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. 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!
I’m so grateful you’re here. I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and create lasting memories of your furry family.
