About Us
About Your Photographer
My name is Teiana and I am the owner of The Pointy Dog Photography. I grew up in New Hampshire my whole life and have always worked with animals. I started my passion for photography at a young age photographing my mother showing our horses at local fairs. As I grew older I always looked for any chance to be with animals and learn more about them. In high school I was a member of the Seacoast School Of Technology chapter of the Future Farmers Of America. I then went forward and worked in the veterinary medicine industry and equine care while completing my degree at SNHU for digital photography. Together I combine my experience with animals and passion for photography to provide safe and comfortable sessions for both owners and their beloved pets. I currently have a rescue cat named Egg, a rescue border collie mix Reba, the pointy dog himself Marty and some chickens. When I am not taking photos I am spending time with my daughter and dock diving with Seacoast Dock Dogs!
About the Pointy Dog
Marty is my border collie, and first dog, that I welcomed home as I was finishing off my degree for photography. His silly personality and never ending willingness to please me quickly became a huge motivation to keep pushing through school. Many nights I would want to give up on my work and would look down from my desk and see his pointy little snout nudging me for attention. These breaks to play and train with him helped give me the mental breaks I needed with school and in life. Now that school is done Marty often helps me scout new locations for clients and compete in dog sports.
Why Pet Photography?
When I was younger one of my favorite things to do was to take the many bins of photo prints my mom kept in her closet and look at every single image. There was photos of our first house, my sister and I as babies and birthday parties. All major milestones in our lives. Each and every one of those images included our dog, cat or horses. They were just as much as a part of those moments as we were. Later in life and years of working in horse barns, vet clinics and fostering for a local non-profit cat rescue I saw the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Many times I was left questioning why things happen, why good dogs get sick and wondering how to capture the good times for others so they could find the same happiness in those memories as I do. We go through and document many stages in our lives and our pets are always right there with us supporting us and I want to help put them in the spotlight they deserve.
