About Kel Munce  - Fine art dog photographer

I’ve always been drawn to art that feels like a story.
The kind of fine art and old-world oil paintings you can get lost in…
the same way you pause for a breathtaking sunset when it appears.
Where the colours soften, the world quietens, and your mind finally relaxes.
That feeling has lived in me for as long as I can remember.

So has my love of dogs.

Before photography, I was a dog groomer — spending my days building trust, calming anxious pups, and learning to understand dogs in a way that goes far beyond commands.
Twenty years ago, that love for dogs and that fascination with fine art collided, and I found my true calling in dog photography.

And while my phone is packed with a million photos of my own dog — and my five grandkids — nothing compares to the fine art portraits hanging in my home.
They change the entire mood of my space.
They make the house feel calm, warm, lived in, and full.
They’re a daily reminder of the souls who matter most.

That feeling is what I want to give you.

I’ve always valued a beautiful, thoughtful experience — whether it’s a meal that makes you slow down or the way a boutique shop makes you feel seen.
Heart Dogs was created with that same intention.
Not just for “photos for your phone,” but for an experience you share with your dog — one that feels luxurious, relaxed, meaningful, and memorable.

I want this to be fun.
I want you to feel cared for.
And I want you to walk away with artwork that becomes part of your home…
and part of your heart.

I’m the professional dog photographer you didn’t know you needed —
and you’ll be so glad you took this step.
These moments become priceless far sooner than we expect.
I can’t wait to create something unforgettable with you and your dog.
