Pet Photography for Southern Pines, NC
Where Legacy and Loyalty Are Captured in Every Frame
There’s a quiet sophistication to life in Southern Pines — winding horse trails, manicured golf greens, and neighborhoods that value tradition, taste, and the deep bond between people and their pets. Here, dogs aren’t just companions. They’re family, and they deserve to be photographed like it.
At Kimberly Austin Photography, I specialize in fine art pet portraits that blend artistry with heart. My boutique studio in Lillington is a hidden gem just under an hour from downtown Southern Pines — and well worth the drive for discerning pet parents across Moore County.
Whether you’re nestled in Pinehurst, surrounded by longleaf pines in Whispering Pines, or calling Seven Lakes or Aberdeen home, you’ll find a portrait experience here that honors your pet’s spirit and your refined style.
A Studio Experience Crafted for Pet Lovers in Southern Pines
Step into a space designed with intention — not just for portraits, but for comfort, calm, and creativity. My private studio in Lillington, NC, is a purpose-built retreat that draws clients from across Moore County, including Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Whispering Pines, Seven Lakes, Aberdeen, Carthage, Vass, and Foxfire Village.
This isn’t a shared commercial space or a makeshift setup in a retail corner. It’s a refined environment where soft lighting, curated textures, and thoughtful styling come together to highlight your pet’s personality and complement your home’s aesthetic.
Every session is by appointment only, allowing ample time for your pet to relax and for the magic to unfold. Whether you’re coming from the heart of Southern Pines or the quiet streets of Foxfire Village, you’ll find a calm, personalized experience that leads to artwork you’ll treasure forever.
Outdoor Sessions in Southern Pines – Nature‑Loving Pets Welcome
While many of my clients prefer the controlled elegance of my studio in Lillington, I also offer curated outdoor sessions in the Southern Pines area — perfect for pets who thrive in the open air.
Whether it’s the boardwalk trails at Reservoir Park or the quiet, shaded paths of Weymouth Woods, each location is handpicked for its beauty and confirmed pet-friendliness. Leashed dogs are welcome, and the light? Always stunning.
Some clients even opt for portraits on their own private property, giving the session a deeply personal, relaxed feel. No matter the setting, every outdoor experience is crafted with the same care and artistic eye you’d expect from a fine art session — just with a little more sky overhead.
Portraits That Endure — Crafted for the Southern Pines Standard
In a town where tradition meets timeless charm, your pet’s portrait deserves to be more than “just a picture.” At Kimberly Austin Photography, we create wall-worthy artwork that blends fine art technique with genuine connection — because every wag, whisker, and gaze deserves to live on beyond the frame.
Each session is carefully planned, never rushed. From first inquiry to final delivery, it’s a boutique experience that reflects the heart you have for your pet — and the elevated style of your Southern Pines home
Clients from Forest Creek, Longleaf, and Pinehurst often tell me the drive to Lillington is a small investment for the kind of portraiture they simply can’t find locally. Because when it comes to preserving your pet’s legacy, proximity isn’t nearly as important as purpose.
This isn’t a pop-up backdrop or a 10-minute flash sale. It’s storytelling. It’s heirloom. It’s art.

At Kimberly Austin Photography, we specialize in capturing connection — and turning it into heirloom artwork that elevates your home and honors your bond.
The drive from Southern Pines to our private studio in Lillington is a scenic one, and my clients often say it feels like part of the experience — a peaceful pause before the magic begins.
