I will never forget the night I met Boston based pet photographer Kaylee Greer. It was at Photoshop World 2019 in Las Vegas, and the first night they had a Special Event called The Meet-Up. Basically it was a cocktail hour for attendees at The Still in The Mirage. I am sitting there talking to my buddy Dustin Jack, and his brother Terry Jack (both of whom have been on the show) and a young lady with fire engine red hair walks in and says hi to Dustin. He immediately said “Steve! You need to get Kaylee on your show!”

Kaylee’s work is stunning, or more accurately STUNNING. I can’t stop looking at her site. You might think “it’s picture of cats and dogs, we’ve all have seen that genre before”, but here’s the thing… apparently we have not.

Kaylee is an internationally recognized private and commercial pet photographer. She has been published in major outlets, such as BARK, NatGeo WILD, Dogs Today, Huffington Post, Digital Photographer, and Bored Panda, to name a few. You can find her images in calendars, greeting cards, ad campaigns, and on packaging.

Kaylee Greer is simply the best pet photographer I have seen.

I honestly think her style, the amazing realism she gets in her images, is the result of her attitude as much as her amazing skill set. On her site there was a quote that stuck out to me that explains what I mean:

“It is my personal belief that there is more happiness glittering in the iris of a smiling puppy than there is anywhere else in the world.”

She brings that point of view to her work, and it shows. It also results in a client list that includes PetSmart Charities, Pedigree, Millers Labs, Dogswell, Kurgo, FitBark, and Canine Royalty.

Kaylee’s passion for what she does shows up in other areas as well. She leads international workshops, and has become an author, with a book coming to Amazon on Nov 10th , 2020. She even hosts the NatGeo WILD TV show Pupprazzi!

Join the amazing pet photographer Kaylee Greer and me as we dive into her image of Dobby in the Pemigewasset River, and as we discuss creating pet photos that make a splash, on this episode of Behind the Shot.
