With years of experience in the animal world, including showing in APHA, AQHA, and even AKC dog shows, I can bring a unique skillset to each session. Understanding and being able to read animal's body language and being patient will result in an amazing time.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me hiking with Pixel, hanging out with our snakes, or playing video games with my boyfriend.
Your fine art Horse and Dog Photographer
I'm Brittany...
am so excited you're here! I'm Brittany Callahan, a fine art horse and dog photographer based in Southern Illinois. My passion for photography grew after having my own session with a pet photographer. I am honored that I have the opportunity to turn people's horses and dogs into beautiful timeless art!

A Behind-The-Scenes Look
Whether it's early in the morning as the sun peaking over the trees or the beginning of the evening when the sun descends, those moments make breath taking photos.
Golden colors are just good for the soul!
Golden Hour Perfection
Horses bathed, trimmed, brushed and banded or braided manes.
Dogs freshly bathed and groomed.
It's the small details that make a photo go from good, to great.
All the details
I love getting beautifully posed photos - but my favorite are the moments between poses when clients don't think I'm looking.
A loving pat, smiling sweetly at their horse or dog, a funny moment. These are the things that are truly special and deserve to be captured.
The unscripted moments
My goal is to turn my client's horses and dogs into art they're proud to display in their homes or businesses.
I love hearing the audible gasp when someone sees their amazing portrait for the first time.
These memories are meant to be seen every day!
Delivering Artwork to clients
Brittany is incredibly talented and captured our horses beautifully. I am grateful for the memories and the wonderful photos that we utilize for marketing purposes. The speed at which Brittany delivers the photos after a session too is unlike any other photographer I have worked with in the past. You will not be disappointed!

"Brittany was an absolute delight to work with! She got pictures of my fur baby Astro and was able to get amazing shots despite Astro having other plans that day. Will definitely be hiring Brittany for more photos!"

Brittany’s work is truly exceptional. She has a talent for capturing the special bond we share with our animals through her photography and her eye and attention to detail is unmatched. Her photographs are works of art!
Beyond the skill demonstrated in her photographs, Brittany is patient, a fantastic communicator, and very accommodating; always putting her clients and their animals first.
I highly recommended Brittany; her work will far exceed you expectations.

By far the best photographer I’ve ever worked with/ used. I don’t think I could ever use anyone else again. She was so easy and flexible to work with and made the whole experience super fun. She’s a vibe. I’ve already had people tell me in the wellbred purebred community that they have never seen SUCH high quality photos. Her editing skills are top tier to give you the exact vibe you’re looking for. Cannot recommend her enough

Brittany was amazing to work with! She was incredibly patient, which is super important when handling unpredictable animals. My mare was being difficult the whole session but she reassured me that it was ok and it nothing to worry about. The photos she got of all my 4 legged babies were absolutely amazing. They were EXACTLY what I was looking for and I am so excited to have them forever. Truly a gift I will cherish forever.
I cant recommend her enough! I cant wait to have her come back for my dogs soon :)

100 percent recommend Brittany! First and foremost she is a wonderful human being, so sweet and patient! Secondly she captures your pet so incredibly. She takes the time to make you feel comfortable and get the perfect shot but yet not making it an all day engagement (I have a toddler, baby, a farm and not a lot of spare time).
Our first session I had her photograph my Bluetick Coonhound puppy who I thought would be a basket case, she made us both feel so relaxed and he was just perfect for her, she captured is personality and beauty so perfectly!
The next time she came out I tried to really stump her and had her take pictures of my sorrel mare that in my mind is not photogenic…nope…she NAILED it! My mare looked so stunning! I literally could not believe how beautifully Brittany captured her. Absolute perfection!

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Brittany for pet portraits! I knew Brittany would do amazing by just looking at her past work and being highly impressed, but she absolutely EXCEEDED all my expectations and even more! First, I was extremely impressed at how in-touch she is with dog behavior - she could tell when my pup was nervous or focused on the new environment (we were in a forest), and was able to redirect to catch her attention. She also let my dog do only what was comfortable for her ...
I was AMAZED by the photos she took. She truly captured the perfect images of my dog looking regal, curious, angelic, and just GORGEOUS. She also captured a shot I will forever cherish of my dog and I looking at each other with pure love...
