Hi, I'm Alaska Dalton.
What started as a simple love for animals has grown into something truly special — a way to help pets live their best lives and to capture the joy they bring into ours. Whether I’m out walking dogs along the beaches and fields of Rye or photographing those muddy paws and happy faces, my goal is the same: to celebrate the bond between pets and their people.
Pup Trails is all about real moments, real care, and real connections. Every pet has their own story — and I’m here to help tell it, one walk or one photograph at a time.
My Approach
It all begins with trust. Every dog, cat or family I work with has their own rhythm, their own spark. I start by slowing down, letting them get to know me and giving them space to feel comfortable. That quiet moment of connection sets the tone for everything that follows.
Observe It
Capture It
I watch and listen. I learn how each pet moves, what excites them, what calms them. On walks I match their pace - playful and full of energy for some, calm and steady for others. With photography, I notice the small things: how an owner smiles at their dog, how a tail wags when they hear their name. Those are the details that tell the real story.
Once that trust is built, the magic happens naturally. Whether it's a joyful walk through the fields or a photo session at golden hour, my aim is always the same, to capture genuine moments of connection, personality and love. Every session, every walk, every click of the camera is shaped around the animal in front of me.
