Julie, thank you again for the wonderful pictures of my babies! I think my parents thought I was a little crazy when I told them how much I spent, but once they saw the video and pictures they understood. My pets won’t live forever, but I will always have these pictures and memories to cherish! The more I look at that one picture of Cheyenne the more I really love it. It’s just so her! The first thing my cousin said was how great it would look on a wall in my house. I was thinking the same thing! I could take a thousand pictures of them, but none would ever capture what you did in that one session!

Julie’s photographs of our precious pooch – a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Tuscany — far surpassed my expectations. She captured her personality, her sweet demeanor, and her soft and trusting eyes perfectly. Plus, Tuscany loved the photo shoot! Julie made her feel totally at ease, and it really came through in the photos. On top of all that, we received our photos in record time, delivered to my office, with dog treats for our baby. Julie is the consummate professional who truly loves dogs, and it shows!

2 words - Simple awesome!! Julie is a great photographer and loves her work. She loves animals and it comes out in her beautiful photos. I moved to Georgia, but still make an annual trip up to Knoxville, to have her take my picture of me and my dogs. She is down to earth and just wonderful.. I highly recommend her from a professional perspective, plus personally, as well.

Julie made our first professional photography sitting as a family a delight! We smiled, laughed and had a great time. She knew just how long Baby could tolerate the outfit changes, posing, etc. She got the best from a boy who was not entirely convinced he wanted to have his photo taken. Thanks, Julie!

Julie Poole is my favorite pet photographer! She can capture you and your pets in the perfect pose, even if you have cats! LOL You rock!!! ~Karl with a K

We just love the pictures that Julie did with our fur babies. This is the first portrait we have had done with the 3 of them. The color was gorgeous and we received so many compliments on them. Everyone that we sent them to thought they were great. We had seen the work she had done with the Young Williams Animal Center pets and jumped at the chance to have ours made. ~Susan and Joe Marti, Corryton, TN

Julie,

I love the photos of DunKen that you took. Even though he was nervous and a bit skittish you were able to capture his personality perfectly. I’ve always loved his bright eyed eager look and it is in the pictures. I also plan to eventually purchase some of the prints that I didn’t get originally. They were all so beautiful that I had a hard time picking and choosing. You do a great job with our fur babies.

We had a great time with Julie while she was photographing our Boston Terriers, Jasmine and Viper. Jasmine is usually shy with strangers and warms up slowly. That’s part of the reason that we have never had their photo done before. Both dogs instantly took to Julie and decided that she was their new best friend. They were following her all over the studio. She got some great shots of them, and if the peak at her camera is any indication of what the photos will actually look like, I don’t know how I’m going to choose because I’m going to want all of them!I was not familiar with Julie until I saw an ad saying that she was helping out the Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee by donating the session fee for the photos. That was the deciding factor on getting the photos done. Someone that makes such beautiful pictures and memories AND helps out animals in need is hard to come by. I’m very glad that we have found Julie and we will be calling on her in the future to help us capture new experiences with our pups that will become great memories. I’m recommending her to all animal lovers that I meet. Thanks! ~Tracy Dedrick

I couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful experience and drop dead gorgeous photos! Your patience with our five dogs made the experience a joy – and to have those precious dogs memorialized through your art is a gift to our family. I especially like your commitment to “give back” through your charity work. I am so touched by your selflessness and good humor – and of course the outstanding photos!

We thoroughly enjoyed the entire process. It was so much fun spending the day with Julie and the resulting photographs were fabulous. She is amazing with children and animals! I will certainly call on Julie again in the future!

Our Christmas portraits were great! You really captured the ‘essence’ of the dogs, and made us look great too!! Thank you so much!!

My photo session with Julie was so wonderful. Not only is she great to work with (both humans and doggies) J but her workis fantastic. I have recommended several people to her already. Her portraits are all over my house. I even brought some into work!

The first time I went for a photo session with you I had my 2 only semi-behaved dogs. You are worked wonders! Everybody that sees the pictures says how great they are and how unbelievable it is that you could get both of them to look so good at the same time!

The second time was with my niece and nephew. A pre-teen and moody girl and a 18 month old baby. Once again I was amazed at how patient you were and how great the pictures turned out. You even sang the Spongebob song to Zack to get his attention. I don’t know many people that will sing that silly song over and over!

Working with Julie to showcase the beauty of my precious dog Bosco and capture the special bond we share has been among the most rewarding and enduring experiences of my 11 years with him. She did not just produce a stunning set of photographs; she created and documented memories for me and my family to forever celebrate the life, spirit and love of our cherished pet.

