TIME TO make this happen!

I would love to photograph your pet so please check with me regarding session availability. Because of the personal attention I give to each client, I can sadly only take a limited number of sessions each month. Sessions do tend to book in advance so please plan accordingly.

DIGITAL PLAYBOOK

Upgrade the delivery of your digital files with this unique show stopper! Upon opening your Digital Playbook, your very own custom-made slideshow begins to play on the 7-inch LCD. This will be sure to impress with a built-in speaker, auto-play upon opening, tactile control buttons, and 2 hours of playtime before recharging is needed. The Playbook also serves as an external drive and can connect to your Mac or PC to access all of the high and low resolution digital files from your session. Comes complete with a personal printing rights release.


GLASS DISPLAY BOX

Store your images beautifully! This is a timeless display piece containing all of the images from your session. Made of glass and metal, this box carefully holds 5x7 proof prints of your entire gallery. A wonderful addition to your coffee table or desk.

coffee table album + COMPANION ALBUM

This is THE most popular artwork with our clients! The 10x10 hardcover Coffee Table Album is a contemporary twist on the classic photo book. Each spread is customized with your favorite images and presented in a clean layout on thick, flush-mount pages. The lay-flat pages are printed as full spreads so imagery does not get lost in the center of the book. Each album is completed with a custom cover and is archival for 100 years in a typical home display.

A duplicate 5x5-inch Companion Album is available for gifts, to keep on your desk, or to carry in your purse. These smaller albums have the same custom spreads as the Coffee Table Album but finished with a slightly thinner page. Only available as an add-on to the Coffee Table Album.

Matted Prints + FRAMED PrintS

Classic artwork at it's best! Lustre photographic prints are mounted on 1/4” foam board and finished with a polar white mat. These are ready to frame! Don’t have a frame waiting at home? I’ve got you covered! Framing is available for an additional charge and come in a variety of solid wood and metal options. Your framed print is finished with an acrylic facing to protect your artwork.

 

WALL GALLERY

The perfect collage! A super cool way to display your favorite images. Nine 6x6-inch photographic prints are displayed in a 24x24-inch polar white mat. This piece is finished with your choice of a solid wood or metal frame and an acrylic facing to protect your prints.

CANVASES + FRAMED CANVASES

A modern classic! Beautifully crafted, your image is printed directly on premium canvas and stretched across a 1.5-inch hand-constructed wood frame. The textured surface is finished with a protective matte laminate which combats damage from scuffs, scratches, cracking, and UV light. Upgrade and include a frame for a sleek finished look.

ACRYLIC BLOCKS

A true eye-catching piece for your desk, shelf, or mantle. Your image is printed on gloss photo paper, face-mounted to a 1-inch thick acrylic block, and sanded and buffed to a crystal-clear finish. The image sparkles as the sides and top of the acrylic act as a light refractor, creating a 3-D effect.

FAQ

 

We’ve got answers for you!

I know that investing in a photo shoot is a big decision and I’m here to help! Here are some of the frequently asked questions clients have as they move through the process. Don’t see your question here? Just give me a shout!

 

What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

Weather is very important for the success of the session as I prefer to shoot with sunny skies a couple hours before sunset. If the weather is cloudy or rainy, we can simply reschedule for another day.

Do you photograph any pets other than dogs?

Absolutely! I will photograph any pet! Well, anything but spiders (sorry tarantula owners).

My dog is shy, hyper, nervous, untrained, etc. is it still possible to do a photo shoot?

Yes! Any dog can turn into a model with the right amount of patience, treats, toys, and understanding.

My dog needs to remain on a leash. Is that ok for photos?

Safety is always a major concern so I actually prefer your dog stay on a leash if they don’t have a reliable recall. Typically I’ll bring along a very long lead so your dog can roam as if he/she was completely free. Most of the time leashes can be removed in post-production if they distract from the image.

Can I/my family be in the pictures?

Sure thing! I love capturing the relationship between pets and their people! Please keep in mind that I don’t shoot posed family portraits so your images will have a more candid feel with the focus remaining on your pet.

How do i choose a location? Do you have any suggestions?

The best locations are places familiar to your pet but with minimal distractions - your backyard, a hiking trail, or areas along your daily walk. Great lighting is a bonus! Telling a story of your dog’s favorite routine is always a great theme to work with. I always have location suggestions I can recommend if you want to mix it up a bit or if you feel your spots aren’t super photo-worthy!

Can I bring along a friend/spouse/kids to the shoot?

Unless the people in question are going to be in the pictures or help wrangle pups, it is best if they stay at home. The less distractions your pet has, the better he/she will perform at the shoot.

How long before the images are ready?

Your images will be ready for viewing in your personal online gallery no later than 2 weeks after your session date. Your prints and products will be ready within 2-3 weeks from your order being placed and/or designs being approved. Please schedule accordingly if you are planning a session for a gift or special occasion.

What types of payment do you accept? Do you have payment plans?

I accept cash, check, or credit card. Yes, I do offer payment plans customized just for you! Your images and artwork will not be delivered until the balance is paid in full.

How long do you keep my images?

Your images are backed up and kept safe for a period of three months following your session date. After that date, the files are deleted.
