| Hoku and Leia, Beagles Studio Portrait ID: L-004 |
"Harry and I cannot begin to tell you how much we love our portraits.
The large family portrait we took was positioned above our fireplace and, simply put, it has made our house a home. We have had three dinner parties since placing it there and have had such an overwhelming response, the non-dog folks are amazed and the dog-lovers want to have your contact information.
The portrait of Hoku and Leia with the black background gets so much attention, everyone comments how artistic it looks, we agree fully.
The entire experience was so pleasurable, we just want to thank you for your time, energy, patience and most of all, creative ability. You do amazing work."
Thank you so much!

HARRY (MALTESE)
"When my human mom was thinking about having pictures taken of me and my family, I heard her tell Margaret, 'I am not sure this will work.'. Harry may not cooperate. Boy - was she ever wrong.
I walked into Margaret's studio and felt right at home. There is a big basket of dog toys right by the front door and pictures of dogs everywhere. What's not to love about that? And, don't even get me started talking about Teri. Margaret says she is the 'dog wrangler', but to me she will always be the 'Treat Goddess'. She gave me yummy and healthy treats. I would walk to the ends of the earth for her. When Margaret was flashing that bright light and pointing her camera at me and my family, I did not care. If Teri told me to sit, I sat. If she wanted me to stand up and wag my tail, I did it. Roll over? No problem. When Teri left the room, I went looking for her.
In my professional pet opinion, all that hard work (okay, it was more like fun than hard work) really paid off. I look great in those pictures! And, my humans look pretty good too. Before our photo session, my mom asked Margaret to try to capture my relationship with my human grandfather. When my mom saw the pictures of me and grand-dad, I think she started to cry. She said they exceeded her greatest expectations. Oh, and John, my mom's brother, he does not know how to smile for a picture without looking goofy. But he looked natural and happy in the pictures Margaret took. That is no small miracle.
Let me tell you, these ladies know dogs and how to make us and our humans look good. So, if you are thinking about some photographs, look no further than Margaret and the Treat Goddess. You will have fun, get some great pictures, enjoy a treat or two, and your humans will be happy. "

HALLE AND KELLE
"I just wanted to say thank you so very much for the beautiful pictures of Halle and Kelle. They are everything I was hoping for and more.
I can't tell you how much I love the pictures and I feel so blessed to have a "family" photo with my "kids". You and Teri work so well together. Your obvious love for dogs, your patience (especially with Kelle), and your understanding of dog behavior made for a wonderful experience. Thanks again for all you did."

SQUIGGY, PEMBROKE WELSH CORGI
"Our session began as a request from my husband, Bill, for a family photo for father's day--including Squiggy, our Welsh Corgi.
After seeing one of Margaret's portraits in my veterinarian's office, I checked them out. What an incredible experience!
Our dog, though he'd had his picture taken shied from the lights, requiring us to hold him to get any photos at all. I left the session certain we'd gained nothing usable.
Imagine my surprise and pleasure seeing dozens of great photographs of my family and of the dog. It took my husband and I hours to go through all the possibilities and choose what ulitmately was double what we'd budgeted.
Margaret and Teri have incredible patience, but on top of that, they have incredible knack at catching once-in-a-lifetime photos. During our session, we did the standard posed family photo, plus rollicking rolling and laughing photos. We had the best time being silly, making faces, interacting with Squiggy as we do at home and the results are amazing!
In addition to pictures to send to family and friends, we gained treasures that my family and I will treasure forever.
Thank you Margaret and Teri! Excellent work. Wonderful experience. Highest of recommendations! "

BENTLEY AND QUINCY, YELLOW LABRADOR RETREIVERS
"I have been wanting to call you but have gotten very busy, plus have not found the right words to express the joy that everyone has gotten from our pictures.
The response to our pictures has been outstanding. My oldest granddaughter cried Christmas morning and told me I was beautiful. Our son and daughter cried and were so happy that Dad and I did something like that. They never expected us to do anything like that, AND, of course Bentley and Quincy looked fab!
Margaret your work has brought so much joy to our family. The pictures are extremely wonderful, the experience was terrific and fun and you're both are very patient and talented in your field.
We can't thank you enough for the joy that your work has produced. Thank so very much! "

PONGO AND PIPPI, WEIMARANERS
"Recently I decided to surprise my partner with professional dog portraits of our 2 Weimaraners. I searched the Internet and found Margaret Bryant Dog Photography.
Our experience was wonderful. Margaret and Teri were professional, compassionate and very patient. Our 2 Weimaraners have different personalities and Margaret was very good at working with both. Pippi was happy to sit for photos but Pongo was very nervous and showed signs of anxiety. Margaret and Teri helped Pongo feel confident in his surroundings. I really appreciated the fact that they did not push Pongo to do more than he was comfortable doing and they respected the fact that he truly was scared of the flash. For us, that brought great comfort (and Pongo too!)
Margaret and Teri are truly in this business to provide a wonderful service for those who call their pets their kids. Margaret was able to capture each dogs personality on film and we are just so pleased with the pictures!
We want to extend a huge thank you to both of them for their time, their professionalism and their laughter. It was really fun and we highly recommend them to all who cherish their pets!"

