About Suzanne Pallottelli

After a career in high tech, I decided to follow my dream and start a dog photography business.

I love spending time with dogs and their owners to capture special memories that will last forever.

Join me for a shoot and we will have fun and be relaxed and spontaneous..
-
Santa Cruz beaches and parks are great locations for photoshoots.

I'm passionate about all dogs having homes, so 20% of all profits go to shelters and rescue organizations.
Occasionally, I have wonderful assistants!
How it Started
My father was a photojournalist for an Italian news magazine, so I was raised around photography. Thanks to my dad, photography has always been a part of my life and something I love more and more.
How about dogs? I was about five years old in this photo with my first family dog, Nero. I loved him so much, I knew I would always want dogs in my life.
The concept that there are so many dogs in shelters, always made me sad. I have adopted two rescues. I want this business to be part of helping more dogs!
