I took my 3 dogs to Anne to have their pictures taken. Two of my dogs were very old and I wanted some good pictures of them. I've included the dogs in family photos before, but never got a good photo of all of them together. The pictures that Anne did were fabulous! She truly captured the individual personalities of each dog. She spent time getting to know them and interacting with the. She shot photos from all angles, frequently sitting or lying on the floor to get the perfect shot. My 2 small dogs, who were 16 and 18, passed away within a year after the photos were taken. I am so glad to have Anne's photos of them; they are so much better than any snapshot I had taken. Anne was wonderful about ordering as well. After each dog passed away, I went back and ordered additional photos of them. Anne was always very accommodating to my needs. Can't wait to have pictures with the new dog!

Anne Ledbetter is one of us with a twist....she is an artist....Her photographs reflect artistry.
Traditional portraits can be done by any studio photographer, including Anne, but her gift lies in capturing your individuality, strengths and reflective beauty.

Anne puts everyone at ease. You don't feel like you are posing for a picture, you just feel like you are at home. That is how she captures the comfortable feeling you see in her photographs. Her spontaneity and inventiveness help to create images that are unlike the standard portrait, giving the customer more choices when it comes to deciding on the look they like best. She is great with families, too. Her patience helps kids feel at ease, and her ability to be silly at just the right time creates those wonderful expressions that parents love. Every year, people tell us how much they look forward to our holiday pictures!

Anne photographed me in my wedding dress and again while I was pregnant. Being an artist and an art teacher, I see a LOT of art. I have a good sense of what I like in a composition. Therefore, when I arrived at Anne�s studio, I already had an idea about what I was looking for in these portraits. Anne worked with me to get the results that I wanted and added her own thoughts for some wonderful shots. She is very patient and has a plethora of equipment for various lighting effects. I think Anne can make anyone feel comfortable in her studio. What I like most about working with Anne is her sense of humor and her keen eye for the unique and unusual. She knows how to draw the viewer into her photographs with creativity that is both clever and subtle.

Anne puts everyone at ease. As a result we had a lot of fun during our photo shoot. She has a unique perspective, using camera techniques and angles which well captured the bond we share with our wonderful packmate, Elle.

Anne assembled a beautiful book of pictures I selected from ones she shot of my one-and-a-half-year-old grandchild alone, with his parents and with my husband and me. Through the quality of Anne's fast cameras, she caught numerous candid poses reflecting many delightful aspects of the baby's personality. The pages of the book are assembled artfully and imaginatively, using photos of various sizes in a lively format, some in color, others in black and white. The album will be treasured by our family for generations.

Anne was wonderful with my dog Bogey. During the photo shoot, she spent a lot of time with him and gave him a chance to really show off his personality. The most magnificent aspect about Anne's talent is that she was able to capture Bogey's best and cutest expressions no one has ever been able to capture. Those are my favorite photos and I will cherish them forever.

Anne has the uncanny ability to take incredible pictures of even the most unphotogenic subjects! My dog Harley's health was declining rapidly so I wanted Anne to take a portrait photo of him. Harley was tired and a bit uncooperative, yet Anne was able to capture his true essence and personality in every single picture she took. Her skill and talent are amazing - she is a brilliant artist. The day after the photo shoot Harley went to sleep forever, but thanks to Anne I have several wonderful pictures that serve as constant reminders of what a handsome, sweet and loving dog he was.

Suki and Luci - my "girls" - and I spent an hour and a half in Anne's convenient in-house studio and she captured the most wonderful moments with her camera. I can't believe the dogs actually stayed still in that many poses; I'm sure that was Anne's magic! I bought a framed wall picture and a wonderful book that will be a treasured keepsake. There was no pressure to buy the photos and other products but how could you not - one picture was better than the next!

I decided it would be a good idea to have Anne photograph my two dogs, Ace & Sam last year and I was not disappointed. Anne was great with the dogs; she took awesome action photos that represented them best: running....Ace chases a ball while Sam chases Ace. She also got some great individual still photos of Sam & Ace capturing their different facial expressions .
Anne has an ability to ease the dogs fears/curiosity of the camera while also taking amazing pictures of the dogs in their element. I was extremely impressed & pleased with the photos Anne took. The pictures look great framed in my living room and they also made great Christmas gift.
I highly recommend Anne to anyone that wants professional keep-sakes of their four legged friends

Anne adapts well to any unique photography situation! I had some special thoughts and requests, and she came though with flying colors. The photos she took are my most prized possessions because she captured the heart and soul of my only family, my beloved dogs. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to capture a special moment or loved one!

