Meet the Photographer Behind the Lens

Hi, I’m Cory Lehman, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. The bond we share with them is deep, irreplaceable, and far too short. That’s why I do what I do.

My love for animals has been with me my whole life, but it wasn’t until I lost my own dog that I truly understood the power of a photograph. Years before he passed, a friend captured pictures of us together, and today, those images mean everything to me. They keep his memory alive, reminding me of his personality, his quirks, and the love we shared. That’s the feeling I want to give to every pet owner I work with—warmth, joy, and a way to hold onto their pet’s story forever.

My approach to photography is simple: I let pets be themselves. I don’t force poses or push them into uncomfortable situations. Instead, I work with their personality—whether they’re goofy, shy, energetic, or calm—so that every photo captures their true essence. I stay patient, let them set the pace, and create a relaxed environment where their unique spirit shines.

If you’re looking for photos that don’t just show what your pet looks like but capture who they are, I’d love to work with you. Let’s create images that make you smile, laugh, and feel the love you have for your pet—today and for years to come.
