Apex, North Carolina isn’t just growing — it’s thriving with charm, creativity, and community spirit. From the boutique shops in Downtown Apex to family-friendly neighborhoods like Bella Casa, Scotts Mill, and The Villages of Apex, this vibrant town knows how to blend warmth with style — including how they honor the pets they love.
At Kimberly Austin Photography, I serve Apex families who treat their dogs and cats like true companions — not accessories. My sessions are crafted to go beyond the ordinary, capturing portraits that reflect the love, humor, and heart your pet brings into your life.
Just under an hour from Apex, my studio in Lillington offers a calm, upscale environment where your pet’s personality is the star — with no distractions, no rush, and no gimmicks.
When it comes to something as meaningful as your pet’s portrait, many Apex clients are willing to skip the mall pop-ups and crowded events. They make the short drive to my studio because they want a more intentional experience — one that values craftsmanship, patience, and connection.
Whether you’re in Beaver Creek, West Village, or off Kelly Road, clients say the trip is worth it because:
Sessions are tailored to your pet’s temperament and your design style
The atmosphere is peaceful, never chaotic
Portraits are designed to become heirloom artwork — not just digital clutter
From rescue pups to pampered purebreds, every pet gets the red carpet experience.
If your dog thrives in the great outdoors, we have options! I offer limited on-location sessions in pet-friendly Apex parks and private properties. These are ideal for pets who shine with space to roam.
📍 Favorite Apex spots include:
Apex Nature Park – dog-approved and golden-hour gorgeous
Kelly Road Park – open shade, natural textures, clean backdrops
Beaver Creek Greenway – beautifully wooded with room to wander
Private residences – manicured lawns, estate-style charm, or cozy home settings
Every session — whether studio or outdoor — is scouted and styled with intention. The result? Artwork that feels personal, not posed.
You already know your pet is more than a fixture in your home — they’re part of your identity, your daily rhythm, and your happiest memories. That’s exactly what we preserve here:
Portraits with heart, meaning, and staying power.
From gentle lighting to expressive posing, I design each session to showcase the unique personality of your pet — whether they’re wiggly, shy, serious, or silly.
Let’s create portraits that tell your pet’s story — not just how they look, but who they are. Reach out to schedule your personal planning call and start designing a session that’s as one-of-a-kind as your pet.
