Luxury Pet Photography Near Raleigh, NC


 βœ¨ Portraits Designed for Raleigh’s Most Stylish Pet Families

In the heart of Raleigh, North Carolina — from the upscale boutiques of North Hills to the timeless charm of Historic Oakwood — pets are more than companions. They’re chosen family. Whether you live in Five Points, Cameron Village (now Village District), or Midtown Raleigh, your pet deserves artwork as refined as your home.

At Kimberly Austin Photography, I specialize in fine art pet portraiture that doesn’t just capture your pet’s image — it captures their presence. The tilt of an ear. The sparkle of mischief. The quiet soul of the pet curled up by your side every night.

My private studio in Lillington, NC offers a peaceful, boutique-style escape less than an hour from Raleigh. Designed to feel relaxed, personalized, and deeply intentional, it’s a space where pet parents can slow down and celebrate their bond — without the chaos of crowded parks or noisy setups.

Because your pet deserves more than a rushed mini session. They deserve a portrait worthy of their place in your life — and on your wall.
