Animals on the internet have become household names: Doug The Pug, Lil bub, Boo the pomeranian, Grumpy Cat, Marnie The Dog, Hamilton The Hipster Cat, the list goes on and on. They have verified Instagram accounts with millions of followers, personal websites, branded merchandise and even endorsement deals. Along with the animal celebrity/pet influencer trend we’ve seen an uptick in everyday animals getting their own Instagram accounts. Simultaneously, we’ve also encountered animal lovers honing in on their pet portrait skills to keep up, gain followers and, ideally, discover clients willing to shell out for portraits of their own four-legged friends.
Below we’re rounding up six photographers who impressed us with their talents. Capturing everything from sweet moments between family pets to more formal studio portraits, these photographers are also exploring new angles and approaches to get their subjects’ buy-in. Like other specialties in photography, pet photographers have range and distinct styles that should be celebrated and encouraged.

This week we’re sharing an image from Ruth Coffey that’s a bit less furry and cute, but instead explores the magic in unplanned animal interactions.
