MISSION & VALUES

 
 

At Say Woof, we believe dog photography can make the world kinder.

Our dogs live shorter lives than we do. When they leave, we’re often left wishing we could hold onto the moments just a little longer. Say Woof began from that feeling, to preserve the time we share and honor the love they give us.

By documenting these moments, we create memories that last a lifetime. Your investment also helps save lives. A portion of every session supports rescue efforts and adoption advocacy, helping dogs from high-kill shelters in Korea and beyond find safe, loving homes. We stand for a future with no dog meat trade and fewer abandoned animals, where every dog has the chance to experience the same love our own dogs know.

In Seattle, we also collaborate with local shelters and donate a portion of our profits to support recue dogs in our own community.

We believe small acts of kindness save lives. Together, we preserve memories, honor love, and help more dogs find their forever families.

One life remembered. One life rescued.

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

 

Hi, I’m Rina!

Hi! I’m Rina and these are my pups Monet and Lily. They’re both rescues from South Korea and honestly, they rescued me too. I’m so happy you’re here.

I’m a dog photographer based in Seattle, where I grew up and made some of my favorite memories. I studied photography at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC and worked with some amazing commercial photographers before coming back home to build Say Woof.

My journey as a dog lover began when I met my first dog, Doobu. I met him when I was 15 and he was by my side for almost 15 years. Losing him was really hard, but it also made me realize how special those memories are and how much they matter. That’s what led me here.

I know how much our dogs mean to us. They’re family. They change our lives in the best ways and never stay long enough. That’s why I care so much about capturing who they are, their personality, their little quirks, all of it.

Working with dogs is always a little unpredictable but that’s the fun part. I promise I’ve got all the patience in the world for it.

I’m so grateful you’re here. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and create something really special together 🤍
