Lisa Deneau
I'm a Brooklyn-based photographer. I photograph animals and the people who love them.
What I'm after is the part that doesn't need words — a hand that stays resting on a dog's back, a look held a second longer than necessary, the greeting at the door that nearly knocks you over. Every animal shows love differently. Most of my work is a matter of being close enough to see it and quiet enough not to interrupt.
In 2026 my portrait "He Chose Me" was named Best in Show at the AKC Museum of the Dog's juried art competition in Manhattan — chosen by the museum's visitors.
Testimonials
”
My wife, Anna, and I had the joy of having our portraits taken with our beloved 14-year-old dog, Ollie, by Lisa. Having worked in the photo industry for nearly 20 years, I’m far more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. But Lisa’s approach to portraiture is filled with kindness and understanding, making the experience truly special. Shortly after our shoot, Ollie passed away. Lisa’s photographs are a beautiful reminder of the love we shared with him. Thank you, Lisa!

Lisa was great to work with. My dog can be nervous, and Lisa was empathetic and understood when we needed to move and try something different. The photos she captured are truly special.

I’m so grateful to have these wonderful photos of Nellie with me, my three kids, and four grandkids. It was just what I needed since Nellie had been ill for some time. The session was a bit wild, but Lisa managed to capture it all, getting a whole collection of great shots. These photos are such a treasure, especially since Nellie passed away not long after our session. I’ll always be thankful for these memories.

I had two photo shoots with Lisa—once with my dog Lily, and a second with my family and two dogs. The photos turned out amazing, and Lisa was a joy to spend time with. She was patient with my easily distracted dog, who wanted to chase every squirrel! I’m grateful for the professional pictures Lisa took; they’re so much better than what I had on my phone. I have three of Lisa’s photos framed on my living room wall!