MATTIE DOYLE, BOXER PUP
"I'm Mattie, a 10 week old boxer. My mom calls me #@!@#! I want to live with Margaret and Teri cuz they played a lot with me, they loved me and my mom says they have the patience of Job, whatever that means.
My mom says we were a team, but I don't understand cuz Margaret, Teri and me played a lot and I never got in trouble so I'm confused as to what a "team" means. Oh, they also thought I was adorable and a really good subject, and a national contest entry, geeez, I thought I was a puppy.
Luv Mattie"

MATTIE, BOXER PUP
"Patience, Love and Teamwork are the top three adjectives to describe Margaret and Teri. It’s truly incredible how they worked with my 10 week old boxer, Mattie.
Obedience means nothing to Mattie so I was hesitant at first to have her photographed. I feared her lack of patience would make the experience frustrating. The professionalism they showed, the teamwork they conveyed and patience they had were outstanding and extremely impressive. The time went by quickly, with no frustration on my part nor Mattie’s.
Not only did I get some incredible photos which captured the fun and personality of my puppy, I also took away some valuable skills and ideas for training and working with Mattie."

SADIE, GOLDEN RETREIVER AND
SOPHIE, YELLOW LABRADOR RETREIVER
"Margaret’s photography can be summed up in two words, SIMPLY AMAZING!
The time she spent visiting with me about my dogs, and the relationship with each one, learning about their personalities, tossing ideas around, and just observing them prior to the photo shoot was so valuable when the day of the photo session arrived. The patience both she and Teri have with the animals is that of a saint! When I left my photo session all I could think was, gosh I hope that a few of the pictures will come out okay.
But the day I went to look at the proofs, I was absolutely blown away! I spent two (2) hours going through each of the pictures and still had a tremendously difficult time narrowing my selection down. Every picture was unique and beautiful and captured the essence of the dog’s personalities as well as the relationship bond between us.
Margaret Bryant is a true professional and the special feeling she has in her heart for animals shines through the lens!"

"We sure had a great time yesterday afternoon (looking at images), but man those were hard decisions to make. I am sure I will be ordering more soon. As you know, I love my dogs VERY much and the pictures just touched my heart so deeply. THANK YOU. You have a gift!!"
April 2004:
"In January 2004 our family achieved a major goal when we invited Margaret Bryant and her assistant Teri to come to our house and photograph us, our two dogs and one of our cats.
The experience was one that we will never forget and the final results were astounding. We all wondered why we had waited so long to do this!!
Everyone involved had a great time as Margaret and Teri skillfully worked with us to get the best poses and capture our personalities and our relationships.
We highly recommend Bryant Dog Photography!"

HERSHEY, CHOCOLATE LAB
TAZZY, ACD MIX
"WOW!!! I can't begin to tell you how impressed my wife and I were with Margaret Bryant and the entire Family Photo experience.
We have a Chocolate Lab that won't stop panting and a slightly disgruntled RED dog with an independent disposition. The thought of photo time was not a pleasurable one for me and one that I fully expected to resemble something similar to Clark Griswald and the family vacation to Wally World.
However, it's fair to say that I was truly amazed at the actual event itself as well as the outcome. Margaret knows dogs extremely well, but what was most impressive was her knack for calming the celebrity pooch that seemed to think every time was a good time for a treat.
Above all and most importantly, Margaret knows how to take amazing pictures and was able to capture the essence and spirit of the ones I truly love. Coming from a guy who smiles like he's in the 4th grade, the final product was nothing short of spectacular.
I highly recommend Margaret for any family photo outing, but especially for those who want to freeze a moment in time or a simple memory of that very special friend that lives for you and me."

"Just wanted to thank you for the great experience my dog, Dixie and I had having our picture taken. Being camera shy myself, you and Teri made the session comfortable and fun. I felt like I was in my own living room! Your attention to detail is reflected in the photo. I have recommended you to my friends and family. I look forward to coming back!"

MONTANA, WHEATEN TERRIER
"Our family is not all in one place very often, so when we decided to do family pictures, I wanted it to be perfect. I found Margaret's work, and since my dog is such an important part of our life and our family, I thought it would be a great choice.
Margaret and Teri arrived on time and put all of us at ease immediately. She had creative ideas about how to capture the spirit of our family and was infinitely patient with all of us, from our nervous teenagers all the way to my rambunctious puppy dog, even when he jumped in the pool!
Our only problem was that we had so many great shots to choose from. The photographs are beautiful and special, and we will treasure them for many years."
