Megan Purtell Photography Specializing in pet and family portrait photography My goal is to create beautiful memories for you to enjoy every day.

Scheduling a Signature Session is a great starting point but many people don't do anything with their images. After one day of fame on Facebook and Instagram, the photos are buried somewhere on our phones or forgotten on a USB in a drawer. A photo session is an investment in your family and it is my goal that your family memories are displayed in your home - for you, your children, and everyone to

enjoy. Have your house tell a story made from beautiful memories and artwork that actually means something to you. You will walk by every day, some days you may pause, smile and go right back to that moment. The boutique model at Megan Purtell Photography is about crafting a custom and personalized experience for every single client.

🍂 October is just around the corner... and so is my trip to Ireland! 🍀

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾📸

To the goofy ones, the graceful ones, the professional treat collectors, the couch potatoes, the adventure buddies, and the dogs who somehow manage to steal every single photo…

Today is for YOU. ❤️

One of my favorite things about photographing dogs is capturing the little things that make them 'them' — the head tilt, the ridiculous grin, the soulful eyes, the happy ears, and all those quirks you never want to forget.

Because they may not be with us forever, but we can hold onto the memories forever. 🐶✨

Happy National Dog Day to all the good boys, good girls, and very spoiled pups out there!

Tell me in the comments which personality fits your dog! 👇🐾

Meet Lucky, August 2025’s Breed of the Month Winner!
(Read all about the winner here: https://bit.ly/4zEpDvd )

Tiny paws. A huge personality. And a heart that seems to understand exactly what his person needs.

Lucky is a black and white Pomeranian who captured our hearts with his incredible story. From comforting his mom after nightmares and staying by her side through the loss of her father, to letting nervous children gain the confidence to pet him, Lucky has a remarkable ability to bring comfort and happiness wherever he goes.

And then there’s his determination… including the time his mom discovered her tiny 2½-pound puppy had figured out how to climb furniture like a rock climber just so he could sit in her chair!

Now, Lucky’s beautiful portraits have a place of honor in his home as a stunning metal Wall Art collage.

I’m so excited to share his story, along with a little history about Pomeranians and what makes this breed so special.

🐾✨ Our Breed of the Month Yorkies Are Absolutely Adorable! ✨🐾

Our Breed of the Month spotlight was filled with some seriously paw-some pups this month—and they’re ALL Yorkshire Terriers! 💙🐶

A huge THANK YOU to every pup (and their humans!) who applied. You brought the fluff, the personality, the tiny-but-mighty attitudes, and SO much cuteness. 🥹📸

Keep those tails wagging, Yorkies—you’re all paw-sitively fabulous! 🐕✨

👀 Sneak Peek!! 👀

This moment is with Rumble and her mom, Tanya.

I absolutely love when my clients become friends along the way. I first met Tanya and her dogs, Rumble and Derby, almost four years ago, and since then, we’ve created some truly epic art together.

Rumble has even had the honor of being one of my dog models for several photography competitions, so she’s no stranger to being in front of my camera. 📸 But there’s something extra special about photographing her with Tanya.

The way Rumble looks at her mom says everything. The love. The trust. The comfort. That beautiful connection that exists between a dog and the person who means the world to them. 💞

Those are the moments I love capturing most. Not just what your dog looks like, but the relationship you share and the story behind it.

I can’t wait to share more from this beautiful session with these two.
