Jordan Plumb recently moved on from her job in pet food marketing to try her hand at becoming a professional photographer.
Her first paid shoots were in product photography; taking pictures of objects just sitting there. Now, though, Jordan is keen to branch out into taking pictures of things that don’t always sit when you want them to: dogs.
“I think really capturing a dog’s personality is going to be fun,” Jordan said.

Looking for experience and a chance to grow her portfolio, Jordan, a dog owner herself, has decided to offer up free pet portraits to dog owners in her neighborhood.
“It'll be a really good learning experience for me and then people get fun pictures of their dog,” Jordan said. “I think it is a win-win."

Jordan posted on Nextdoor, letting people know she’d be at Precita Park in Bernal Heights one afternoon and anyone was welcome and get a free pet portrait. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Jordan spent two hours on a Wednesday evening in the park taking pictures of a dozen dogs for their grateful owners.
“I figured it would be a really nice way to meet people and get people really nice photos of their dogs,” said Jordan.
