Elke Vogelsang has one of the coolest photography jobs out there. This artist is one of the few pet photographers on Instagram who can honestly say they professionally specialize in "dog portraiture."

Vieler's most recent collection, which features dogs as they are about to catch a treat, could bring a smile to anyone's face.

Animal lover extraordinaire Greg Murray has a lot of fans, and for good reason. His animal portraits are incredibly lighthearted and adorable, not to mention pretty telling about the animal's personality.

It's so hard not to smile when you see Murray's work. That's what makes him one of the better pet photographers on Instagram, and why he's worked with major names like Elle, HuffPo, and more.

Austria-based Pössl Isabell could easily pass for one of the best nature photographers on Instagram. However, the large amount of dogs and other pets that have been featured in the feed show that Isabell's true interest is pet photography.

Beautiful, dreamy photos featuring tons of flowers and verdant greenery are what viewers should expect. The sheer serenity you get from looking at these photos is what makes them great.

If you're a fan of the "dreamy, perfect puppy" look that Isabell has, you're also going to love Natalie Große. Based out of Germany, Natalie loves to show the beautiful and graceful side of pet ownership.

Unlike other pet photographers on Instagram, Natalie does not limit herself to a single species. You'll find bunnies, horses, dogs, cats, and more on this feed!

Heike Willers is one of Germany's top dog and horse photographers, and it's not difficult to see why. Every shot she takes is one that is meticulously planned and brings out the unique personality of the animal that's modeling for her.

Jasmin Hummer really takes things a little bit beyond the typical "cute" look that most pet photographers on Instagram do. Rather than focusing in on making a pupper look cute, she works to turn pets into high art.

Beautiful color combinations, great framing, and absolutely breathtaking shots are what make Hummer's work a must-see. Once in a while, you'll see owners pose alongside the pups. From what we see, Hummer could also be one of the best portrait photographers on Instagram if she wanted to be.

Much of Stephanie Palm's Instagram account is filled with an ode to her two little Dachshunds, and to a point, it's pretty clear where her inspiration came from. She really, truly, loves her two dogs—and their little buddies too!

A true ode to man's best friend if we've ever seen one, any fan of tiny dogs will find Palm's work to be heartwarming and fun.

Severin Klisch is a true nature lover, and to a point, uses that love of everything living and green to help bolster his pet photography work. Everything about Klisch's work gives you a cozy, warm vibe—and admittedly, a lot of that is due to the subject matter.

That being said, this is one of the cutest pet photography Instagrams you can find.

Okay, admittedly, this isn't the name of the photographer who runs this adorable account. It's actually the names of the dogs that are featured in this absolutely heartwarming "slice of life" photography account.

That being said, there's a lot of awesome candid shots of cute puppies—all of which are incredibly high-quality. Even if it's not *technically* a professional account, you'll still want to follow this cute crew regardless.

Olivia Church is not only one of the more popular pet photographers on Instagram; she's also an aspiring pet trainer, too. Perhaps that's why she's so good at getting both dogs and cats to pose on camera without issue? We don't know her secret.

Once in a while, you'll see a photograph that looks so wholesome, you'll immediately feel like all is right with the world. Such is the mood that Ashley Asker conjures with her pet photography—as well as her occasional baby photography.

You might be happy to hear that Koppel's work isn't limited to dogs, nor does it always have fashion as part of it. All of her work, though, does involve a similar theme: a good cause!

She's the Nevada Humane Society's photographer, and yes, she's an active adoption advocate!
