In the simple moments with Akira, my Border Collie, in the backyard, the idea of active pet photography came to life. As she jumps high and free chasing a tennis ball. In that leap, in that joy, I saw the truth. Pets live in bursts of honesty. Their quirks are their truths. That’s the essence we capture at Photographers Near Me. Not staged. Not posed. Just real.
Located in Pittsburgh, PA, not confined by studio’s walls. Our pet photography is improv, with a camera as our tool and high-speed capture as our technique. We catch everything. No need for traditional poses; we’re all about the authentic action. It’s about catching your pet in their honest moments. We come to you, blending within their world. In their natural habitat, we capture their true personalities. Our aim is simple: to capture the spirit of your pet in action. It’s about seizing their story in every step, every look, ensuring that each session brings out the natural charm of your pet, making it as lively and unique as they are.
Don’t settle for static pet portraits; every pet has a lively story waiting to be unveiled.

Hello, I’m Anthoney. I live in Pittsburgh with my wonderful wife and our two dogs, Akira and Luna. My journey began in the world of film, yet my heart also lies in photography. I find joy in merging the two arts, capturing life’s spontaneous moments through the lens of a camera. My love for animals guides my focus exclusively towards them, drawn to their innocence and curiosity. I aim to capture them in their natural element, whether playing in the water or leaping through the air, preserving that split second.ย
Pets, in their fleeting yet beautiful companionship, have always moved me. Looking back, I regret not taking enough pictures of my childhood pet. It’s a poignant truth that while pets are only a part of our lives, to them, we are their whole life. This realization inspires my work as I strive to celebrate and capture the unique spirit of each animal. I am here to share this passion and am grateful for the opportunity.
Yes, we cover various locations in PA, Ohio, and West Virginia!

We like the outdoors in private natural settings. Choose a place that’s away from distractions and public interruptions. We’re happy to go to your favorite trails or parks. We generally avoid urban or city spots for the pet’s safety, especially during active sessions. However, we can consider urban sessions depending on your pet’s size and type. Just ensure they’re comfortable with city noises and passersby. Also, please ensure your pet’s vaccinations and flea/tick prevention are current.
To book your photo session, fill out the form on our Contact Us page or email us atย Hello@PhotographersNearMePGH.com.ย
We will have our consultation call to choose a package.ย
After the consultation call, we will send the invoice, and once you pay the full amount, we will secure your date. We accept all credit cards, and your session date is confirmed once your payment is processed.
Safety comes first. Dogs can be kept on a leash during shoots, which we can edit out later. *We can remove collars, but sometimes full harnesses can be tricky. We recommend selecting a convenient, private, and comfortable location for your pet.
Absolutely! But keep in mind that our focus is mainly on your pet. Human inclusion will be a smaller portion of the final gallery.
About 2-3 weeks post-shoot, you’ll get access to a private online gallery. There, you can download high-resolution files and order wall art.
I’ll keep an eye on the weather forecast. If rain seems likely, we can reschedule for a more suitable day.
If you need to reschedule your session without any additional charge, give us at least 72 hours’ notice.
