Pet photography for
Well Loved Dogs
Creating custom photographic artwork of your most loved creatures to fill your home
When it comes to photographing the furry love of your life – you should hire a pet photographer.
If you love the way his forehead wrinkles when he’s being serious, or the gleeful way he retrieves the ball, or maybe it’s just the way he looks adoringly at you while you’re holding his favorite treat, those are the moments we’ll use to create personal art for your home.
With more than 10 years working with pets & their people, I create a luxury pet photography experience for Atlanta’s pet parents and deliver art, albums, and wall portraits to fill their home with artwork featuring the furry faces they love most.
Imagine finally having gorgeous photographs of your pet, an experience you’ll both love, & ready to display artwork delivered to your door.
This is pet photography designed for the pet obsessed.

“Very thrilled with the photos and the artwork of my precious doggie and me. These are our family photos! Courtney is professional, patient and knows how to get the great photos. She was even very cognizant of my dog’s reactive tendencies to other dogs in the photo setting. I highly recommend CM Bryson Photography. She has the “Dozer” stamp of approval!”

I loved the location, the editing, and the entire session itself. 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.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1 - THE PLAN
I’ll ask you do a little homework by completing a session planning questionnaire that helps me get to know the star of the show and help you explore how you might want to enjoy the images we’ll create.
I’ll take it from there – creating inspiration boards & shot lists to make sure I deliver the best dog photos you’ve ever dreamed of having.
STEP 2 - THE SESSION
This will be your dog’s favorite part: treats, toys, funny noises, and mom’s full attention on a fun day all about your dog! I’ll roll all over the grass making squeaky noises and photograph your dog looking their absolute best.
And the best part?
Your dog’s only job is to be their doggie self – distractions and squirrels and tongues out are all 100% OK
STEP 3 - THE ART
Just so you know, this will be your favorite part & probably the hardest part… because how do you choose?
These are photos of your dog… of course you love them! Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through this process and together we can plan how you’ll display the ones you just can’t live without.
STEP 4 - DELIVERY
After making your selections for albums and image boxes that hold all your favorites and wall art we can design right on your walls so you know exactly how fabulous Fido will look over your couch, your finished – ready to display – artwork will arrive to your door 6-8 weeks after your order.
No more figuring it out on your own – this is DONE for you service.
how much does it cost?
Well, you could keep trying to take your dog’s photo with your phone…
and keep getting blurry blobs attached to leashes & not so flattering selfies.
Or you could call your friend who photographs weddings…
but has no idea how to work with dogs, and frankly doesn’t appreciate the charm of a slobbery kiss from a giant tongue.
And you can order your own artwork from those places online
and spend hours researching before giving up and just posting them to Facebook where they’ll be lost in the feed in 24 hours.
or both you & your dog could enjoy
- An experience crafted by an expert
- A stress free photo shoot experience for both of you
- A safe session for your dog
- Gorgeous museum artwork you’ll be proud to display in your home
- And digital files to share on social media
collections start at $1800
$325 reservation fee required to book
Payment plans & a la carte options also available.
Happiness – Guaranteed.
If you don’t love your images, I’ll make it right or refund you 100%
Please note I’m only able to serve a few clients each month & typically book 4-12 weeks ahead.
If your pet needs priority scheduling due to medical or age concerns, please let me know.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, even your dog can have professional photos. Even if they aren’t trained, even if they can’t be off leash, even if they don’t like other dogs, even if they are blind or deaf or paralyzed, even if they are a puppy or an old puppy. I have worked with them all and we can make beautiful photos of your dog.
What if my dog can't be off leash?
Want to know a secret? 90% of the dogs you see on my website were wearing a leash! The other 10% were all inside a secure fence! And sometimes both! With the magic of photoshop, I can create the off leash images you want while keeping your pet safe.
My dog is too nervous/excited/untrained to get good images.
For more than 10 years I have worked with rescue dogs and photographed 1,000’s of adoptable dogs & cats. Most of them have ZERO professional training and are going through the scariest experience of their lives.
We will design the session to fit your dog. If your dog is nervous in crowded areas, we’ll choose a private space. I need less than 1/1000th of a second to capture a great expression. Professional camera gear can stop motion, unlike your cell phone, so even fast moving dogs can have gorgeous portraits.
What if my dog has a disability?
I have photographed blind dogs, deaf dogs, paralyzed dogs, and dogs with neurological disorders.
Your session is custom designed for your dog, and we work at their pace to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.
How much should I plan to spend?
As everything is custom, how much you choose to spend is entirely up to you. Artwork begins at $250. Collections start at $1450.
My dog doesn't have much time left. Can you see us quickly?
I’m so sorry. Our pet’s lives are tragically short.
Please let me know in your booking inquiry that time is of the essence and I’ll do everything in my power to schedule you as quickly as possible.