I took my 12 year old English Springer spaniel, Gabby, to be professionally photographed on the recommendation of a good friend. I saw photos Anne had produced of my friends two dogs and they were cute, dear, and funny. She certainly grabbed the personality of the dog in ways that any person could gravitate toward. I didn't know what to expect of my "old girl" as she pretty much just lays at me feet these days. Anne was both patient and gentle and caught some really great expressions on Gabby's face. I treasure these photos and have them in honored places around the home. The only charmingly disgruntle comments I heard were from my children who wanted to know why I didn't have their new photos professionally taken and placed around the home!
Thank you Anne, for giving me beautiful photos that captured Gabby's loving, loyal, peaceful nature.

Anne Ledbetter is a fantastic photographer and truly a photographic artist. She took pictures of me for
use in marketing literature and promotion material and I was very pleased. Anne is wonderful to work with
her cooperative guidance regarding posing and lighting were some of the many ways that made me feel comfortable and the resulting photos so terrific. I will definitely call upon her again for future photographic needs.

We saw an exhibit of pet photos by Anne at the local coffee shop and were so impressed by the way Anne captures the personalities of her subjects that we used her for photos of our Real Estate Team that were used in print ads. She was so laid back and easy to work with, and she took as much time as we needed to get the right shot. At the time, I didn't think our bulldog was cooperating enough for her to get good pictures, but somehow, Anne was able to get great angles and expressions that made it hard to pick just one picture! Her calm nature makes her a natural for animal photography, and her creativity makes every picture unique."

Anne did an amazing job photographing my wedding. I am so very happy she was there to capture so many moments that are now preserved through her photography. Anne incorporated her artistic talents in the pictures she shot and I truly appreciate that. I will cherish Anne's work for years to come!

Cats have a reputation of being "finicky." Although my husband and I certainly think our three are special, I would imagine they are a photographer's worst nightmare. But, our cats are part of our family, and I thought that a professionally constructed photo collage of our family would be a creative and fun fortieth birthday present for my husband. As a professional in the whole sense of the word, Anne expertly captured the three cats into 9 different photographs. The photo shoot took several hours, in part because we had to lure the cats into a central area. Even though this task was difficult, Anne was strategically using different lenses, different angles, different amounts of light, and of course many cat treats to position them just right. The final piece was a really dramatic display of artistic expertise that I was very proud to give as a gift. I would also emphasize Anne's ease in working with animals - she is extremely patient and also very flexible during the photo shoot. Working with Anne after the photo shoot to put together the final result was also very easy - I trust her implicitly to put together a beautiful final product.

Anne's work is amazing and working with her was always a very enjoyable and fun time. She really had a way of capturing our son's personality. We purchased the baby's first year package and I remember showing up for our first session. Our son wasn't smiling and didn't seem to be in the right photographing mood when we got there. Anne realized things weren't working for our son and suggested we try another time. It was apparant how much she is in tune with her clients and really wants the best experience for everyone involved. Anne has a very creative style and is not into background props, our son was the main focus of the picture.

I have 3 rambunctious dogs who never keep still and yet Anne was able to calmly gather their attention to take some of the cutest pictures ever - so good in fact that we ended up using them for our 2008 Holiday Card and enlarging another for our home. Anne is unquestionably creative, professional and a joy to work with

Anne was so easy to work with on my PR Photo. She is fun and relaxed which made the experience collaborative. I loved being able to review the photos right there as they were being taken. It didn't take us long to get some great shots with multiple backgrounds so it was much faster than I expected. I'm looking forward to going back with my family and getting another portrait done.

Anne Ledbetter's work speaks volumes for itself. My two Search and Rescue trained Australian Shepherds were photographed by Anne. Needless to say, both my dogs were very active and hard to catch together in one shot. One was just a pup at the time. Anne was very patient and kept working to get just the right shot, even as I was wearing thin with trying to gain some cooperation from the energetic herd! Not only did Anne get a great shot, she managed to take several awesome photos�.making it hard for me to decide which shots I liked the most�.her talent and skill captured the character and soul I see and love every day. The blue-eyed Aussies were smiling.
Thanks Anne�.I love your work!
