Client and Rescue Testimonials (updated 12/13/24)
I try to keep this page updated with some of the kind words and extended reviews I've received from clients and shelters/rescues over the years. If you are considering a session, I am also happy to offer client references that you may contact. Just ask!

Received from South Magazine: "We are so thrilled to have you and what you so beautifully and artfully photograph represented in this issue! It was our honor and thank you for all you do for those with paws (and hooves) and everything in between!"
"Thank you again for the photo shoot, and for being so patient with our crazy grumble. I did dry out & have time to get changed before my meeting that day, & everybody was snoozing in the car before I got to the interstate :) I can’t wait to see what you captured, as I know they will be magnificent!!!"
"Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your patience! We love our pups so much and we are glad that we took these pictures of them and us together. It must be rewarding for you to know how much you make people so happy. And… you are also supporting these “rescue” dogs- you make a difference!"
"They turned out soooo great!! I'm in love! Thank you, thank you!!!"
"It's going to be tough to make my selections because they are all so amazing."
"Once again, I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for us. It's been a pleasure to meet you, and I wish you all the best. Bless you for everything you do for the animals and families."
"You may or may not have seen my post but sadly Kiona went to heaven yesterday. My heart is completely broken…Thank you again for giving me a gift of a lifetime to cherish these photos with her."
"I am absolutely in awe over these photos! I can’t stop scrolling through them, they are truly amazing! There are SO many good ones, it’s going to be a challenge to choose what to do with them all. I am thinking I may need to do an album/coffee table book to capture a good number of them, then decide what I want to print, & how to arrange them. I didn’t think it could get any better after Lola’s photo session, but you proved me wrong! I know they are a LOT of work, but I am so happy to have so many good pics with everyone in them. Thank you!!! These are all so stunning, you are absolutely amazing at what you do, and you truly deserve all the rewards & recognition that you’ve been receiving! Thank you, thank you, thank you, you made my day!!!!"
“You are such a gem!” Thanks again for all your help! I never would have gotten it done without all your helpful direction.”
"I'm going to have a really hard time narrowing it down bc there are so many PERFECT images. Seriously, I'm amazed!!!!"
"Thank you SO much for the beautiful photos! You really captured my Beethoven's essence. I'll be able to look at these images and smile with fond memories of my best friend. Thank you, thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done. I'll always be grateful for your extraordinary talent, your patience with us, and for fitting us into your schedule the day before he passed."
"We had such a good time with you and love the pics!! Too many good ones to choose from :). I can’t wait to share them!"
"It's unanimous—the photos are fabulous! Katie was absolutely thrilled with them. I took them to her at work the day I picked them up from you, and she showed them off to everyone at the coffee shop. She can't wait to get them framed and hung up. Thanks so much for everything."
"I'm so impressed with your dedication and contributions to helping animals. You are an inspiration!"
"I’ve seen what you’ve been doing and that is critical work (I work with Humane Rescue Alliance in DC and St Hubert’s in NJ with their fundraising programs). I know how important those photos and outreach are to shelters!!! You are amazing!"
"We had a great time yesterday! Winston and I both love the beach! Thank you so much for an amazing day."
"We had a very hard time narrowing down what to get - they were all so beautiful! Thank you so much!"
"Omg we love all of these!!!!!!!! We both are getting over Covid and Sharon has to go to Virginia for family stuff, but next week we will look through these and make some tough decisions lol! They all came out great! We had so much fun with you! Hopefully we can do it again the spring, maybe bring one or two dogs to the beach lol Thank you so much and happy holidays!!!
"Our darling Bella passed to heaven on July 3 last year at 18 1/2. She is in our garden she loved so well and will always be there among the flowers. Thank you for capturing the special photos with her that I cherish now more than ever. Much love!"
"Oh my goodness, Jeanne, they are all so beautiful! I'm going to have a hard time choosing LOL"
"We LOVE them!!! Thank you so much!!!"
"Wow I love them!! ❤ Is there a limit on how many? Looking at them again makes it really hard to choose - I'm so happy with them!"
"These pictures are absolutely wonderful ❤️❤️ Clyde is beautiful, but you brought out his handsome personality as well. We couldn't be more thrilled with what you've done for us!!"
“Thanks Jeanne! Everyone LOVED our Christmas cards and we recommended you to a bunch of people. They couldn't believe how well the photos of the dogs turned out and how a professional dog photographer could actually make a difference! We appreciate all your help with these! Thanks again and Merry Christmas!”
“Seeing your newsletter, reminded me to email you. I LOVE my pictures. You did a marvelous job of capturing images of all my guys in good spirits. In your picture, they are all playfully smiling - even the pups. Just what I was hoping for. ☺️ You’re the best.
"I just wanted to let you know that your pictures of my Fess and Grady were a BIG hit with their mother. She loved them (cried) and was especially pleased to have pictures of the two of them as adults smiling . . . which speaks to your skill as a photographer. As we know, it was a challenge to get Fess to drop his tough guy image and smile. Nice going!! Good fun, Great picture . . . what more could we ask for!?! Thanks for bringing your special talents over here."
"I LOVE the pictures! Of course, I cry a little each time I look at them. I would like to get an appointment for a portrait of Dot when you have time. Thank you for the beautiful pictures. I need to get everyone done, but I'll start with the oldest."
"Thank you again for being so flexible and accommodating my schedule when we had so little time left. And what's more, coming out on a rainy holiday weekend to do so. It truly means the world to me. Gizi and I spent all day together on Monday getting snacks, going for a walk, and just hanging around, which was always her favorite thing. The vet came Monday late afternoon, and it was beautiful despite being so sad. There is a huge hole everywhere I go in the house where she used to be. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift of memories of her and I together."
"Hi Jeanne, first I want to tell you how incredible your work is. I LOVE the treat toss pictures and am in awe of your ability to get a great photo of my boys (Winston and Rookie) for the holiday session. Somehow, with Rookie trying to eat the Christmas balls, and Winston trying to eat your treats, you were able to take an amazing shot!" (from a holiday event guest)
"OMG, we had a grand time. Thanks for making it happen."
"Wow!! You're ahead of schedule!! All of us can't wait to see the photos. FYI: both boys [adult sons] told me they had a great time at the photo session. Normally these things are chores, but you made it a memorable experience. Everyone especially enjoyed the sounds you generated to get the dogs' attention."
"Oh my gosh, these are so good! Thank you!!! You work so hard and I appreciate all you do for the community! Thanks so much!"
"We all enjoyed our session with you..can't wait see the photos of us. You are a very nice and kind photographer .I'm happy we picked you to do our photos."
On receiving a quick preview: "I can see all I need to capture just how awesome these are. I know she will be absolutely thrilled and I cannot begin to express how grateful we are. You made it so incredibly easy and fun and Ziva was so calm!"
"Received and downloaded all the pictures. And, the bonus picture that your expert eye saw...would hated to have missed out on it. We love them SO much!! They are already on my FB page...subtle shout out to Greg's hot-ness. Overt shoutout to your greatness. Thank you so, so...so much!"
