Studio Pet Photography

🐾 Why Choose a Studio Pet Photography Session?

The Magic of the Portrait Studio

Our in-studio portrait sessions are the ultimate experience in luxury pet photography. With precise lighting, beautifully styled sets, and zero weather worries, the studio offers complete creative control. It’s the ideal environment to highlight your pet’s personality—whether it’s regal, goofy, soulful, or playful.

Here, every portrait is thoughtfully posed and lovingly crafted. We specialize in capturing expressive eyes, head tilts, tail wags, and those tiny details that make your pet uniquely yours.

Studio Photo Sessions Are Perfect For:

Dogs, cats, and small pets (we love bunnies too!)
Pet parents who want a classic, polished look
Pets who prefer quiet, indoor settings
Celebrating milestones (Gotcha Day, birthdays, retirement)
Creating custom artwork for your home
Seasonal or themed sessions

🐾 The Studio Pet Portrait Experience: Step-by-Step

Your session starts with thoughtfulness, so every detail feels just right.

What Clients Are Saying

Kim has been photographing my pets for 10 years. She is an excellent photographer and knows how to get the perfect picture for you. My dogs love her and she is a genuinely kind person. ~ Daphne., Lillington

Kimberly Austin Photography is paws-itively amazing! We’ve been going to Ms. Kim at Kimberly Austin Photography for 4 years now, and she’s truly the best! 🐾 My sweet senior pup Layla (14 years young!) can be a bit shy and marches to the beat of her own drum, but Ms. Kim was incredibly patient and so gentle with her. You can tell she truly loves what she does—Layla felt like a total celebrity! ⭐️ The photos are adorable, and the whole experience was filled with tail wags and good vibes. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to treat their fur baby like royalty! ~Alexandria., Clayton

Outstanding photographer! She captured the very essence of my pets in our photos - and she's incredibly patient with my pups! I LOVE Kimberly Austin Photography!! and so will you! ~Lynn., Garner
