Origin of Urban Paws Photography
Grace + Matthew
At the Urban Paws and Pals Photography by the PAWtographers, it is truly a family affair. Grace has quite literally grown up in the world of pet portrait and family portrait photography. She has been directly studying under Joan Walker for 15 years. Grace started off as a dog handler then graduated to a lightning assistant and gradually took on every role in the photography business. Grace is now the artist behind the camera for Urban Paws and Pals, specializing in the downtown cityscape and historic cities. She's combined her love for animals and intimate knowledge of historic cities to create timeless family and pet portraits. Grace grew up training and showing dogs and horses. She is no stranger to animals. Grace grew up with Rottweilers and Havanese. She currently owns a House Hippo AKA Pit bull and a mini Golden Doodle.
Matthew, a Marine Veteran turned toddler wrangler, is the magician behind the lights. He works behind-the-scenes to transform images into works of art. He often works to position dogs, light, and entertains the children. Both, Grace and Matthew, have experience with all animals from Havanese to Rottweilers. All breeds, rescued or expertly bred, are welcome at Urban Paws and Pals Photography.
