Meet Amy

Amy Hodson Indianapolis Pet Photography

Hi. I’m Amy. 👋
Dog photographer. Bird nerd. World traveler. Fantasy book devourer. Professional hype woman for your dog.

​

I’m the human behind Wander Pet Photography — and if you’re here, I already know something important about you:

You don’t think your dog is “just a dog.”

​

You know they’re the keeper of your routines. The reason you leave parties early. The one who knows when you’ve had a long day before you even say a word.

​

And that’s exactly why I do what I do.

WHAT I BELIEVE

Deeply. Passionately. Without regret.

​Photos should not live and die on your phone.
They shouldn’t get lost between screenshots, grocery lists, and 47 nearly identical pictures of your dog sleeping in slightly different positions. (I'm speaking from the heart here! 🤣)
​​
I believe every client should have tangible artwork. 
Something you can hold in your hands years from now.
Something you walk past every day.
​
A framed piece that makes you smile.
An album that feels like a chapter of your life.
Artwork that says, this mattered.
​
That’s why I don’t just “take photos.” I help you design artwork for your home.
 
Because someday, those images won’t just be cute.
They’ll be priceless.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

I live in Indianapolis with the best photography assistant to ever walk this Earth (my partner, Chris) and our two dogs, Brutus and Mickey — who are fully convinced they are the standard by which all other dogs should be measured.

 

When I’m not photographing incredible dogs for clients, I’m usually:

  • Booking a plane ticket for the next adventure with a camera in hand

  • Trekking somewhere remote in search of birds and beautiful light

  • Or tucked into my cozy corner of the universe with a warm mug, snuggly puppies, and a thick fantasy novel.

 

Bird photography is my other great love. We travel the world chasing feathers and light — Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, South Africa, Vietnam — always looking for that split-second moment when everything aligns.

 

It’s equal parts patience, obsession, and magic.

 

And honestly? Photographing your dog isn’t all that different from photographing wildlife.

 

It’s about timing.

Connection.

Reading body language.

And knowing when to wait… and when to press the shutter.

BONUS STUFF

I’m a fantasy reader through and through. If there’s a dragon, a morally gray character, or a 900-page epic involved, I’m in.

 

I listen to audiobooks while editing and will absolutely talk your ear off about whatever world I’m currently living in.

​

I’ve worked in corporate leadership. I’ve built teams. I’ve managed massive projects. And then I chose to build a life where art, dogs, and adventure are the main characters.

​

Best decision I’ve ever made.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

You will not feel awkward.

You will not feel judged.

You will not be expected to have a perfectly behaved dog.

 

I specialize in working with real dogs and real humans. The wiggly ones. The stubborn ones. The dramatic ones. The sensitive ones.

​

We’ll laugh.
We’ll probably bribe your dog.
We might get a little muddy.

​

And at the end of it? You’ll have artwork that makes your house feel more like home.
