Welcome to RBL Photography, where I transform your beloved pets into star-studded subjects of stunning photographs. Founded by Shannon McDavid, a passionate pet lover and skilled photographer, my mission is to capture the unique personalities and irreplaceable moments of your furry, feathered, or scaly companions.

My journey into pet photography began with a simple love for animals and a fascination with capturing their unique personalities through the lens. I’ve been a volunteer with PAWS Chicago animal shelter for over 6 years and began to realize capturing high-quality, engaging photographs of shelter animals is a crucial tool in helping these animals find their forever homes. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a passion, and today, I’m thrilled to be doing what I love every day.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me spending quality time with my two golden retrievers, exploring the world, or enjoying a good concert. I believe in making each photo session as enjoyable and stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners. My approach is to create a relaxed and playful environment where your pet feels comfortable and can shine naturally.

At RBL Photography, we offer a range of services tailored to suit your needs, from playful outdoor shoots to cute indoor studio portraits. I pride myself on creating an atmosphere where pets can be themselves, leading to natural, candid shots that truly reflect their character.

Every photo session is a collaborative experience. I work closely with you to understand your vision and preferences, ensuring that the final images are a perfect reflection of your pet’s unique charm. Whether you’re looking for a timeless portrait, a whimsical scene, or a collection of candid moments, I have the skills and creativity to deliver beautiful results.

I believe that every pet deserves to be celebrated, and my goal is to provide you with photographs that you’ll cherish for years to come. Let us help you create lasting memories of your beloved companion.

Thank you for considering RBL Photography. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and start capturing those precious moments.

Warmest regards,

Shannon McDavid
