when it comes to wonderful humans who love what they do and it shows. I found Fetch Portraits through a good amount of searching on Yelp. After communicating with a few places and feeling like I wasn't finding a great fit, I spoke with Jen and immediately knew that we found our right fit. Jen was hilarious, welcoming, and really took time to hear about my story with my dog and my dog's personality to carefully think about ideas for good backgrounds for the shoot. There was an email breakdown after our call and communication remained clear throughout when it came to scheduling. Since we chose an outdoor photoshoot, we had to plan on not only sunshine, but other weather conditions that Jen was in communication about that are optimal for pup shoots. Jen and Jeff are true professionals, they came ready to go and left no trick behind to get some AMAZING shots for our summer photo shoot in Olive Park. We couldn't have asked for anything better. My dog is pretty relaxed, but sometimes doesn't respond to command cues and they worked their magic to establish some incredible moments. They made the day so easygoing and I was not nearly as worried as I thought I would be. Their prices for everything were beyond fair for the amount of work they put into the editing, travel, etc. In fact, I loved their photos so much that I have returned for their Halloween (or Howl-oween!!) and Christmas shoot. The sets they make for the holiday/theme shoots are INCREDIBLE and the attention to detail is something that adds such a layer of uniqueness to the experience. It's never the same :) It's quite rare to find such wonderful quality people as Jen and Jeff. Their work is top notch and I am so thankful they helped celebrate and capture the magic that is my dog Moira. You can tell Jen and Jeff care about making each experience so much fun and they care about each pet they encounter. Like I said, it's rare to find people like them these days. They truly care about you and your pets. Don't miss out on the experience with them :) read more

I was lucky to find Fetch Portraits 4yrs ago when I first moved to Chicago! One of their Christmas photos was posted in a corgi group I'm in and I immediately signed up. London and I have done several shoots over the years with Jennifer and the Fetch team, and we have loved every photo and every interaction. Not only are they amazing photographs, they are the kindest humans. I highly recommend booking with Fetch Portraits!! read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience as a cat owner. My cat loved the private boutique session and the pictures came out beautifully!!!!! 10/10 customer service despite all of the mistakes I caused by simply not reading the process correctly, and the owner still took so much time with me to make sure I was understanding. As a cat owner, and someone who did this for the first time, I wholeheartedly recommend Fetch Portraits! read more

Fetch Portraits - Halloween set - Pet Photography Near Me

I brought my pup to a Halloween Photoshoot for a holiday pop up session that was happening around select Krisers and a a couple of other local establishments. I booked my mini session for the Kildeer Krisers location and the process itself was very easy- just selected my session based on date and where they would be set up. The session itself was an affordable $35-a fraction of their full, private and customized sessions. I had to take the offer- clearly. A bonus is that you get a free print of 5X7 size which you just have to cover shipping cost. The photo shoot took no more than 5 minutes...just be sure to let them know if there's at least a few good ones that you love before leaving. The photographer was great in knowing just how to capture my pups "best side" which let's be honest, all sides are the best of my Good Boy! When the time comes to order (they upload within a couple days time) you will receive via email a link of untouched originals. Once you order they will clean up the picture -crop, photoshop the leash out, etc. Keep in mind you can order prints and or digital copies. Each photo/image is priced individually. Also, the link will have all the photos taken at that particular location and date so you may very well be subjected an overload of cuteness while searching for your beloved pup, cat, other family member, etc. You've been officially warned! That's about it! Easy process. Oh and I've been told that Fetch does all kinds holiday themed shoots and of course does private shoots as well. Overall I am very happy with how my pups photo turned out. I have been showing off my puppers for a couple weeks now :) Thank you! read more

My little guy didn't want to cooperate at all but everyone had so much patience with him and didn't make me feel like he was a problem. The set was so pretty. Jennifer went out of her way to take lots of shots. Can't wait to see the finished products! read more

Jennifer and Jeff with Fetch Portraits are amazing. They are wonderful with my babies and always get some incredible shots. Jennifer is a fantastic photographer. Mickey is an easy subject for her because he always poses. But my boy Tigger never stops moving and she always manages to get some great shots of him, either in action or looking as if he had posed. Jeff goes the extra mile to help keep the boys posed, in position and entertained. I just cannot say enough about these friendly, caring people. Their sets are always creative and the effort they put into them is incredible. I highly recommend Fetch Portraits. They are the best pet photographers around! And a special shout out to Jamie, who's always there helping out and giving extra attention to my boys. read more

