About Nadia Itani-
Fine Art Pet Portrait photographer
The heart behind Woof House Studio
Hi, I’m Nadia, a fine art pet portrait photographer based in New Jersey. I specialize in dog, equine, and cat portrait photography, creating timeless artwork for clients across New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia.
Woof House Studio was born from a lifelong dream, brought to life in 2022. The journey here wasn’t a straight path, but every twist and turn led me to where I was meant to be.

My Approach to Fine Art Pet Portraits
At Woof House Studio, I specialize in fine art pet photography, creating museum-quality wall art that celebrates the unique bond between dogs and their people. Drawing from over a decade of experience in fashion and portrait photography in New York City, I bring a refined artistic eye and technical precision to every session.
Whether photographed in my New Jersey studio or on location in natural settings, each portrait is created with care, patience, and intention, capturing soulful expressions, quiet moments, and timeless connections.
As an advocate for animals, your pet’s comfort and well-being are always at the heart of my work. I bring patience, intuition, and a calm presence to every session, creating an environment where authentic expressions and meaningful moments can naturally unfold.
A Calm, Thoughtful Pet Photography Experience
Designed around your pet - not their obedience
Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my highest priorities.
Every session is intentionally calm, unhurried, and tailored to your pet as they are - not how they’re “supposed” to behave. I work with dogs, cats, and horses of all temperaments, including those without formal training, meeting each animal exactly where they are.
Whether your dog is energetic, shy, curious, or completely uninterested in sitting still, I work at their pace, allowing space for trust and connection to build naturally. If you’ve ever worried that your pet “won’t sit still” or isn’t photogenic, you’re in the right place.
You don’t need a perfectly trained pet or a checklist of commands. You simply need to show up with the animal you love - with a calm approach, patience, and a deep understanding of animal behavior, I’ll take care of the rest, creating heirloom-quality pet portraits that feel natural, honest, and deeply personal.
My work has been recognized internationally for its artistry, technical excellence, and emotional storytelling. These honors reflect not only my commitment to fine art pet photography, but also the trust my clients place in me to tell their pets’ stories with care and intention.

Let’s Create Something Meaningful
We had the most incredible photoshoot with Woof House Studio! Nadia captured the true essence of our beloved pups, Ruby and Rex. She brought treats, endless patience, and her talent shone through every shot. From classic portraits to hilarious treat moments, we couldn’t be happier.
