Gott Dog Photography - Raleigh, NC
I’ve always had a passion for being a photographer. It’s what I do and who I am. I pride myself on technical skills and composition. So when I get to combine 2 of my passions into one, it’s a really good day.
I love getting to know dogs and letting them get to know me. I have an industrial-sized bottle of lens cleaner for all the nose smudges on my lens. By the end of the day my jeans are full of mud, my shoes are dirty and my shirt is covered in dog hair. I’m on the ground working until I find the composition and expression I want. My goal is to create a great portrait of your dog that will always remind you of their personality and what makes you smile on a day to day basis. Dogs are a big part of our families and life. Just like the portraits of your children and wedding, portraits of your pets will be cherished forever. The most cherished pieces of art I have on my walls in my home are the portraits I did of my Wally. Sure I have lots of phone photography of him but it’s the actual portrait session images that are enlarged and displayed.

My sessions are priced individually from the printed art so the client can customize what is best for them. Clients usually spend between $250-$3000