Amazing experience! Our girls are both rescues, but Jennifer and team navigated their fear/anxiety expertly and with compassion. And the photos are adorable! read more

We were thrilled with the Santa photoshoot and SO pleased with our photos! Jennifer is a great communicator and takes amazing photos! The set was more than I could have imagined and Santa was patient. We couldn't have had a better experience for our first family photoshoot with our good boy, Benny. Everything about it was truly wonderful! We cannot thank Jennifer for also accommodating us and squeezing us into the session. Truly appreciative and we are excited for the next one! read more

Jennifer and Jeff set the standard for pet photographers! We weren't sure what to expect, never having used one before, but we had high hopes as we were taking photos with our two pups, Appa and Milo, for our engagement pictures. Jennifer and Jeff started by putting my fiancee and me at ease. They laid out the entire plan upfront but then tweaked it as we went along depending on how the dogs were behaving or other factors changed. The pictures came out great! Then they took the extra step of photoshopping out leashes, blemishes and unwanted figures in the background FOR FREE! The turnaround time was quick, as well! We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend! read more

Adorable backdrops/props. Can't get any cuter for any holiday. Happy and outgoing staff. Definitely recommend for your pets photographs.

Jennifer is always pawsome with our pups. Getting both of my dogs to sit still for a photo is a miracle and she always has such a great turn around time for how fast she gets you your photos. We have done two different Holiday pop up shoots for our dogs and both sets were absolutely adorable and thought out. read more

We did a holiday photoshoot recently and will definitely be signing up to use them when the weather gets nicer for a cute group photo. Super sweet about us having FOUR dogs (cause we are crazy like that!) and made them look cute. We have only seen our proof, but it is a great photo and we can't wait to get it to the grandmas for the holidays! Thanks Fetch Portraits! read more

LOVE Fetch Portraits! We've been using them for photos of our dog since 2012. Jennifer and her husband are the kindest souls. And they are so good with the dogs and are great photographers. They can get any dog to pose by using innovative and smart tricks to get the dogs to look at the camera. HIGHLY recommend Fetch Portraits! Jennifer and her husband always produce the best photos. And the photos are such great keepsakes for the holidays whether it's Halloween or Christmas or Easter or even a personal photoshoot! read more

Jennifer and Jeff are fantastic. They have the best designed sets and take the time to really capture the pups. I have been using Fetch Portraits for many years (Christmas, Easter, Valentines, Halloween) and everything they do its so creative and fun. I would highly recommend Fetch Portraits if you are looking for an amazing experience. read more

This photographer is AMAZING! She is such an artist and makes any photo shoot seem super easy and relaxing with amazing results. We have had several photos taken by Jennifer and have been so pleased. She knows how to change the expression on our bullmastiff by her tricks of the trade that still astound me...it's not like photographing humans..anyone can do that...now photographing a 135lb bullmastiff and getting him to sit on a small sofa next to a giant Easter Bunny and then to get him to just cock his head in that certain way is just amazing. She is not only a great photographer but she is really great on the biz side..quick turnaround and response. Two thumbs up from this guy. read more

Fetch Portraits - A picture of my 6 month old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy taken by Fetch Portraits - Pet Photography Near Me

I love this photographer and her work. Since shortly after the birth of my son in 2015, I have been using Fetch Portraits to get holiday pictures. For my husband and I, our dog, Enzo, is our first baby. We like to have him included in all family pictures. When the holidays roll around, its difficult to find a photographer that will accommodate our dog as well. Jennifer was gracious enough to allow our son to be in all the holiday pictures we've taken, and these keepsakes are fantastic. Family and friends rave about the pictures we have received. We have gotten Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter pictures though Fetch, and I've loved each and every one. Excellent quality! Excellent backgrounds! I'm always excited when I receive an email about her upcoming shoots! I highly recommend this company to those that want a beautiful picture of their furry family members! Breanne Nikkel read more

From the moment I contact her, Jennifer impressed me. Her communication and patience with all my questions was exceptional. She took beautiful pictures of my yorkie, and they will provide such special memories for me. She was able to capture the attention of my puppy when taking the pictures, and she took her time to provide a variety of shots. Her Valentine photo shoot was my first session, but I am already eagerly anticipating the next time I can work with her. I love her flexibility and creativity. The only tough part was choosing between all the great pictures she took. read more

