"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind

My name is Kerry Peterson, photographer for Take A Little Paws Photography. I am a Canadian Military wife, and the mother of two beautiful young children. I love watching our two small children experience things for the first time. After my love of family comes photography. Chasing my husband and children around with my camera is a daily occurrence. I specialize in capturing military life events from maternity, birth, family portraits, pre-deployment boudoir, weddings and so much more. When a service member is away, often all we have to hold onto during tough times is a photograph and a memory.

Photographing people and telling their story through the lens of my camera is my passion. I love hearing my client's unique story, and learning what makes their relationship special. I want my clients to be completely relaxed to capture their inner beauty. I’m not a fan of rigid, uncomfortable posing, nor ‘forcing moments’.

Canada is a spectacular country, and I love being able to incorporate it's beautiful outdoors in my work. Many of my clients feel awkward posing in a stuffy studio with equipment they do not understand. Where possible, I like to take my clients to a gorgeous outdoor location where they can relax and be themselves.  I’m always exploring and finding new areas and angles to give each session a unique look.

Believe it or not I began my small business as a dog trainer back in 2006. As I grew, my business transformed and my passions expanded into photography. I started with taking pictures of my dog training clients dogs and then grew to families, life stages and so much more. 

Capturing precious moments and providing timeless memories is my passion.

I am based out of Morinville, Alberta but I'm happy to travel.
