Dog is a blur
You set up your camera just like you found online, but your images are STILL blurry, and you don’t know why.
Too much grain
Every time you attempt to photograph dogs in action indoors, there is too much noise in your images.
Missing the ‘wow’
You’re taking GOOD photographs, but you don’t know how to level up and get that WOW.
Editing is a mystery
You know that editing could add a new dimension to your photographs, but exactly how has you stumped.
LLC who?
There is nothing as overwhelming as starting your own business, especially when there is no handbook!
Not making money
You can take and edit the photos, and maybe you have a business already, but how exactly is it supposed to be profitable?
From Passion to Profession: Meet your Coach
Hi, I’m Nadia Hall, and I know exactly what it’s like to feel stuck between passion and profession. I was just like you—obsessed with capturing dogs but unsure how to turn it into a career. After years of trial and error to find out what really works, I built the successful business Barking Dog Images doing what I love. Now, I’m here to help you do the same—without the guesswork.
My Journey
I spent years teaching myself dog portrait and dog sport photography through trial and error—so you don’t have to. Now, I’m here to help you skip the frustration and fast-track your success.

Success stories
After a year full of dog sporting events, I was in search of guidance on how to analyze my event data to be able to head into my next dog sport season with an action plan on enhancing my customer experience, profits, and backend workflow. Nadia provided me with multiple useful tools to achieve my goals, as well as provided personal insight from her experience in this industry. She went above and beyond with data analysis that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. I now feel very prepared to tackle the next event season successfully with the tools and guidance Nadia provided to me.
Before I reached out to Nadia, I was running into a lot of ‘back end’ issues, primarily with my website and gallery host. I would get constant emails from frustrated clients that couldn’t figure out how to place orders or would have trouble navigating my site. I was able to address these issues that I had been having with Nadia and she was able to help me identify some possible solutions. With her help, I now have a better way to streamline my galleries and have my information easily available and identifiable for new and current clients with a brand new website and gallery host. Although it has taken me some time to get used to, Nadia has been able to help walk me through any trouble areas I may have. On top of the website work, I have also been able to better hone in on my photography skills, especially with agility. Her experience as a competitor and a photographer is very valuable and I have seen an increase in order volume since working with her directly. If you are debating working with Nadia, I highly recommend it. Even if you have been photographing dog sport events for a few years like me, you can always learn something new or make something you are currently doing more efficient.
Before working with Nadia, I was struggling figuring out the right settings for agility photography and wanted to learn more about how to successfully run an event booth. After just one session, I already knew so much more, it was an eye-opening experience to get to work with Nadia and gain her expertise. I noticed quickly that the quality of my photos was improving and I had so much more interest in my photos. As I’ve continued working with Nadia, I’ve been able to take the next steps in improving my photography business. I highly recommend working with Nadia, she is highly knowledgeable and amazing to work with.
