About Cold Nose Studio

Jessie Fraser is the human behind Cold Nose Studio. She's been an actor, acting teacher, and headshot photographer. She couldn't have been happier to discover that dog photography is the most adorable pursuit and might just be her true calling.

Jessie is also a proud dog-momma to Loki, a curmudgeonly rescue dog from the Philippines. Jessie's goal is to donate some of the proceeds from Cold Nose Studio to organizations that rescue and advocate for dogs.

Having these playful fellas in the studio was the best. I suspect they are always hatching plots together to find maximum fun. See the mischievous glint in their eyes?

My dog didn’t buy me flowers or make me breakfast in bed today, despite my best efforts to teach him how to do these things. Instead, he said “Happy Mother’s Day” via disapproving side-eye when I refused to give him extra treatos. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. HMD to all the dog-mommas from Cold Nose Studio. ❤️🐾

We were tickled to set up a photo booth at @olympicvillagevet's 5th anniversary open house. This beautiful lady was our first model and it was impossible to take a bad picture of that little face.

Hands up if your dog is your one true love 🙌🏻
Happy Valentine’s Day from Cold Nose Studio ❤️🐶

As we wag goodbye to 2024, I have a haunch that 2025 will be even better.

Happy Holidays from Cold Nose Studio. Here are some highlights from our most festive shoots this season. None of these pupperinos knew what the heck was going on, but they were real champs. Please high-five your awesome dog this holiday and donate to a pet shelter if you are able. ❤️📸🐶🎄

• BEA, GUS, CARLY & ANDREW •

If you had any doubt that the holidays are upon us, let these photos provide undeniable scientific evidence of their arrival. Thanks to Andrew, Carly, Gus and Bea for gracing the studio with some whimsical chaos.

• RUPERT & RONNIE •
Appreciation post! If you live in Mt. Pleasant, Vancouver, you may have seen this odd couple around the neighbourhood. They belong to Dayandra, the proprietor of Good Boy Collective. As I get to know her, Dayandra is becoming one of my favorite humans, and not only because she’s a big supporter of Cold Nose Studio. She’s committed to sourcing ethical, good quality supplies for your pup, creating community, and advocating for small businesses. And she’s just cool! Next time you stroll past @shopgoodboy, I recommend popping in to get some treatos for the doggos in your life :)

•FRANKIE & CASSIE •

My local dog park is awesome. It draws a lovely community of the best-ever doggie-mammas and papas, so I was naturally over the moon when my friend from the park, Cassie, booked a session for her adorable furball Frankie. I can’t even with the matching sweaters.

I had the pleasure of meeting the talented artist Eri Ishii at the Vancouver @culturecrawl this year. I fell in love with her sensitive and curious dog, Zach, and was overjoyed that they came to the studio for a shoot. I’m convinced that Zach might be a wizened wizard disguised as a dog. Please do check out @eri_ishii_painter’s lovely work :)

This is Yoda, the very scary German Shepherd. Just Kidding. Yoda’s big doggie smile and floppy tongue weren’t remotely scary during our shoot. He’s part of my series called “Bad Dogs” which aims to breakdown stereotypes about dog breeds that are often labeled as mean, aggressive, and dangerous. Misconceptions like these can lead to animal cruelty. Most dogs are kind when shown kindness.* Thanks to Yoda’s parents Rachelle and Steve for taking part in the shoot.

*If improperly trained, some dogs can be aggressive when triggered, so please be careful when approaching a dog of any breed. Always ask the owner if it’s ok to say hello :)

Meet Gladys the Pit Bull, a gentle soul and the sweetest girl. She’s part of my series called “Bad Dogs” which aims to break down stereotypes about dog breeds that are often labeled as mean, aggressive, and dangerous. Misconceptions like these can lead to animal cruelty. Most dogs are kind when shown kindness.* Big thanks to Gladys’ Mom Brittany, a fierce advocate for Pitties and responsible dog ownership, for taking part in this shoot. @brittanyannjamiemitchell

If you’re not already following @honkifyoulovemydog, meet Cowboy the Doberman. He’s part of my new series called “Bad Dogs” which aims to dispel stereotypes about dog breeds that are often labeled as mean, aggressive, and dangerous. Misconceptions like these can lead to animal cruelty. Most dogs are kind when shown kindness.* Cowboy doesn’t have a mean bone in his body, making it impossible to take a photo of him looking even remotely scary.

Did you all see Memphis in her amazing #superbowl commercial?! She rocked a mullett with ease and represented Vancouver doggos like a pro. What a star! See my reels for the ad!

Are you watching this new, groundbreaking procedural legal drama? Critics are calling it hard-hitting and gritty, with grounded, compelling performances by its leads, Dancer and Sammy the dogs. Watch them skillfully negotiate for longer walkies and more treatos, and fight for the right to chew their squeaky toys past 10:00 pm.

Cold Nose has been on a brief hiatus, but I’m back and want to see your dog’s adorable mug in front of my lens! 🐶📸

My last shoot was with Rocky and Theo, a couple of little love bugs who brought big smiles and oodles of panache.

Some photoshoots don’t require much from their subject. Sit, get a treat, and look cute when the camera goes click. But sometimes, we are asked to endure more. Pixie had recently suffered an injury. She was in no pain during our shoot, but still had a bald spot on her rump. Did vanity get the better of Pixie? No way! She showed up, put on her game face, and served up heckin’ cute looks at every click, click, click.

Boo. Or, by her formal name, Princess Booger. While her exact royal lineage is unknown, her regal bearing is under no scrutiny. Whether reclining on her chai— throne…or licking peanut butter off of her spoo—SCEPTRE… Princess Booger shows us the grace and majesty of a monarch. Long Live Princess Boo!

Furmomma: @nmheaman

Growing up is tough. You think you’ve got it all figured out and then, boom! a new baby sister. “Where is my place in the family? Will my pawrents still love me the same?” These are the quandaries that Riley surely felt when Sushi rolled (had to) into his life. But instead of sulking for weeks and being a brat, (maybe there was some sulking…) he decided to become a contributing member of his family and a protector of baby Sushi. Growing up never looked so good.

The it factor. But what is “it?” Is it a luxurious coat of tawny fur? A charismatic glint in the eye? Or perhaps a face that seems at once friendly and full of mystery. Whatever “it” is, Mila has it - in spades. Her it factor was so potent, that it actually changed the colour of my backdrop to match her colouring. No joke. My backdrop was white. Then it was caramel. Wow.
