Fine Art Dog Photography
Davos Klosters & Graubünden

Moments of joy. Captured in images.

Paw Love

Between mountain light and forest trails, I capture what truly connects you and your dog: quiet gestures, familiar looks, real moments. With my fine art dog photography Davos Klosters, images feel natural yet deep. I work with calm, gentle light and a clear visual language. So your photographs will stand the test of time.

I photograph in Davos Klosters and the surrounding valleys: Prättigau, Engadin, Landquart and Chur; where nature offers the perfect setting for serene, authentic portraits.

Your dog has a story only the two of you know: joy, personality and those small, fleeting details. I preserve them. Alive, authentic and full of heart.

"A touch of magic, a soulful look. Heartfelt moments made visible."

Your companion deserves more than snapshots. Book your personal dog photo session and let’s create lasting memories.

What My Clients Say

An incredible experience

Ute, Lucy & Ruppi

Ruppi is our curious whirlwind. I never thought he’d stop sniffing in the forest to search for photos. But Daniela made it happen. Through her patient, understanding, and humorous way, Ruppi quickly settled down. Daniela recognized his character and captured it authentically in her images. She created a relaxed atmosphere for us as dog owners, too. Thank you for this wonderful afternoon and for these memories that will last forever!

A magical shoot!

Rahel & Virag

From the very beginning, Virag and I felt completely at ease. Daniela’s calm and kind manner allowed her to work so well with my lively dog – everything was relaxed and satisfying. Her ability to capture natural and unstaged moments impressed me. The photos truly reflect my Virag and are full of emotion.

Something for the heart!

Melanie & Ailou

From the start, we felt well taken care of with Daniela. Her professionalism and loving interaction with Ailou impressed us. And we laughed so much. It was a wonderful morning. Daniela perfectly captured my soul dog’s personality. The photos are unforgettable memories for me!

international multi-award-winning photography

I’m truly thrilled that my work has been recognized internationally. Awards aren’t my goal, but they confirm that technique, concept, and my artistic signature come together at an international level. Juries evaluate not only sharpness, timing, and precision, but also composition, lighting, color harmony, originality, and a clear, moving visual narrative.

FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t or don’t want to let my dog off the leash. Is that a problem?

Not at all! Your dog stays safe on the leash. I work with patience and calm so your dog feels comfortable. Some of the most beautiful shots are taken in these moments. I also use small tricks and tools to focus your dog’s attention on the camera.

My dog is lively and loves to sniff around. Will that still work?

Absolutely! With patience and calm, we’ll let your dog settle in at its own pace. The most natural and beautiful shots often happen in those moments. I also use little tricks and tools to focus your dog’s attention without overwhelming it.

What’s expected of my dog?

Nothing more than feeling comfortable and having fun! If your dog knows tricks, we can include them in the shots. But even without tricks, we’ll capture authentic moments and your dog’s unique personality – just as it is.

How long does a photoshoot take?

We’ll take as much time as needed to create great photos. Generally, dogs get tired after about two hours, so it’s important your dog is rested and relaxed before the shooting.

I have a nervous or reactive dog. Can a photoshoot still happen?

Of course! I’m happy to take the time your dog needs to feel comfortable. With patience and a gentle approach, we’ll keep the shoot stress-free. Using my telephoto lens, I can work from a comfortable distance so your dog feels safe. Your dog’s well-being always comes first.

Can I bring someone with me?

Absolutely! A helping hand to hold the leash, offer treats, or get your dog’s attention is always welcome. If you’d like additional people in the photos, let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

When do the shoots take place? And what if the weather is bad?

As a photographer, I love soft light – early in the morning at sunrise or in the late afternoon before sunset. A cloudy sky or fog creates a beautiful atmosphere perfect for capturing stunning images. We’ll avoid harsh sunlight or heavy rain. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll monitor the forecast and decide if rescheduling makes sense.

When will I receive my photos?

After the shoot, I’ll provide a selection gallery where you can calmly choose your favorite images. If you need help selecting, I’ll gladly assist with my trained eye. Once you’ve chosen, I’ll edit your photos with love and attention to detail before sending them to you online.

What does fine art editing mean?

In my work in the Fine Art style, I don’t just create beautiful photographs – I create small, individual works of art. Fine Art editing is an essential part of my creative process. Through carefully chosen tones, lighting, contrast, and retouching, I give each image a distinctive signature – cohesive, emotional, and timeless. For this reason, I only deliver fully edited images. Unedited files (RAWs or unretouched JPGs) are not part of the services I offer.
This is how I ensure that every photo reflects my artistic style – and becomes something you’ll treasure for many years to come.
