Celebrate Your Pet.
Don’t Just Remember the Love. Display It.
Pets bring us endless joy, comfort, and companionship. They’re our confidants, our constants, and often the heart of our homes. The bond you share with your pet is deeply personal and it deserves to be preserved with intention.
As an Ottawa Gatineau area pet photographer, I specialize in creating timeless pet portraits that capture your animal’s unique spirit. These are images designed to live on your walls, becoming part of your everyday life, not forgotten on a screen.

Meet Carol Connolly
Ottawa Pet & Equine Photographer
Hi, I’m Carol Connolly, a Professional Photographer of Canada nationally accredited, multi-award winning pet and equine photographer based in the Ottawa area.
My work is about more than photography it’s about honoring the deep connection we share with the animals who shape our lives. Whether I’m waiting patiently for the perfect head tilt from your dog or creating calm focus with your horse, my goal is always the same: authentic, emotion-filled portraits that feel true to who your animal really is.
With years of experience and an instinctive understanding of animal behaviour, I create relaxed, natural photography sessions where pets feel safe and seen. This approach allows me to capture meaningful images that become lasting memories.

"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 Connolly has a way with animals. She has taken portraits of my dog and a pony, with stunning results, really capturing the souls of two very difficult subjects."
