ROSE AND HER DOG FRANKIE

"I'm looking at the card & I still can't get over how great it came out! I just love working with you. I get these ideas for cards and I'm never really sure how it will look but you have such an artistic flare. You transform my ideas into reality and it's just amazing. My family & friends say the bar is set so high for a card but year after year, you create something unique and delightful. This is the first of what I know will be years of beautiful cards & memories created by you for me & Frankie!

CRYSTAL AND HER DOG CAMILLA

"It all began with a surprise Christmas gift from Iraq. My husband surprised me with the most unique gift...portraits of our little Camilla.

Upon meeting Margaret, she was just so inviting and friendly. Her personality made me and Camilla feel right at home. The photo shoot day was simply fantastic. I was amazed at how patient Margaret and Teri were with Camilla. They managed to be professional, fun, and sensitive to Camilla's needs all at the same time. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas gift.

This experience is unforgettable and I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to meet such wonderful people. The pictures came out great and with only a few days until Steve's arrival back into the states, I can not wait to show my husband (Camilla's dad) what a terrific job Margaret has done. Thank you!"

TERI AND AND HER DOGS GINGER & PEPPER

"I've never had my girls pictures taken by a professional before, much less my own, so I was not sure what to expect. I was glad to know my girls and I would have the chance to meet Margaret before the shoot. This was a big help in getting them familiar with the surroundings.

The day of our session the girls really were at ease after a few minutes of sniffing around. I was glad I came prepared with all that Margaret had suggested. She was able to get my girls in some great shots with just a little piece of cheese and their favorite squeaky toy!

I was concerned that we would have the most trouble with my oldest, Ginger, as she's a little on the shy side. Once she felt comfortable, its like she was a whole 'nuther dog. Teri, Margaret's pet wrangler, was amazing with the girls and she has an enormous amount of patience. The shoot was about 2 hours long, but looking at the pictures she got you would have thought we were there all day! There were so many good ones, it was hard to choose!

The final product was of the best quality and I was very pleased. Margaret is very professional and extremely knowledgable. She has given great thought to her process and delivers the best experience you could ask for. You know when you stumble on something good, even if it's your first experience. I would never use another photographer since having worked with Margaret.
Thanks again for a terrific experience."

PAIGE, MICHAEL AND THEIR DOGS ABBY AND HOBO

"It seemed just a whirlwind while our session was being done. So much fun, we had no idea when it was over.

We walked in with Hobo and Abby, our bullies, and Abby was all over the place. She is what is not common, a hyper bulldog. They were really able to calm her down and get some awesome "family" shots.

We adopted our foster Jake and cannot wait to return for a group picture of all three. We know it will be as cherished as all of the other pictures that we have framed. Thanks!"

LISA, HARRY & DOGS
HOKU AND LEIA, BEAGLES

"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. "

BILL, CINDY, BILL AND BOB SCOTT & DOG
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 ultimately 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! "

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"

LIZ DOYLE & PUPPY
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."
