Based on Rue Waverly in Montreal, Noémie Da Cruz operates as a dedicated animal photographer serving dogs, cats, horses, and combined human-pet portrait sessions, reflected directly in her business name’s explicit multi-species specialization. Reviews consistently emphasize her particular gift for making self-conscious pet owners, not just their animals, feel genuinely comfortable during sessions, a distinction that sets her apart from photographers focused purely on the animal subject alone.
One especially candid review captures this quality directly: a client describes generally lacking self-confidence in front of a camera, yet reports feeling genuinely beautiful in the resulting photos, specifically crediting Noémie with putting them at ease and deliberately including them as an equal part of the shoot rather than treating them as merely incidental to their dog’s portrait. This kind of attentiveness to the human half of a pet-and-owner session speaks to real skill in directing mixed human-animal photography, a genuinely different technical and interpersonal challenge than photographing pets alone.
Creative, thematic sessions draw specific praise as well, with one long-term collaborator describing an ongoing working relationship spanning both playful, concept-driven shoots like Halloween-themed sessions and more classically aesthetic portrait work, consistently praising Noémie’s professionalism and gentleness across that creative range. Breed-specific and species-specific versatility comes through clearly across reviews too: one client describes patient, idea-driven collaboration to best showcase their Alaskan Husky’s distinctive characteristics, while a separate reviewer describes a session specifically for their cat, praising the same combination of kindness, patience, and professionalism applied successfully to a very different animal temperament.
Multi-species competence, successfully photographing dogs, cats, and horses with reviewers specifically noting attentiveness to both animals and their owners across each of those different sessions, suggests genuine breadth of skill beyond photographers who specialize narrowly in just one type of animal subject.
For Doggy Deets users, Noémie Da Cruz stands out as a versatile, specialized animal photography choice in Montreal, particularly valuable for pet owners wanting to be included meaningfully in their pet’s portrait session rather than staying entirely behind the camera, and for multi-pet or multi-species households wanting a single photographer comfortable across dogs, cats, and horses alike.
