The secret to capturing a great photograph, especially when working with animals, is experience. While there are effective techniques to help animals stay still, look at the camera, or react in certain ways, there’s always an element of luck involved. The perfect moment may be unpredictable, but a skilled photographer knows how to make the most of every opportunity!

To ensure a smooth photography session, I ask clients a few key questions. "Have you had professional photos taken before?" helps me understand their comfort level with the process and guides me in creating the perfect photos that will be meaningful to them. Knowing their budget, expectations, and how they plan to use the photos is also important in customizing the experience to meet their needs.

I’m passionate about capturing the unique personalities of animals and creating photos that bring joy and comfort to my clients. Nothing beats the feeling of knowing that my photographs will become lasting memories—especially for pet owners who cherish their animals. I love that my work provides clients with images that preserve precious moments and can offer comfort for years to come.

My inspiration comes from both the renowned photographer William Wegman and my lifelong love for animals. Having owned many dogs, I understand how important it is to preserve the memories of our pets through photography. These cherished photographs help keep the spirit of their personality alive long after they’re gone. It’s a perfect fit for me to combine my love for animals with my passion for photography.

Photography is a form of art, and the connection between a photographer’s style and their client is crucial. My approach to pet photography is focused on capturing the quirky, funny, and unique aspects of your pet’s personality—something beyond the standard posed shots. Ultimately, my goal is to provide you with a meaningful memory of your pet and the special bond you share with them.

If you’re wondering how much pet photography costs, the short answer is: it depends on your project—but I believe in keeping things simple, fair, and transparent.

Unlike some photographers who charge a separate “sitting fee” (often $100–$500) and then add extra costs for each photo, I offer one all-inclusive price. That means no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons—just straightforward, high-quality results.

A typical pet photography session in Alpharetta lasts about 1–2 hours, followed by several hours of careful editing to ensure every image looks its best. My pricing reflects the time, skill, and professional equipment involved—over $10,000 in cameras, lenses, and lighting to capture your pet perfectly.

Most sessions average around $300 total, and that includes:

• A fully customized shoot tailored to your pet’s personality and energy

• A private online gallery with 20+ high-resolution downloadable images

• Full personal usage rights—print, frame, or share anywhere you’d like

Many budget photographers may advertise lower rates but only include 1–3 images or upsell you for printing and framing later. With me, what we agree on upfront is exactly what you pay—no upsells, no pressure.

I’m proud to offer affordable, professional pet photography in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, and Johns Creek that delivers lasting memories and great value for every pet parent.
