About The Photographyer

Hello, my name is Angela Nicole and I’m the artist behind Pooch Smooch Photography. I have always had two loves in life, photography and animals. I have been lucky to find a way to combine my two passions.

From 1996-1998, I attended the Art Institute of Philadelphia where I studied photography. I graduated with honors and began my career. It did not take long to realize I was happiest photographing animals.

Since beginning Pooch Smooch, I have had the pleasure of working with some very wonderful models and their people. I have been published in several magazines and my photography is featured in the book “Big Picture” written by the amazing dog-training group Tall Tails.

I’m often asked how I get great photos of the animals. I look at each new subject with patience and the understanding that we will both be learning something new from the experience. I always try to make the experience as unstressful as possible for all involved. Timing and understanding have a lot to do with the images I capture. I’m always up to the challenge of photographing an animal that the owners think will never sit still long enough. You will be amazed at what we can end up with. It is about finding the right motivation and patience.

I hope you have enjoyed the gallery. I look forward to making a wonderful photograph of your furry, scaly, or feathered family member.
