the Snuzzlebutts

Dog Photographer

Hey there, I’m Marissa, and I’m so glad you’re here!


Let me tell you a wee bit about me;

I’m an artist who finds inspiration in the world around me — whether it’s through painting, drawing, or my  passion, photography. My connection with animals runs deep, and as a proud pet parent to two Vizslas, Mango and Peach, I know firsthand the joy and beauty that our pets bring into our lives.


Vizslas are and always will be my heart breed <3

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Marshalls Dog rescue as a foster-fur-mom and hope to rescue many more in the years to come. Supporting local rescues and volunteering with animal rehabilitation centres is a cause I hold dear. Every dog deserves a warm and caring home.



When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a full-time Registered Massage Therapist and Yoga instructor, which helps keep me grounded and connected to nature. I’m also an avid traveler, always seeking new adventures ( and that "perfect shot"), but my love for animals and the outdoors is a constant no matter where I go.



My approach

When it comes to photography, I focus on capturing the true essence of your pet.


My style is fun, artistic, and authentic — aiming to bring out the unique personality of every animal I photograph. Whether it’s the warmth of your dog’s eyes or a playful moment in the park, I want to preserve those precious details in a way that’s as special as your pet is.


My goal isn’t just to give you a fun photograph, but to create artwork you’ll be proud to display on your walls — something that will remind you of your pet’s spirit every time you look at it.


I’ve been photographing dogs for over five years, and it was a natural progression to turn my passion into a business. There’s nothing more rewarding than working with pet owners who cherish their animals, and I’m honoured to help them celebrate their bond through my photography.


Whether your pet is a relaxed companion or a high-energy adventurer, I can’t wait to work with you and capture their true essence in a way that will last a lifetime.

"Snuzzlebutts Photography captured my good side---okay, every side! My Humans say it's the most "me" I've ever looked in a photo. Treats were plentiful, belly rubs were expert level, and now I have my own masterpiece on the wall. 10/10 would BOOP again!
