Nicole Begley Pet Photography - Cornelius, NC

Member since Nov 2019

Hi! I'm Nicole Begley, a zoological animal trainer turned pet photographer and photographic educator. I have a bunch of crazy letters that I can list after my name - M.Photog.Cr., CPP, which means that I'm a Master Photographer, Photographic Craftsman, and a Certified Professional Photographer through the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) organization. What that means for you is that you can trust me to create artwork that will stand the test of time.

In addition to capturing the character of your best friend, I am also the founder of Hair of the Dog, an online community in which I empower pet photographers to turn their dreams into reality and create successful and profitable businesses. I've also authored a book “Pet and Equine Photography for Everyone”, available on Amazon.

I'm the creator of the #selfiedog series, a travel addict, and a chocolate martini connoisseur and I share my home with my husband, two small humans, and my Puerto Rican rescue dog Zoey. Oh yes, I'm also Chief of Staff to Emma the cat.

Cat-astrophes happen! What is your cancellation policy?

PetWorks Cancellation Policy

Pet Care Professional's Own Policy
If a pet care professional has published their own cancellation or refund policy, that policy governs the refund of the service amount only. Any PetWorks fees, including the Care Coverage Fee and Pet Care Professional Cancellation Fee, are governed by this PetWorks Cancellation Policy and not by the pet care professional's policy.

Pet Parent Cancels
If the pet care professional has not published their own cancellation policy, the service amount is refundable only if the pet parent cancels at least 72 hours before the scheduled start time of the booking. Cancellations within 72 hours of the scheduled start time are non-refundable for the service amount. The Care Coverage Fee is non-refundable when a pet parent cancels, regardless of timing and regardless of whether the pet care professional has their own cancellation policy.

Pet Parent No-Show
If a pet parent does not show up for a confirmed booking, no refund will be issued for the service amount or the Care Coverage Fee.

Pet Care Professional Cancels
If a pet care professional cancels a confirmed booking, the pet parent receives a 100% refund of everything they paid, including the Care Coverage Fee. The pet care professional receives no payment for the canceled service and is charged a Pet Care Professional Cancellation Fee equal to 10% of the service amount, up to a maximum of $150. PetWorks may collect this fee by deducting it from a future payout through PetWorks or by other means if no future payout is available.

Policy in Effect at Booking
The cancellation rules that apply to a booking, including any pet care professional cancellation policy on file and the Pet Care Professional Cancellation Fee rate, are those that were in effect when the booking was confirmed.

Without pet parents, Petworks wouldn't exist. What discount do you offer our dedicated members? (e.g. 20% off their first session, etc.)

Receive a custom notepad with images from your session when you mention Petmasters at booking!

Which part of the country do you serve pets?

Charlotte, NC

What year did you begin serving pets?

2010

How did you hone your craft?

I've spent the last ten years learning from some of the most successful photographers in the industry - in fact, I still regularly invest in my continued education as we are always learning and expending our craft.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Just breathe.  Animals can easily tell when we are stressed, and that makes photographing them challenging.  Just relax, let your dog be a dog and you will capture much happier expressions. 

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

Print your photos.  Whether you choose to invest in professional pet photography or not, make sure you print some of your images so that they don't get lost in the digital clutter.
