ABOUT JOY D’ARGENT
YOUR OUTDOOR DOG PHOTOGRAPHER
At Pup Tent Photography, you're not just working with a photographer—you’re working with a zoologist, professional artist, and lifelong dog lover. My background in zoology means I have a deep understanding of animal behavior, allowing me to connect with your dog in a way that goes beyond the surface. I capture the unique quirks, personality, and spirit of your dog because I truly know how to engage with them in outdoor environments.
I help you see your dog as a part of the natural environment - not just in it.
An Artistic Vision of Dog Photography
As an artist, I see every session as an opportunity to create something vivid and unforgettable. Each photo isn’t just a snapshot; it's a work of art that reflects both your dog’s personality and connections to nature. My technical skills as a photographer ensure that every shot is carefully composed, detailed, and polished. Technique and a unique artistic vision creates something special for your dog’s images which can’t be realized anywhere else.
This combination of skills sets me apart—giving you not just photos, but lasting art pieces filled with life and emotion. That’s the Pup Tent Photography difference.
DOG PHOTOGRAPHY IN ALL FOUR SEASONS
Your dog has a favorite season and so do you! As we begin to chat about your ultimate dog photography session, we select whether you’d like fall leaves, winter brightness, spring flowers or summer heat. I’m here for you in fall, winter, spring and summer. The location choice is up to you and I always have recommendations.
DOGS AS WILDLIFE
Years ago, I came up with a concept of showing off our dogs as wildlife art. It started with a love of limited-edition prints by Glen Loates, Carl Brenders and Robert Bateman. Wouldn’t it be great if I could photograph dogs as they experience the outdoors? This journey has guided me to a style of dog photography that is nature-focused and heartwarming at the same time.
A bit More about Me..
When I’m not photographing client’s dogs, I’m enjoying the outdoors by hiking, location scouting and enjoying what nature teaches me on every single adventure. My pomskies Parka and Pongo are almost always with me! (Parka has had his own Facebook and Instagram account @parkathepomsky for several years, and he’s always been my muse.)
I’m also a free diver! Diving with dolphins in the Bahamas has been incredible. Sea turtles feel like my kindred spirits. As my undergraduate marine project, I studied gray whales off the coast of BC, Canada.
local rescue organizations
Community involvement is so important to me. Although there are many charitable organizations that rescue dogs within the Calgary Area, I’m happy to announce that I support and photograph dogs that need homes for Pause4Change in Calgary, Alberta.
