Portraits celebrating the dogs who bring joy into our lives every single day.

The Joybringer Project

Amid the responsibilities, deadlines, interruptions, and downright busyness of everyday life, there is one constant you can always count on: your dog.

He greets you with joy, and offers comfort, laughter, and unconditional companionship.

The Joybringer Project is a limited-time dog portrait experience created to honor your dog and serve as a reminder that even in a noisy world, there is joy.

Your dog’s story is worth sharing!

At the completion of the project, your dog’s story and framed artwork will be featured in a public gallery exhibition. Join me and fellow dog lovers to connect and celebrate!

After the event, take your artwork home to enjoy every day.

As one of our featured Joybringers, you’ll receive:

  • Planning consultation to design your portrait session

  • Relaxed portrait session in my private indoor studio

    …and

  • A framed wall portrait to take home and cherish!

A decade of dogs

In 2016, Megan Murray Photography began with one simple focus: photographing dogs just as they are.

Ten years later, this project returns to where it all began: celebrating the dogs who stand by us through the ups and downs of life, bringing joy, comfort, and laughter every day.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your dogs’ stories for ten years, and cheers to ten more!

  • Absolutely. Training is not required. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. With patience, treats, and a little space, we’re able to create beautiful portraits.

    If needed, we can use a leash and remove it during retouching.

  • Joybringers are photographed in my private indoor studio, located at 1907 Sabine St, 77007. The studio provides a calm, controlled environment ideal for creating timeless dog portraits.

    Outdoor or in-home sessions are also available as an upgrade. You can explore examples of each in the dog photography portfolio.

  • Yes. Each Joybringer session includes up to two subjects. You’re welcome to upgrade your session to include additional dogs and family members if you’d like. See more examples of family portraits.

  • As part of The Joybringer Project, you’ll receive a framed wall portrait of your dog. This piece will be displayed in the gallery exhibition and available for you to take home after the event.

    You’ll also have the option to purchase additional digital files and printed artwork such as albums, desktop portraits, and additional framed wall pieces.

  • Final details are still in the works, but it’s planned for fall 2026 in Houston.
