The dream was simple:

Bring the top dog photographers from all across the world together in one incredible place to join forces for three unforgettable days of magic, inspiration and education.

Brought to you by the award-winning creative minds behind Dog Breath Photography, Shutterhound’s mission is to be an in-person event hand-designed specifically for dog photographers that shatters the norms and defies the expectations of the traditional conference experience. After 12 years of photographing dogs on epic adventures across the world, Kaylee Greer and Sam Haddix dreamed of creating a unique and glittering space to bring our industry closer together than ever, share knowledge and friendship and serve to empower dog photographers across the world to conquer their artistic dreams.

Shutterhound is a 3-Day Conference to take place at The Mirage Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 5th, 6th, and 7th 2023. From 9am to 6pm each day, your schedule will be slam-packed with talks, presentations, and live demos from the very best dog photographers in the business. There will approximately 7 one hour long presentations per day, with a midday break for lunch and open trade show floor hours. The exact class schedule is still finalizing, but expect to be fully immersed in education and experiences each day during conference hours.
