In northwest Calgary, Barking Mad Photography has built a perfect 5.0 rating around photographer Courtney, with reviews reflecting genuine versatility spanning in-home sessions, milestone birthday celebrations, and even professional event work engaging directly with the public. One long-term client describes multiple sessions with their dog Maggie over time, spanning both seasonal Christmas photography and special occasions, consistently praising the beautiful, reliable quality of results across that repeated relationship.
Home-based sessions draw specific practical praise as well: one reviewer describes booking a session for their dog Lucy just before her thirteenth birthday, noting the straightforward booking process and Courtney’s punctual, personable, and professional conduct arriving directly at their home, a convenient format for senior dogs or households preferring the comfort of a familiar environment over a studio visit. Multi-dog households report similarly strong satisfaction, with one reviewer describing genuine difficulty narrowing down favourites from the full set of images Courtney captured of their pups, a good problem reflecting consistently strong results across an entire session rather than just one or two standout shots.
Beyond personal pet photography, Courtney’s professional range extends into public-facing event work as well: one reviewer describes hiring her specifically for a pet-focused public event, praising her professional, friendly engagement with both the animals present and the human guests attending, a genuinely different skill set than one-on-one home sessions, requiring comfort working in a busier, less controlled environment while still delivering quality results. That same reviewer confirms plans to rehire her for future events, a strong practical signal of satisfaction beyond the review itself.
Communication throughout the process draws consistent praise as well, with reviewers describing Courtney as reliably communicative from initial booking through final delivery, paired with genuine patience working with dogs who may not naturally cooperate for extended photography sessions.
For Doggy Deets users, Barking Mad Photography stands out as a versatile Calgary choice, comfortable with both intimate in-home sessions for milestone occasions and larger public pet events, backed by a perfect rating and consistent praise for reliability, patience, and genuine skill across a range of formats.
