The McCartneys Dog Photography

Butch has been photographing dogs since 2003, and travels the country to find them! We are Butch and Kelsy McCartney, a husband and wife photography team.

Butch has been photographing a dog’s personality since 2004, and travels all over the country to find them! Photographing dogs started for Butch after some encouragement from his Mom to set up at his first dog show in Louisville, KY. Being around everything dogs has been a part of growing up, as Butch’s Dad built a career from drawing caricatures of every breed imaginable and setting up at dog sho

ws across the country. Your dog’s personality is something to behold. To be remembered. To be hung on the wall along with every other member of your family! We want you to look at your dogs photographs and instantly see their personality and have that put a smile on your face from ear to ear!

I think I could have thrown an entire steak 🥩 and Kira the Basset Hound would have been all over it! 😅😋

She took her portrait session very seriously, showing me all her best sides, skills, and even showed off what it looks like when she shakes her entire body!

Hoping these Sunday funnies give you a smile! 🐶📸

A bts look at what goes into our Junior Showmanship Portrait Project ✨

I feel fortunate to have had Brianna, Easton, Katryna & Dani as my first junior handlers to participate in this new project. They were so much fun to create with! 📸

Junior Handling is very important to the future of dog show conformation. The future is bright, and my goal is to shine a light on this arena at every show I attend. Thank you to the Waukesha Kennel Club and the Great Lakes Junior Showmanship Event for being open to this little idea of mine!

My next stop is the Bluegrass Classic Dog Show Cluster in Lexington, KY. Stay tuned for available times during the show for these portraits!

Please help me send all the loving thoughts that you can to our friends at the Humane Society of Marathon County ❤🐈 They just said goodbye to their friend and beloved Butterscotch.

On a personal note, over many years Butterscotch would walk over to make sure I was giving all the animals at the Humane Society who needed new portraits my absolute best. That, or he was biding his time until he could pop in the studio and show everyone how it's done ✨ Probably both ❤

Butterscotch was loved by so many, and he will be greatly missed 🌈

🚨COMING SOON!!🚨

I’ve been thinking about a new portrait project for months. A few weeks ago at the Waukesha Kennel Club Summer Splash Dog Show, I decided to just GO FOR IT! 📸

Since I was 10 years old, I've attended dog shows – and we don't need to mention how many years that is! 🫠 One thing has always remained constant… Junior Handlers are the ones who take the reins and keep the Dog Show world running.

The details are coming together in real time, but I'm excited to unveil the first 4 Junior Handlers featured in this project… SOON! ✨✨✨

For now, get excited!! This will be a regular feature from each dog show that I attend with my studio.
