Inquire
Tell me about your pet on the inquiry form: name, species, age, temperament, studio or home, and what you want on the wall. I reply the same day.
How it works
How a session works.
Eight steps from the inquiry form to the box at your door. Your pet does not need to sit, stay, or behave. That part is my job.
A 15-minute planning call
We talk through fit, location, whether treats are allowed, anything that sets your pet off, and what you want to hang. Then we book the date. Your package, paid in full, locks it in.
Questionnaire and release
A short pet questionnaire and a simple release, done online. I keep vaccination details on file and ask you to stay responsible for your pet during the session. Portfolio permission is separate from your purchase, and it is your call.
A prep guide, three days out
I text a short guide. Groom two or three days before, not the morning of. Skip breakfast for a food-motivated dog. Bring the favorite toy. Wear what you would wear in the photo.
The session, 60 to 90 minutes
I shoot at your pet's pace: treats, the squeaker, breaks when they are needed, and the leash held just out of frame and removed later. You are welcome to help with treats. In the studio I run the backdrop wall to floor for traction. At home I bring the backdrop and the light. I shoot standing and head-on portraits, one setup that shows off whatever your pet does, and then the frames with you in them.
Proofs within seven days
A private online gallery of 25 to 40 images. Star the ones you want and leave notes on any you want adjusted.
Your picks, then the finished images
Pick your favorites, I finish the edits, and your digital images arrive within two weeks of your picks. Prints and albums are optional.
Prints and albums, if you want them
Order prints, frames, or albums from any of your images afterward, priced on a short ordering call. Prints and frames in about three weeks, albums in four to six weeks. Every box comes with a handwritten note and a 5x7 print.
