Pop the pup-corn and cue the confetti—we’ve got some BIG news to share!

We’re beyond thrilled (and still doing happy zoomies) to announce that The PAWtographers have been named the 2025/26 Pet Photographer of the Year by the Prestige Awards!

This international awards program recognizes the best of the best in small, independent businesses, and we’re deeply honored to be this year’s pick for the United States.

📸 The PAWticulars That Earned Us the Win

The Prestige Awards aren’t just about pretty pictures (though we like to think we deliver plenty of those). Their judges review each nominee based on service excellence, innovation, customer experience, community impact, and more. It’s about doing things differently—and doing them well.

Here’s what made The PAWtographers stand out from the pack:

• Our highly personalized, concierge-style client experience
• A commitment to artistic storytelling through everything from fine art portraits to underwater dog photography
• Our work with rescue organizations, fundraisers, and feel-good glow-up stories
• Consistent 5-star reviews and happy clients across Northeast Florida, Naples, and beyond

We pour our hearts into this work. Every tail wag, every lick, every nuzzle—it's all part of the story we get to tell through our lens. And this recognition feels like a giant belly rub from the universe.

🏆 The Trophy’s in the House!

🌟 A Tail-Wagging Thank You

To every dog who’s ever struck a pose, every human who’s trusted us with their furry family member, and every rescue who’s let us tell their story—you’re the reason we do this. We may be the ones holding the camera, but you’re the ones who make the magic happen.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of 2025 brings. If you haven’t booked your session yet, consider this your sign (a very shiny, award-winning one). 😉
