Bridging the Gap

At Licked! Pet Photography, we’re all about celebrating every pet—whether they’re waiting for a forever home or already surrounded by love. Our goal is to use the power of photography to shine a light on the incredible personalities of shelter and rescue animals, helping them find their perfect match.

Through our lens, we hope to spark connection and inspire a deeper appreciation for all animals. With the support of amazing sponsors, we’re on a mission to make a real difference, one stunning image at a time.

Interested in Sponsorship?

By sponsoring adoption photos, you become a driving force in boosting the visibility of animals in need. Your support goes beyond covering the costs of professional photography—it amplifies these animals' chances of finding their forever homes. With your help, we're creating a sense of community and sharing powerful stories that connect animals with loving families. Together, we turn each photo into a stepping stone toward a life-changing journey for both the animals and their new families.

Sponsorship options are flexible—whether you'd like to support a specific organization, or back our mission as a whole. Each week, we photograph animals in need 2-3 days, with the remaining time focused on the crucial behind-the-scenes work—editing photos, creating social media content, and ensuring these animals connect with potential adopters. When possible, we also take long-term shelter residents out for a special day of fun and photos, capturing their true personalities away from the shelter to show potential adopters the sweet side that's hard to see in their everyday environment. This extra time and attention can be transformative, helping them finally get the notice they deserve.

While our primary focus is on professional photography, your sponsorship also supports our future plans to expand our impact through video. We aim to include vlog-style documentary footage and additional video content to share across platforms, helping us reach an even wider audience and further our mission of educating the public about the importance of adoption and animal welfare. Our goal is to never have to turn down a request within our region, and your support makes this possible.

If you love our message and mission and want to support us in a more personal way, join us on Patreon where you can offer support at any level that suits you. Whether you want to contribute a little or a lot, every bit helps us continue our mission of bringing joy and visibility to adoptable animals while advocating for their welfare. There is also a PayPal button below. 

In addition, we’re working on a storefront where 100% of the proceeds will go directly back to the organization. This means every purchase you make will directly benefit the animals we serve. Together, we can create a lasting impact and a brighter future for these amazing animals!

We are excited about the new direction for Licked! Pet Photography and can't wait to engage more with the community moving forward!

A photo is worth a thousand words, and truly makes a difference in these animals' lives, but don’t just take our word for it—see what those who have experienced the magic firsthand have to say!

"Your photos have helped. Our dogs are flying out this week."

"Someone that saw your post about Onyx today is coming in tomorrow to foster him ❤️❤️"

"Licked! Pet Photography works miracles! Blake's photos found him the PERFECT home in the northeast. After 315 days in a shelter and 68 in foster, his life changed with one share. Blake is now living the pool life, thanks to Licked! Pet Photography. Highly recommend for transforming pets' lives!"

"Licked Pet Photography, thank you so much! Your pictures made me seek him out and make him mine, and I’m forever grateful! I’m the happiest person ever. As a retiree, we’re together all the time, and I feel like I won the lottery! ❤️❤️❤️"

I don’t work in the trenches, and I don’t claim to—honestly, I know I couldn’t do it. But what I can do is contribute to second chances in my own way. Through photography, I help animals stand out, connect with adopters, and get the visibility they deserve. It’s my way of contributing to the incredible work that shelters and rescues do every day. These people are the true heroes!💖
