MARGARET BRYANT
(Photographer & Digital Artist)
Dogs fill my heart. They have humor, whimsy and a joy of life. They live in the moment. They want nothing more than to eat, to play and to be with us. They make our lives more meaningful.
I have had a camera in my hand since I was in grade school. I love being able to capture the essence of a dog's personality and the authenticity of the relationship between a dog and their human. I meet some wonderful dogs and some amazing owners. Being able to practice my art in the company of dogs is a dream come true.
To me, the art of photography is about light and expression. I like to control the light to help tell the story. Expression is the joyful smile on the dog's face or the loving eyes of the dog's human. A good photograph is a lasting memory of you and your dog. It might make you laugh, it might make you cry, but it will always hold a lasting memory of the love of sharing your life with your dog.
I've shared my life with some wonderful dogs. I lost my "Lifetime Dog" Chloe in 2004. She was a mutt, but she was my soul mate. It is her paw print that adorns my logo and appears many times in my work.
My current dog family includes Molly, a Border Collie/Sheltie mix we got from DFW Sheltie rescue and Sophie a re-homed whippet. Molly likes to lie at my feet snoozing while I am working on the computer. Both bring much joy to our lives.
I am a member of several photography organizations including the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), Texas PPA, Dallas PPA, WPPI and the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP). I am currently the president of the Dallas PPA. I am also honored to be a PPA Master Photographer and the winner of numerous photography awards.
TERI WALKER
(Photo Assistant & Dog Wrangler)
It truly is a team effort. I couldn't do what I do without Teri. She is the one who makes the dogs comfortable and works with them during the photo session. It is magic to watch her work with them. She has amazing patience and the ability to talk "dog" with them. The dogs are drawn to her, and not just because she has all the treats!
Teri is quite knowledgeable about dog behavior and is experienced in dog training. During her undergraduate work in college, she even "clicker trained" rats and fish! Teri has also trained dogs to run agility and to race flyball.
TEAMWORK
Teri and I work together to create a comfortable atmosphere for your pet so we may create memorable images of you and your pups.
It is a patient atmosphere where dogs can be themselves and imagination blossoms to capture the spirit and personality of our canine portrait subjects.
