Welcome to Windhound Photography

How will your dog tell their story?

I know your pet’s story is ah-mazing! I’m here to help them tell the world how special they truly are.

If you want crystal clear images to capture your dog’s life story and send your heart aflutter, then read on.

The Windhound Difference

Hi! I’m Barb Hays, a Norfolk-based “pets and their people” photographer. Animals are my passion and pet photography is my full-time profession. Capturing your furry friend and the bond you share is my mission.

No obedience titles required. The dogs you see on my site aren’t professional models. They’re family members, just like your dog and mine. Your pup stays safely on-leash during our adventure.

We’ll craft a session so you and your bestie have a day you’ll both thoroughly enjoy.

Belly rubs and tasty treats included!  —Perks available only to the dog…not you.

Your best pal means the world to you. I get it. Let’s remember it.

Images you’re gonna’ drool over.

Here’s how to do it in 4 simple steps.

Get in touch to brag about your furry friend (or friends!)

Schedule a session for your too-cool-for-obedience-school buddy.

Picture Day! All fun. Zero stress. The best-day-ever.

Pick your favorite pics at your purchasing session.
