“My mom wanted to get pics of me and my sister, Sugar to have forever. She knows how cute I am! Don’t I take the best pictures ever? I had a hard time focusing and sitting still, I’m just a puppy you know! Sugar listened better than I did but Nicole got me to sit still and focus. I kept hearing a crying puppy and I would freeze & tilt my head in confusion where was that crying dog!? Mom said those are the best pictures, she called it puppy head tilt & says it melts hearts. I got lots of treats for that. Thanks Nicole!”

“My Mom and Dad had always wanted to have professional pictures taken however due to a couple of my knee surgeries, she wasn’t sure I’d behave!  Boy was she wrong, Nicole was fabulous! She knew just how to get me to sit, look, and pose for the camera. My inner model came out!  She is definitely fluent in the language of dog.  When my Mom received my photos I remember seeing her cry tears of joy. There is one picture in particular that my Mom says captures it all. She is hugging me tightly and I loved it. Thank you Nicole.”

“Mom and Dad had been yapping for years that we needed a professional photog-ruff-er session because we’re so darn cute together.  Thank dog they found Nicole!  Nicole bowled Mom and Dad over - she seemed to “get” what Mom and Dad wanted, and she had great suggestions.  Nicole found the purr-fect location for us - private grounds with gardens and open meadows where we could feel safe and relax and be ourselves.  Nicole thought of everything, choosing the day and time carefully to avoid the heat and get the best lighting.  At the shoot, Nicole un-leashed her technical expertise and creative eye.  We don’t like having our picture taken, but Nicole worked quickly and efficiently to get our attention and get shots that were spot-on.  Jake turned into quite the ham!  Mom and Dad said we look very fetching in our photos.  Mom and Dad said the photos capture us perfectly (together and individually) and there are so many great ones it is hard to pick their favorites.  It was a fun treat that we enjoyed as a family and will never forget.  Nicole then spent a lot of time with Mom and Dad to turn the photos into beautiful artwork that Mom and Dad (and our other humans) will dig fur-ever.  We re-fur all of our friends to Nicole so they can be as photogenic as we are.  Yip yip hooray for Nicole!”

“Our mom had always wanted a great picture of all three of us together.  She tried a few times before, but even though we’re cute, we aren’t the most well behaved, especially out in a new environment.  Ms. Nicole knew all the tricks to get our most handsome angles, get us all looking in the same direction, and to really bring out our individual personalities.   Always a flight risk, Ms. Nicole told mom to keep our leashes on and she would take care of it in post where no one would be the wiser that we were secure and couldn’t run away.  Mom says the best part of the end results are being able to see our little souls through our eyes even through the picture.  Ms. Nicole did a great job!”

“Being that I LOVE attention, my mom and I were so excited for our photoshoot. I'm pretty good at putting on an act for photos, but let me tell you, Nicole brought out the best in me. Her timing in order to capture the best pictures is top notch! I have floppy ears and one of my favorite pictures she grabbed of me was standing in front of a fountain with my ears flapping in the wind! It was one of the best days ever and it was always fun. Never once did it feel like work. Hopefully someday we can do it again. I might even let my big brother have his chance in the spotlight next time. Thanks so much Nicole!”

“Often my humans would try to take photos of me when the setting was just right.  The sun would be rising or setting and a gentle breeze would make the pasture grass sway perfectly.  I think they were attempting to capture the majestic stance I take as a glorious Friesian mare.  I would wait just as they were about to press the shutter.....and just walk away.  Then they hire Nicole to attempt to capture my noble equine presence.  Nicole moved and positioned herself without me knowing what she was doing, or even caring that she was present in the pasture.  I am curious on how the photos turned out because of my humans’ reactions.  The woman was smiling and the man was wiping a tear.......humans!”

“Nicole was fantastic to work with. The photos of our Friesian horse and her humans are more than we hoped for. The photo's are very artistic and we love them. The bonus is Nicole's personality! Great to work with and she makes the process so easy.”

“Nicole has photographed both of my daughters and their horses within the past year. She is delightful to work with and has produced exquisite images of both girls that we will always treasure. She has an easy way with both the animals and the girls, and they enjoyed their time with her immensely. We recommend Nicole without any reservation!”

“Superstar Stella and I are so glad glad you picked her to model at The Point in Pittsburgh! You made it so much fun and the pictures are amazing! The time just flew by. Thank you for making it such an easy process.”

“We had a great experience with Nicole. Two old labbies and a 7-year-old child, and Nicole managed them perfectly and professionally. We have a beautiful photograph and could not be happier with the result. I would highly recommend her.”

“Nicole has taken magnificent “family” photos with our extended canine fur kids over the years. She worked really hard to capture such special memories with all of our rescued greyhounds and Spanish Galgos. (6 pups at a time—and the magic of a few squeaker toys and a kazoo!!!!) Now, our home is adorned with her wonderful photography. My husband and I are very “greytful” for Nicole’s willingness to work with all of us!”

“Nicole Begley is fantastic! Nicole’s professionalism and enthusiasm through the whole process was beyond compare, you can tell she loves what she does. From capturing the best of your pet, sitting down with you to review the photos, to the finished products, Nicole is there every step of the way. She is truly as excited about the session and photos as you are. If you are looking for a pet photographer to make beautiful memories that will last a lifetime, Nicole is your girl!”
