Jim – Alpharetta based Pet Photographer and Dog Lover serving the Atlanta Area

Hi, I’m Jim! Like many passionate pet owners, my phone quickly turned into a camera and photo album for my dogs. Over the years, I got my first weimaraner puppy after moving to the Atlanta area for work. Since thenI’ve had the pleasure of owning three more Weimaraners, a breed famous for being photogenic, obedient (especially for a treat!), and comfortable with dressing up. If you're familiar with the renowned photographer William Wegman, you probably already know the charm of Weims in front of the camera. After taking thousands of photos of my own dogs, at Kennesaw Mountain, the chattahoochee river, and all around Alpharetta, not to mention Georgia, I decided to turn my personal hobby into a more serious pursuit—pet photography.

As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve never met a dog that wasn’t my friend. My photography is all about capturing what makes your pet unique—their personality, quirks, and those special little traits that make them stand out. I believe great photos are a timeless way to preserve the memory of your beloved pet, allowing you to hold on to the joy they bring for years to come.

Whether it’s a playful moment, a calm gaze, or a quirky expression, I strive to create portraits that highlight your pet’s true essence. Every pet has a story, and it’s my goal to help you tell that story through beautiful, lasting images.
