Celebrate Your Pet And Picture Them As Stunning Art Work For Your Home

Pets bring us endless joy, love, and comfort. They’re our companions, our confidants, and often, the source of our greatest happiness. The bond you share with your pet is truly special, and it deserves to be celebrated with beautiful, timeless photographs.

As a photographer who truly understands that connection, I’m here to create stunning, meaningful images that capture your pet’s unique spirit—photos that you’ll be proud to display in your home for years to come.

Let’s work together to preserve these precious moments. At CCP we will be with you every step of the way to ensure you get the photos you’ve always dreamed of.

PPOC Accredited Pet and Equine Photographer

HI! I’m Carol Connolly and the person behind the camera (and little Finlay ) here at CCP. I’m a total animal lover, like you, and I’m lucky enough to turn that passion into a career as a pet and equine photographer.
Whether it’s capturing your dog’s playful antics, your cat’s perfectly timed nap, or you and your horse sharing a special moment, my goal is simple: to create photos that make you smile and remind you of all the love and joy your pet brings into your life.
Every pet has a unique personality, and I’m all about capturing those little moments that make them unique. I keep things relaxed and fun because, let’s be honest, pets don’t do “stiff” very well, right?
If you’re looking for someone who gets it and who can make the photo session fun and safe for you and your pet let’s chat! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet.

    "We knew Carol was a talented photographer but the images she captured blew us away.  The combination of composition with the technical aspects of her photography create real artistry.  She is so comfortable around animals and has a special sense of how to ensure their unique character comes through in the images.  So happy we had the chance to work with Carol."

    Let us just say that Carol is a truly fantastic photographer and loves furbabies. This was evident from all stages of our interactions.
    She’s passionate, patient and truly determined to get those perfect shots. She came to our home on a  sunny Sunday Afternoon.
    Carol took her time taking many shots in a relaxed and professional manner.
    Her passion and talent come across in her editing and finishing too! She got the best shots back to us exceptionally quickly and we couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. 
    We will enjoy looking at these beautiful photos of our furbabies on the wall of our home for years to come.
    We highly recommend Carol Connolly Photography!

     "Carol made the rainy fall day look warm and magical. She never rushed the session for time, even when we were working with a wiggly puppy and a stubborn old dog. Carol was present the entire time, and clearly loves the dogs she works with and her job.”

    "Carol's work is very special. She was so patient with my older dog Viviane. She made use of the lighting, space, outdoor nature etc. to bring out the best in my old girl. She was very professional, prompt and communicated clearly. The pictures are magical. We will cherish them forever.Thank you Carol."  Lisa N.
