I had a great experience with Annie! She was very patient with my dog Lola and had a great plan B when it was clear Lola wasn’t loving the flash photography. The photos came out beautifully and the framed pieces will last a life time! More...

I met Annie at the Pet Expo and immediately fell in love with her photos. They are gorgeous!!! We booked a session at her studio for my frenchie who had never taken photos before and has lots of energy. Coupled with that, in my inexperience I did some things that only heightened her anxiety (like bathing her the day before which she hates, lol). Needless to say she was a busy busy body during the session. Regardless, Annie was so patient and calm and soothing with her. She was still able to get some fantastic shots and it was extremely difficult not to purchase them all. Annie’s communication throughout the entire process is great and her work product is worth every penny if not more! My family and I love the photos and look forward too including the remainder of my family in the next session. More...

Annie is the best! I brought my 2 cats to her studio a few months ago and anyone who knows cats knows they tend to not cooperate. Annie was patient and just let them slowly calm down after searching her studio for a while. We got some excellent photos which I am grateful for as my almost 20 yr old boy passed 2 months ago.

I wanted to take a family portrait to send out as Christmas cards, so I searched the net and came across Annie's website. She was super friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and very patient during the entire process ! At the initial consultation & photo session, she made sure my 2 crazy huskies were comfortable with the equipment and the environment. I believe in the saying "you get what you pay for" and it rings true with Annie. Her products are top notch. I highly recommend Annie and will definitely use her services in the future! More...

Annie is truly a artist. She made my whole family look fantastic. We are thrilled with results. Not only did she have to take photos of our 2 dogs, Jens and Mycroft, but also our horse, Django, as well as family photos. She come out to our barn to look around and found the perfect shot for pictures. Then she set up a time for the photo shoot, making sure the lighting and background would be perfect. When we ran out of time on that day she offered to come out the next morning to complete the shoot. Annie is very professional and wants her customers be happy. I recommend her to everyone that has animals and wants some fantastic pictures!!! Thanks again for the memories! More...

I met Annie at the Super Pet Expo and scheduled a session for her to take photos of my German Shepherd. I was nervous the day of the session because my Shepherd does not sit still for long and I was concerned about Annie not being able to get clear photos of my girl. But she did! And such amazing photos! Annie captured my girl’s beauty perfectly - whether she was running around being goofy outdoors or posing pretty indoors. Several months later, I brought home a new puppy and a few weeks later, I took both dogs to Annie for a photo session. I have beautiful photos from both sessions and look forward to having Annie capture more in the future. More...

Annie was great with Festivus. She came to our house and got a familiarity with it first. It was for purposes of sun positioning and to get an idea of where to photograph him outside. Then she came back on another day to photograph him. The pics came out great. I will always cherish them ❤️ More...

Ms. Annie Ballantine d/b/a Artful Paws Photography.We recently had a most pleasant experience dealing with Annie Ballantine of Artful Paws Photography. Our giant Airedale, Speaker, was in rapidly failing health and we wanted to have professional photographs before he died. Because of her compassion, Ms. Ballantine prioritized Speaker’s session so that he could be photographed in our home on this short notice. This entailed quite a lot of photography equipment being transported to our residence and rearrangement of the room setting. Ms. Ballantine displayed complete command of a very chaotic situation (besides Speaker, the photo shoot included three other siblings, all Terriers, and you know how rambunctious Terriers can be)! She demonstrated a very professional approach and it was clear she knew how to interact with animals. She has animals of her own. She made them feel comfortable and calm throughout our photo session.AND Speaker, despite his poor health, was extremely exuberant – full of energy right to the very end. Ms. Ballantine successfully captured his spirit, and the spirit of our household. She was a pure pleasure to work with, showing a true skill in photography, a very pleasant style, and a deep empathy in dealing with our family. Two weeks after our photo session, our Speaker passed away. Thanks to Ms. Ballantine we now have permanent memories.The final product was truly magnificent. We highly recommend her.

We LOVED the entire experience! This is coming from someone who hates her picture being taken. Annie was amazing with my two dogs and her antics to get the dogs to look had us all laughing. we opted for out door photos on her beautiful, wooded property. When we went back to view the photos they were in a slide presentation that had us all (even my husband) tearing up. We ordered pictures on board and the quality is outstanding. These are the first family photos I have ever liked and worth every penny. I can’t say enough, except that we will be going back with the WHOLE family sooner than later. Thank you Annie!!!! More...

