Hello!

I'm James Kittendorf and I really am a professional dog photographer! I have a passion for capturing the unique personality and spirit of dogs through my lens. I’m currently based in Chicago and I’ve been a photographer for over a decade.

Growing up in Northern Michigan, I developed a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature and the bond between humans and animals. My love for dogs started when I was a little kid and has only grown stronger over the years. I am lucky to share my life with my loyal companion, Chauncey, a pit bull who inspires me daily with his goofy, playful and loving nature.

My photography style is based entirely on on-location shoots, where I work to capture the unique personalities of each dog in a natural environment. My focus is solely on the animal, with no human element to the portraits. I strive to capture the essence of each dog's character, expressions, and movements that make them unique.

As a dog owner and lover, I understand the bond that exists between dogs and their owners. I am commissioned to capture portraits that depict the true spirit and personality of the dog, that our clients can display as fine art and treasure for a lifetime.

Thank you for visiting Double Dog Photo. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your furry best friend!
