MISSION & VALUES
Our mission is to make the world better with dog photography and to educate and promote pet adoptions to end dog meat trade in Asia. The world is a big place, made smaller, we donate the talent of photography to deliver happiness around the world. You haven’t experienced true love until you’ve had a pup and they haven’t experienced true love until they’ve met the right family. High rate of pet abandonment and limited number of shelters in South Korea force many beautiful lives to be euthanized.
Say Woof partners with local rescue organizations to create meaningful dog portraits that capture the spirit of these animals and advocate for their adoption overseas. These organizations are on the front lines, working tirelessly to end pet abandonment and the dog meat trade, and we’re honored to support their efforts.
In Seattle, we collaborate with local shelters and animal welfare groups, donating 10% of our profits to support their critical work and provide for the needs of animals in our community.
We believe small acts of kindness can save lives, and together, these small deeds can build a compassionate community capable of transforming the world.
Let’s say woof, create inspiring dog portraits, and save lives—one wag, one photo, and one forever home at a time.
MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi! I’m Rina, and these are my pups, Monet and Lily. Both are rescues from South Korea, and in many ways, they rescued me, too. I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a dog photographer based in Seattle, where I grew up and created some of my most cherished memories.
I studied photography at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and had the privilege of working with some of the top commercial photographers in the industry. Now, I’m back in Seattle, combining my professional expertise with my lifelong love for dogs to create meaningful portraits for pet families like yours.
My journey as a dog lover began when I was gifted my first dog at 15. He was my companion for almost 15 years—just a few days shy of his “barkday.” Losing him was one of the hardest moments of my life, but it also made me reflect on how thankful I was for the years we shared. It’s those cherished memories that inspired me to become a dog photographer.
I know how much our pets mean to us and how they change our lives in ways we can’t fully describe. That’s why I’m passionate about capturing the joy, love, and personality of every furry friend I work with. Working with dogs is always a fun and rewarding challenge—and yes, I have endless patience for the job!
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Say Woof. I’m so excited to meet you, hear your stories, and create lasting memories of you and your furry family.
