Wild Talons Photography

 

Welcome My name is Ruth, and I am passionate about creating beautiful, timeless portraits of all creatures great and small.

​

Pet Portraits 

I offer heartfelt photography experiences that reflect the personality of your cherished pet. Whether we’re deep in the forest, by the gentle waves of the beach, or in the calm of my studio, every setting is chosen with care.

​

Pets with their families are a specialty of mine, capturing the quiet bond between people and animals. It’s more than just the final images — it’s about playful moments, genuine connection, and memories made during the session itself.

Agility & Events

I also photograph dog agility, horse competitions, and pet-friendly events, celebrating the energy, skill, and joy of animals in motion.

Creative Photography Tutoring & Mentoring 

​

Have a new camera and want to get the most out of it? Looking for a new hobby that will get you out of the house and make new friends?  Let me show you how to get off auto mode and unleash your creativity!

 

After more than 20 years as a clinical educator in the occupational therapy field, it felt like a natural progression to begin offering photography tutoring as well. I’ve spent decades learning how to support others in building skills, confidence, and joy in what they do— and now I bring that same energy and care to my photography lessions. I get a real buzz seeing others succeed; it truly fills my cup! 

​

I’m trained in how to scaffold knowledge, coach effectively, and provide constructive feedback in a psychologically safe way.  Click here to explore my photography tutoring and mentoring options tailored to your goals.