We had our first experience with Jennifer and Jeff at Mau's House for Halloween. Skylor (our little Cujo) and Wall-E will never stand next to each but, somehow, Jennifer and Jeff managed to do it. We were so pleased with the results that we had Christmas photos taken. Can't wait to see the results. read more

Amazing!! I've gone two years in a row and will forever come with my pup to get Holiday photos. The team is fantastic and great with animals. My photos come out fantastic. You will not regret using Jen and her team. read more

We had our dog's Easter portrait done by Fetch and absolutely loved it!! It was our first time working with this company and it was a great experience!! We will absolutely be using this company again! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Jennifer. First of all, she was very responsive and efficient in scheduling a time to meet. I initially was going to wait to have puppy photos taken as I did not believe anybody would be able to get Bryce, our lively Vizsla pup, to sit long enough for a shoot. Jennifer and her husband worked together (patiently) to not only get many amazing shots of Bryce (both posed indoor and outdoor action), but truly captured the essence of Bryce in his facial expressions. Would give more than five stars if I could. Can't wait for our next photo shoot this summer! read more

Fetch Portraits - Bryce, my lively three month old Vizsla pup - Pet Photography Near Me

I couldn't recommend Fetch Portraits and Jennifer more!! I'm newer to the area (as a military spouse), and ecstatic I found out about Fetch Portraits! I am a photographer as well (commercial, real estate and event) therefore I'm pretty picky with my portraits that I have done of my dogs and myself. Fetch Portraits was a wonderful find! The price is amazing and the photos really are one of a kind! read more

We've had countless photo sessions with Fetch Portraits over the years and could not be happier with them. They create one of kind sets and photo opportunities that no other photographer I've seen has come even close to the level of creativity and thought put into these. Not only that, but Jennifer and Jeff treat you and your furry loved ones as their own family. On top of it all, they even find ways to combine their love for photography and pets with different ways to help animals in need. When it comes to capturing those special moments with your furbabies that you'll cherish forever, I will always choose Fetch Portraits! read more

I am obsessed with Fetch Portraits. I've never seen photographers do a better job and have more creative ways to get a dog's attention and capture the perfect moment. Not only does Fetch Portraits produce amazing photos, they also provide unmatched customer service. The turnaround on orders is very quick and Jennifer is always super responsive. The owners are super nice and personable, and very obviously sincere animals lovers who generously use their skills to help out pet rescue organizations. I would recommend Fetch Portraits for anyone with any excuse to get pet photos (or those of us who don't need an excuse to get pet photos)! read more

Jennifer is amazingly responsive and puts the customer's needs above all. She is extremely passionate about her work, and it shows in her beautiful portfolio. If you want to feel taken care of, Jennifer will do that and more. Highly recommended! Ramon and Drew read more

I had a mini photo shoot with the Easter Bunny through Fetch. Jennifer and the Easter Bunny-clad Jeff were absolutely great with my wiggly pooch and were very patient and helpful, making sure to get the right shots and capture the cutest moments. Turnaround time on the pictures (offered at great prices!) was super-fast. I'll definitely look for more photo shoots with them! read more

I recently took my dog for the Easter and Christmas photo shoots. The pictures turned out amazing!!!! I was impressed with Jennifer's ability to keep my dogs attention. She got so many good pictures in such a short time frame! I loved them and they were a big hit!! I would highly recommend Fetch Portraits!! read more

Jennifer is one word: AMAZING! We first encountered her when taking holiday photos at our local Kriser's and we loved the picture so much, that we went back to every holiday photo shoot after that (Halloween, Christmas, Easter) and had her take pictures of our two dogs. Then we wanted to do a mother's day photo shoot with the whole family (hubby, myself, two dogs and my 18mon old daughter) when i became ill and could not make the shoot. Jennifer went above and beyond at this point-- she could have simply said, sorry, you missed your session, but she did not. She was incredibly flexible and we found another day, time and location (we ended up upgrading our package to for a longer photo session in order to commemorate our stay in Chicago) and we had such a fun photo session with her and her husband who helps with the shoots. We ended up with several amazing photos that we have gotten NUMEROUS compliments on from family and friends! Could not recommend her more! Personable, professional, talented, and able to get puppies and babies alike to look at the camera for some great photos! Wish we were still in Chicago-- she would be our dedicated family "fur"tographer! read more