We were first introduced to Artful Paws Photography at the Pet Expo when I noticed a portrait that looked to be oil on canvas. After talking with Annie, we learned that it was not oil on canvas at all, but a digital print made to look like one. The artwork she had on display was enough for us to sign up. Fast forward a few months to Spring and the day of our studio session was upon us. Before arriving, Annie gave us some helpful hints on what to bring and what to expect. We arrived at the studio and before long Charlotte, our 18-month-old English Lab, was loving every minute of being in front of the camera! Annie’s experience working with animals captured truly amazing pictures of Charlotte both inside the studio and outdoors. She was very professional and a lot of fun to work with; both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the session. When it came time to choose our prints, the decision was decision as there were so many outstanding pictures to choose from. If you are looking for fine art pictures of your pet that will last a lifetime, she is "the real McCoy". I highly recommend Artful Paws Photography! More...

My husband and I don’t really give each other Christmas gifts, but this year I decided to surprise him and get our dog’s photo professionally taken. I had seen Annie’s (Artful Paws) work for the Fairfax County Animal Shelter and was impressed by her talent and commitment to helping some of the most special shelter animals find loving, forever homes.Annie arranged for me to bring Lucy to her studio for an introductory visit. This was very beneficial because Lucy was comfortable in the setting on the day of our shoot. Annie was so patient with Lucy (and me) and made us both feel comfortable in a strange setting with lots of lights! Lucy did great and I thought we’d get a couple keepers. When I sat down with Annie to look at the images she had captured, I had tears in my eyes. The photos she took of Lucy captured her personality perfectly and there were so many wonderful shots it was hard to choose! I eventually settled on three different poses and had prints made of two of them and a “fine art” portrait of the third - meant to be hung in my husband’s home office. They all turned out magnificent. When my husband opened his gifts on Christmas morning he was overwhelmed. Needless to say, Lucy’s portrait is not hanging in his office - rather, it is proudly displayed in our bar area where it can be seen by everyone visiting our home. Without a doubt, this was the best gift I could have given my husband and I’m so grateful to Annie for making it happen. If you are considering having your pet’s photos taken - please trust me and go with Artful Paws. You will not be disappointed! More...

I cannot say enough good things about my session with Annie and Artful Paws Photography. Her #1 concern is for the comfort and well-being of your pet.
Before my studio session, she gave my dog Sully ample time to get acclimated to the studio and photography equipment. Sully was rewarded with treats for sitting, staying, etc. Between poses or background changes, Annie ensured he had time to rest and "be a dog". The outside shots were no different. Awesome experience!
As for the quality of the images...WOW! Her use of lighting, balance and color is outstanding. Annie's equipment is top notch. And she uses it to its full potential. She captured Sully's multiple sides (playful, serious, pensive, goofy) in one session.
It doesn't end there. Your order is delivered in tasteful and reusable packaging. Even my husband was impressed with the bag and folders our prints arrived in. I plan on going back to incorporate more of my family into the shots with Sully. And I'm looking forward to it!

She took her time, allowed my girls to relax and become comfortable with the different environment, and was able to capture many different poses for them and surprisingly one even including me, which I hadn't intended.

Annie was incredible, and her gift as a photographer is having a clear vision of the shots she wants to get. No standing around debating ideas. She cuts through all of that and provides clear, calm, and detailed direction about the poses she thinks will work best. That's not to say that she's not open to your ideas. But the majority of the time her ideas are way better. She captured amazing action shots of our dog Kobe fetching in the water, along with the perfect picture of my husband and I with our two dogs (ages 1 and 13). I loved her work so much I hired her to do engagement photos of my son and his fiancée with their two dogs. Trust her and her talent and you'll get beautiful photographs just like we did.

What do you love most about your job?
I love helping my clients create memories that they will treasure for life!
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I worked for a big photography company, I did not feel that I had the ability to give my clients the real personal attention that they deserved. I have been self-employed since I was in my twenties, and when I decided to return to photography as a career, there was no question in my mind that I wanted to have a small photography business where I could give my clients and their animals a truly top notch personal experience.
Why should our clients choose you?
I offer my clients a personalized experience that is all about creating memories with their pets. My goal with every session is to truly capture an animal's personality and to provide my clients with works of art that they will cherish for years to come! I am a full service print artist, so I help my clients through every step of the process from clothing choices to helping you choose the right products to display your artwork in your home. My clients go home with finished archival quality artwork that is ready to be displayed.
