“My fiancé and I met over 8 years ago and bonded because we each had a rescue pup that was our entire world. Neville (shepherd/hound mix) is my partner in crime and Barkington (boxer mix) is Seth’s.

Our boys became thick as thieves and are regularly referred to as the “most bonded pair” at their doggy day care. Barkington is full of sass and bosses all of us around – despite being the smaller of the two. Neville is sweet as can be and wants nothing more than to sit in your lap (even though he’s 80+ pounds).

We love taking our boys on lots of long walks, hikes, and to parks all over Atlanta. Our boys mean the absolute world to us and we’re so thankful to have beautiful photos that capture them so well!

My boys were getting older and had a few health scares. I had talked about doing photos for a few years, but this seemed like the right time. I was most worried about my boys behaving and being able to sit still.

I know you promised 1,000 times that they were behaved and that we for sure got some good shots – I was still worried after my boys were so chaotic during the shoot. Once I saw the photos though, I was absolutely floored – they were perfect.

I love the album – it’s such a beautiful keepsake of my boys that I proudly show to anyone who walks through our front door.”

Shark has been my source of unconditional love, my encouragement to get up in the mornings, and my motivation to go out and explore more of the world. She is the best travel companion, a social butterfly, and the best and most persistent snuggler. She’s been the reason I’ve gained so many new experiences and new friends, and is my inspiration for always being down to try new things and going on fun adventures I never would’ve tried by myself.

You were very patient with the times Shark did break her stay, and also when she had a difficult time concentrating when there was a chipmunk running around one of the rocky areas (and got some very dignified pictures out of the intense staring she did during that whole situation anyway!)

I was wonderfully comfortable! We chatted and laughed and it was like hanging out with a friend even though it was our first time meeting up!

I love love love the picture that I got framed, her eyes are so sparkly and her head shape is perfect and her little ears are captured so well, it’s of one of my favorite expressions she makes when she’s just staring into my soul and she looks as full of love in the photo as she truly is all the time.

I just feel that it really captures all my favorite things about her. The light background really makes her colors pop and I was really thankful you helped me pick out the frame most complimentary to it as well!

“Working with Courtney was a dream.

I was worried about how my dogs would behave and how Courtney would be able to get pictures of their chaos.

The process was very cool to watch and I felt comfortable with how Courtney directed my dogs and posed them. And the amazing thing was, they listened! (With treats, of course!).

Seeing Courtney get down and dirty on the ground, in order to get good shots, was very encouraging and showed me that she truly cared about making sure we had good pictures from every angle. I am so thankful that Courtney was able to capture my dogs’ personalities and perfection in her pictures.

My husband and I do not have children, so Nami and Jasper are the light of our lives. They have taught us the beauty of unconditional love and friendship and I am so thankful to have memories and pictures of my fur babies.”

One word, Amazing!


Courtney and her team really made this a special day.

When setting up the appointment, I told her that my dog recently came out of remission and she was to so responsive and accommodating.

Being that my dog has crossed the rainbow bridge now, I am so grateful to have these wonderful pictures and the photo shoot as a happy memory I shared with him.

Thank you so much Courtney!
