CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FURRY KIND, LLC
CLERMONT, FLORIDA

Close Encounters of the Furry Kind, LLC is a distinguished family-owned stock photo agency specializing in images featuring dogs and puppies for over three decades. Our extensive library includes hundreds of thousands of high-quality photos encompassing cats and other domestic animals as well. Known for our deep expertise with canines, we ensure that each image reflects exceptional artistry and quality. In recent years, we have transitioned to a new website platform, diligently resolving technical issues while updating our image collections. The project involves meticulous color correction, editing, and rescanning to maintain the high standards associated with our brand. To ensure only top-quality images are available online, we avoid showcasing any that do not accurately represent our original work. Our rich history began in 1988 as a dog grooming business in Baltimore, MD, under the original name Jeannie Kidd's Furry Encounters, later reborn as a photography venture when Jeannine E. Harrison redirected her passion into professional animal photography. By 1991, Jeannine's work was featured in Dog Fancy magazine, marking a foundational milestone for our agency. The journey progressed significantly with the partnership of Bane Harrison in 1993, whose experiences and expertise further propelled the business. In 1998, both Jeannine and Bane dedicated themselves full-time to their shared vision, leading to sustained growth and expansion into central Florida. Our operations now include not only photography but also in-home pet sitting services. Beyond the business, Close Encounters of the Furry Kind embraces its mission to share their artistic talents globally by delivering motivational messages through the photographic arts. Their family continues to shape and uphold the company's legacy, residing in Clermont, Florida with their loyal pets and cherished children. Our ethos of quality and integrity combined with our personal touch sets us apart. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, Close Encounters is an enduring symbol within the industry for those seeking captivating imagery that resonates long after they've seen it.
