I love Alex and ZilkerBark. We first met Alex in 2016 and have enjoyed several sessions with him…read moreand his team. We have had a dog-only session and a couple of holiday sessions, and we have received pictures from special events at Thomlinson, Yard Bar, and Kendra Scott. We cherish the photos. Our first dog passed, but her image is still proudly displayed in our home. Alex has a fantastic talent. It is fun watching him work. Alex also gives back a ton to the dog community. If you want photos of your pups, ZilkerBark is the one to use. Thank you, Alex, for all the memories.

The pictures are amazing and they do such a great job of engaging the dogs. Our pictures look like…read morewe hired fully trained model dogs that actually smile. It's crazy how they are able to get the dogs to pose. Top notch. Amazing pics and staff. Make sure you book fast because they sell out every session.

I know I'm just adding to the pile of positive remarks about Nicole's work & manner, but it's worth…read morenoting. It's the least I could do for what she has given me. Not only is Nicole incredibly skilled with her camera and use of natural and ambient lighting (even on a sort of gray, finicky day like ours was), but she's really gifted with working with cats (and I'm sure dogs, too). We did some of the portraits inside at home, and some outside in the garden near our house. Our cat, Cleo is seldom impressed by conventional toys or noisemakers but Nicole seemed to know exactly how to get him to look interested and cooperate - plus her magical cat toys must've had kitty crack on them -- Cleo loved them way better than anything we've ever gotten him. Also, it's worth saying that Nicole's method was very relaxed and flexible. She never forced Cleo into doing this or that - she let Cleo sort of lead the way, resulting in zero tension despite the unusual circumstances (from Cleo's perspective). Cleo is notoriously un-photogenic, given that he has black fur and always seems to hate it when I point my phone or camera at him. This is one of the reasons I felt it worth it to hire a pro. Cleo is almost 14 years old as I write this review - he's still really active and fun, but he's not getting any younger. I'm so glad I finally bit the bullet and hired Nicole for Cleo's pet portrait. It was worth every cent and she was such a pleasure to work with. I really like her personality and style, and especially the beautiful photos I ended up with. I am ever grateful for her service.

Nicole's photography is unparalleled in it's style and beauty…read more As a photographer myself, it's the kind of imagery that makes me want to give up shooting pictures altogether, to bag up all my cameras and lenses in a big Hefty sack and dump them into the river. It's that good ... I recently hired Nicole to shoot portraits of my wife and pets (two dogs, Kaya and Shonee) and have to say that I am MORE than impressed with the results. Just last night I was reviewing the digital images when one of the photos really touched me. No exaggeration, my eyes were welling up with tears! There is something so special about her perspective, something so sublime about her style, that there aren't enough adjectives available to properly describe it. Beautiful. Powerful. Captivating. Expressive. Smooth. Engaging. Emotional. Exciting. Playful. Contemplative. Serene. Intriguing. Perceptive. Like the ingredients of a gourmet dish, all of these apply in different proportions, depending on the subject and the scene. I have never been a big fan of framing portraits and mounting them on the wall in my home, but this time, I'm already thinking about which images to get printed and how to frame them. Nicole's photography is art ...

I had been looking all over for someone to photograph my husband with our two pups for Christmas…read morephotos and stumbled upon Paws and Prints and am SO glad I did! Every other photographer I had contacted was either way out of my price range or did not really take photos with pets. Michele of Paws and Prints was extremely reasonably price and had some amazing photos of pets on her blog. The photo session was wild...due to my wild pups, but Michele was so patient and wonderful with them (and us!!). When we received our photos I was ecstatic. Despite them not sitting still, she somehow captured the most amazing photos of them (and us with them!!). She truly captured our personalities perfectly. I treasure them and will always contact Michele whenever we need more photos!

While searching to hire the perfect candidate to snap photos of our aging, anti-social and spoiled…read morerotten pets - we made a number of phone calls, read testimonials and considered the many on-line Pet Photographer profiles. Michelle with Paws and Prints clearly stood out from the rest. Aside from her skills, photo expertise and qualifications, she has a gentle demeanor that is polite, respectful and kindhearted and we immediately felt at ease while corresponding with her by phone and email. We agreed on the shoot-date. She showed up on time, with a smile and very excited to meet our critters! Our grumpy dogs took an instant liking to her and she was very soothing towards their old age and crankiness! She offered great ideas for poses and positions, and she was also very receptive towards ideas that we suggested. She definitely has the right flair, patience and know-how when it comes to dealing with people and their pampered pets! She has a natural love for animals, and that really makes a difference on the outcome of a pet photo-shoot. She was unquestionably the ideal person for the job!! A few days after the shoot, she delivered the photographs at the exact date as promised. We were absolutely stunned at the results! The photos she took of our dogs captured exactly what we were hoping for! Absolutely perfect and we could not be happier!! Her proficiency, talent and skills are amazing....oh, and her rates are great....unbeatable!!!!! If you are looking for a Pet Photographer, look no further. Michelle at Paws and Prints is the best that this planet has to offer.

You have such a gift with animals. I think that Cru was actually modeling! Because he is a black Springer with a little bit of white, I was worried that his face would be hard to see, but his eyes even look beautiful! You captured his sweet personality in each photograph. We love the pictures that you took with Cru and our children. They are so sweet. Our oldest daughter is going to give the picture of herself and Cru to her boyfriend. She is thrilled! I think that the two of you can actually "talk to the animals". It could have been such a stressful day if our dog and children had not felt so comfortable. We all had a fabulous time!
