The 8 Best Pet Photographers in Naples, FL

Since our four-legged loved ones walk alongside us and shower us with affection, it’s worth capturing that special bond by a session with a talented photographer. Pet portraits are wildly popular since the perfect photographer always manages to capture your fur friend’s personality to a tee. In fact, as the images of these 8 Naples pet photographers demonstrate, there is quite a bit of variety in how creative artists engage with their furry clients!

1. Alessandra Sawick

Few Naples pet photographers can match the talent and experience that Alessandra Sawick offers her clients! She uses the best lifestyle approaches in her art, showcasing pets alone and alongside you at the dog park, at home, or wherever provides the best backdrop for the session.

We also love how Alessandra manages to portray the unique aspects of your pet. Whether your dog is too hyper to sit still for a portrait or your senior pup just wants to relax in the sun, viewers get a clear sense of your pet’s personality. She describes her style as “clean, modern, and timeless style focused on capturing your pet’s personality and striving to preserve its legacy.”

2. Stephanie of SA Earnhart Photography

Stephanie of SA Earnhart Photography’s journey into becoming a portrait, brand, and event photographer has been lifelong. From her first experiences with a camera in high school classes, she felt the calling to become the school newspaper photographer! In fact, she even had her own darkroom where she could work the slow magic of film and bring prints to life.

Stephanie’s style is vibrant and cheerful, reminding us of the bright Naples sun and nearby ocean. Her colors have enough saturation to feel celebratory yet still remain realistic in character. It also helps her pet subjects stand out from the bright outdoor backgrounds she tends to work in!

3. Christiane Elise

When holding portrait sessions for children, couples, and families, many folks opt to leave the pets at home, which is a mistake, in our view. As Christiane Elise knows, dogs and cats are like another kid in their importance and deserve a place in our photo albums and the memories they inspire in us.

Christiane’s pet photography is family-centric, where dogs and their humans engage in beautiful outdoor surroundings and with each other in front of her lens. Her style is nostalgic, using gently warmed and desaturated tones in outdoor parks for images that belong printed and hung on a wall or placed in a family photo album to be treasured forever!

4. Kim DeLeon

Kim DeLeon is a true pet lover and Naples pet photographer who sees her art as a way to give back to her community. As she shares with us: “not only do I get lots of doggy kisses and cuddles but, it also gives me an opportunity to spread awareness for different breeds and sometimes even showcase local adoptable shelter and rescue doggos!”

By providing rescue animals with professional portraits that highlight their quirky expressions and unique personalities, Kim helps these animals get adopted all the faster. We especially love her use of studio backgrounds, lighting, and props to add a formal character to the shoot. Of course, the bunny ears, ribbons, and other props take the edge off the formality, leaving you smiling and wondering how to adopt that good boy or girl for yourself!

5. Trina Bauer

Heartwarming portraits that capture the one-in-a-kind spirit of your pet are what Trina Bauer has to share with you. She works with dogs and equines, using foliage to artistically frame her subjects in the best environmental portrait fashion.

Trina also manages to capture pets in motion, where their energy and zest for life is made manifest, while still composing her shots carefully and considerately. Her images are uplifting, emotional, and classically captured in the best portrait style!

6. Jessie Vega

Jessie Vega is a pet, wedding, event, commercial, and family photographer based in Southwest Florida. He provides his diverse services in Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and other major metros in the region.

Jessie’s pet photography is impactful, thanks to its up-close and intimate perspective. He’s unafraid of bringing the lens down to the level of your pets and using a wide field of view, adding dynamism and a fascinating view to animals usually viewed from above!

7. Stephanie of Tiny House Photo

Looking to bring the dogs along for a family photo shoot or wedding ceremony? Stephanie of Tiny House Photo is not only accommodating but just as excited as they are for the session!

As she shares: “If you bring a pet to your session, it might end up becoming a pet session. I am obsessed with all things floofy and feathered and thought you might enjoy a little break from the coupley-love fest.” Stephanie’s pet photography even has a delightful emphasis on using storytelling backgrounds to add a lifestyle character to the session, just like her couples images!
