Capturing the Soul of Your Best Friend: Pet Photography in Ponte Vedra Beach
There is a special kind of magic in a cold nose, a wagging tail, and the way they look at you like you’re the entire world.

At Pug Mug Photo, we don't just take pictures; we capture the heartbeat of your family.
Whether they’re Zooming through the sand at Jax Beach, Mickler’s Landing Beach or maybe snuggling on your sofa at home in Jacksonville, your fur baby’s life is a story worth telling and a memory worth keeping forever.
Inspired by Love, Driven by Legacy...
Our passion for pet portraits is deeply personal. Having had to say said goodbye to our sweet rescue pugs, Spanky (at age 16½) and Bodie (at 15). Navigating that loss reminded us that while our pets’ lives are far too short, a beautiful photograph keeps their spirit vibrant forever.
Pug Mug Photo is proud to be powered by Cottrell Photographers, bringing professional-grade artistry to the playful world of pets. Because we know how much these memories mean, we’ve designed our sessions to be joyful, stress-free, and incredibly affordable.
Art That Fits Your Life (and Your Budget)
You deserve stunning wall art of your “good girl/boy” or a custom photo book of your “prince or princess" without the "big studio" stress. We put you in the driver's seat, allowing you to invest in what matters most to you. From digital files for your Instagram to heirloom-quality canvases. View and select your favorite photos from your complimentary online gallery! We ensure your budget never limits the quality of your memories.
Just look at our sessions with Bodie and Spanky and of course our recent rescues Banksy and Chrissy—those photos aren't just files on a hard drive; they are the wall art, calendars, books, and portraits that turn our house into a home.

About Us...
It started with a dream of a single pug. Sixteen years ago, that dream became a reality when we rescued Bodie from Florida-Georgia Pug Rescue. We didn't just gain a pet; we gained a "canine comedian" who introduced us to a world of lifelong friendships, laughter, and a deep-seated mission to give back.
A Legacy of Love: Spanky and the "Blind But Not" Mission
Our hearts grew when we adopted Spanky, a 10-year-old blind senior. Despite the "bumpy ride" of brotherly jealousy at first, Spanky and Bodie became inseparable icons. Their adventures on Instagram (@bodiespanky) reached over 38,000 followers, but more importantly, they inspired us to launch Blind But Not and later Pug Mug Photo.
Through self-taught sewing and knitting creating pet blankets, pet pillows and handmade pug scarves, we set out to thank the rescue community. What started as a small goal has blossomed into over $84,000 raised for pug rescues, $1,000 at a time.
Meet the Current Crew: Banksy & Christopher Robin
The pug love continues today with our two newest Florida - Georgia Pug Rescue family members:
- Banksy: Our 10-year-old rescue who is currently living his absolute best life, proving that "senior" just means more seasoned at snuggling.
- Christopher Robin (Chrissy): Our 12-month-old bundle of energy who keeps us on our toes every single day.
