  • Feb 14

Memphis pet‑friendly businesses, there’s one thing your clients always want to see: the people who care for their animals.  (groomers, veterinarians, trainers, dog walkers, boarding facilities, boutique owners)

Think about how often you search for a pet‑friendly business online. You check Google, reviews, click through websites, and scroll Facebook.  What are you looking for? Faces. Hands. Experience. Trust. Anyone who will be touching and caring for your pet.

Before we hand over the precious souls who love us unconditionally, we want to know who we’re trusting.  Photography is visual reassurance.  A way for potential clients to see your professionalism, your compassion, and the heart behind your work.


Recently, I photographed a local groomer for her website.  Not a full branding session, not a stiff corporate headshot , those belong in the non‑pet world. Instead, we created portraits of the heart.  Images that show the passion every pet professional carries for the animals in their care. The result was warm, real, and deeply connected to the way she serves her clients every day.




That experience reminded me how much these images matter for animal‑centered professionals across Memphis and the Mid‑South. Pet parents want to know who they’re trusting. They want to see your face, your hands, your compassion, your craft. They want to see the animals who are part of your story.




These commissioned sessions are designed for exactly that. I offer a limited number of portrait experiences for pet‑friendly businesses.

Each commission includes:


  • A professional headshot (human‑only.  Because everyone deserves a portrait they’re proud to share)

  • A professional headshot (human & with with pet.)

  • Authentic working images with the animals who are part of your daily life

  • Fine‑art lighting and direction, created with the same care I bring to my heirloom pet portraits

  • In‑studio or limited on‑location options available. 

  • Curated image gallery of 8-12 images





These are not mass‑market branding packages. They are commissioned fine‑art business portraits, tailored to the heart of your work in the animal industry.  Delivered without watermark and includes an image license agreement which gives the client authorization to use the images without watermarks for their business.



This commission is for one individual (owner, sole proprietor, or independent professional) and may include one to two pets. To book, visit my website and choose “Request Your Session,” noting that you’re interested in a Pet Professional Session. The commission fee applies and includes a curated gallery of edited digital licensed images.


For multi‑employee teams, practices, or businesses with more than one professional, custom commission quotes are available. Please email for information.

 

If you’re a Memphis‑area pet professional and want portraits that feel true to who you are and the animals you serve,  I would be honored to create them with you.
