Puppyhood, a stage teeming with boundless energy, relentless curiosity, and heart-melting moments. We understand the beauty and significance of this fleeting phase, and through dog photography, we strive to capture the essence of your furry friend's puppy years.

Dogs are more than just pets; they become our best friends and faithful companions. Their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love make them the perfect confidants and sources of comfort. While they are with us for just a short time lets capture your bond with your friend.

Senior dogs hold a special place in our hearts. Their calming presence reminds us to cherish the moments, celebrating their resilience and the unconditional love they continue to give. Our lenses capture the beauty and wisdom that come with age, ensuring that precious memories of these remarkable beings will be cherished for years to come.

Thank you to Everyone Who participated in our color pop session to support Prelude Assistance Dogs! Below are a few images from the fun weekend.

There are approximately 42.5 million disabled individuals in the United States. That's 13% of the population (2023 Pew Research Center statistics).  Many individuals are trying to train their own service dogs now. The success rate for service dogs is overall 30%, with this success rate being lower for owner-trained dogs. Currently the average service dog costs anywhere between 10,000 to $30,000 to train from start to finish. 

Prelude Assistance Dogs provides a lower cost training option for people in need that they can trust.

At Katherine Austin Photography, we believe in providing a truly exceptional experience for every dog, regardless of their training or energy level. Don’t worry if your dog won’t sit still , as a dog owner with less than perfectly trained dogs, we understand the concern that can come with trying to get the perfect image. We make it a priority to capture the unique personality of each furry friend, ensuring that their true essence shines through in every photograph. Whether your pup is highly trained or a bundle of energy, I am dedicated to creating a relaxed and comfortable environment, allowing their natural character to unfold effortlessly in front of the camera. With us, you can expect not only beautiful images but also a memorable and enjoyable session, where your canine companion's spirit is beautifully preserved that you can cherish for a lifetime.