Julie thoughtfully worked with me from the initial concept for our photo shoot through the completion of a gorgeous collection of prints as a special gift for my mother. She has great artistic insight and an incomparable way of working with animals and people to let their souls shine and bring out their true essence. Our entire experience with her exceeded every expectation, and I have proudly recommended her to every animal lover I can.

Allison Cole“ “ Julie took the most amazing photos of my dog and I. I had no idea a mutt from the shelter could look this beautiful. Thank you Julie!

Melanie Klingbeil Kimball“ “ She captures the soul of the subject, she touches a place in us, the viewer whether it be a black and white shot of a dog bearing its heart, a lovely child, aw;her puppy shots are off the chart, a cc in its unique beauty, the power and elegance of a horse, a whippet with grace and muscle in full gallop or standing still, the essence is what she reaches in her photography of her subjects. She goes beyond the page and turns it to an out of the box creative ride, choose a pro, choose Julie!

Melissa Lee “ “ My diva dog, Eleanor Olivia Eudora Harper, is not the easiest of ladies to photograph, but Julie got the BEST shots EVER of her! Julie just has a way with animals and is the only person I’d trust wedding, birth, doggie photos to. And she supports great causes as well.

Vicky Kite“ “ What started as a fun farm shoot turned into redecorating my house so that Julie’s photographs could be show pieces. I’m not done yet, but so far I have completely gutted a guest bedroom (paint, floors and baseboards) for a photo of Ginger (28 year old walking horse). I bought a new couch so I could sit comfortably and gaze upon a canvas print of Ben (big draft horse) that is hanging above my new tv armoir ( because I couldn’t hang that beautiful picture of Ben over something like a tv, I mean really!)

Lori Woods“ “ Julie is a talented and amazing photographer…she has photographed my engagement, wedding, horses, dogs and baby daughter. She captures the best moments in every part of my life. The pictures are truly a piece of art and never are the “cookie” cutter type pictures. I recommend her to everybody that I know!

Jenny Myers

“ “ Julie is amazing! Very talented photographer and wonderful person to know. She has done children and pets for me. The hardest part of the whole experience was picking from all of the great pictures she got!

Donna L King

“ “ Rarely do I encounter a person who can truly “capture” the personality of the pets(s) that they are photographing. As I flip through the various shots of animals that you have photographed I am amazed at how truly gifted and talented you are. I am quite certain that your photographs of pets bring much joy to the pet’s owners! Bravo Julie!

Meghan Anderson

“ “ Amazing photographer. I’ve watched Julie over the years and her work is always very unique and of the highest quality. Someday, if I am ever in Knoxville I’ll use her for certain!

Cathy Richmond-Williams

“ “ I have been using Julie for years to do photographs of my pets and kids. It’s more then just a picture, it’s a work of art. Even when the clients aren’t being cooperative there are still awesome photos. And my kids & pets are rarely totally cooperative.

Julie, Julie, Julie
Poolie, poolie, poolie.
Best darn photographer
that I ever did see.
Love the pictures
of my three little wee-nies!
Dogs, that is…
Who do you think I is?

Laura Hamilton

“ “ Julie takes the most amazing pictures and truly captured the “real” personality of my two dogs. Of all the pictures I’ve ever taken on my own, I have never gotten what she did in the one session I had with her. I treasure the pictures she took and can’t wait to go back for more!

Margaret Norkett

“ “ Julie’s lens captures every emotion whether human or animal. Her talent is unparalleled in my experience with photographers. You can’t look at one of Julie’s pictures and not be moved by what you see. I eagerly go from photo to photo whenever I find a group of them anywhere on the web.

Ashley Bruckner Forster

“ “ Julie has such a wonderful eye for capturing the best moments of kids and animals in the most natural way possible. I live in New Jersey and visit my parents in Knoxville only a couple times a year, and each time make it a point to get my baby daughter’s photos taken by Julie. I only wish my beagle could make the trip to get his picture taken too!

Christene ‘Chris’ Durance-Watkins

“ “ Julie is a natural photographer!! I use a lot of her photos on my client websites. She is easy to work with, very flexible and accommodating! Me and my dogs love her lens! A true talent!

Brooke Moffatt“ “ Julie is an absolutely amazing photographer! I think photographing animals is one of the toughest jobs around and she makes it look effortless! Just when you think your pets aren’t going to get a single picture worth having, Julie makes it happen! The photos are always gorgeous. She is a true professional. And my dogs think her treats aren’t half bad either! We travel from Nashville just to see her because we know that her work is unmatchable. Indoors or out, the photos are true works of art. Thanks for all your hard work. The Moffatt Greyhounds Love You!

Jane Nations

“ “ Julie takes beautiful photographs; she is very talented and a real treat to work with. She took great photos of our babies, and made the entire experience fun. There were literally no bad photos; the real challenge was in choosing just a few to use
