Meet the Photographer

​I am Arlene Cruz, a North Jersey photographer specializing in pet photography. For over 20 years, I have embarked on an amazing journey dedicated to capturing the essence of beloved pets in all their furry glory.

I am proud to say that I am an affiliate photographer with the Tilly Project. The Tilly Project is an international 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to connect pet owners with end-of-life pet photographers across the world.​ We understand this time can be difficult, and we're currently offering discounted sessions.

I also volunteer for a local North Jersey rescue -  A Pathway to Hope, www.apathwaytohope.org/, is a non-profit organization in North Jersey focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and adopting abandoned dogs and cats. Getting a quality photo of a pet when they first arrive at a shelter is often nearly impossible. The animal may feel nervous, scared, and unsure of their surroundings, and my goal is to help the pet relax while taking a professional photo that captures its personality.

We want to make sure both you and your pet are as comfortable as possible,

and we will work with you from planning the location to helping with image selection to providing options for prints. Gift Cards are available.
