You can rest assured that we always end up with stunning images no matter their personality. Trust me, your fur baby is the perfect model. In no way do they need to be the most obedient dogs or posing masters. Positive reinforcement, delicious treats, their favorite toys and weird noises will do wonders during the session.

I’ve worked with shy, crazy, lazy, camera shy, clingy pets and anything in between.

But what if my dog is kind of crazy or camera shy?

You’ve been browsing my website for a little while and you’d love to book a session for your fur babies? That’s great! Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit. If we are, I’ll send a form your way to fill out and we’ll book your session.   

step one - get in touch

We’ll plan the session over the phone or email, whichever you feel most comfortable with. We’ll talk about your pets, what’s unique about them, find the perfect location, determine a date and time to ensure the session meets your expectations.

step TWO - Planning the session

Session day has finally come and it’s your pet’s time to shine! We meet at the chosen location where we will walk around, stop at a few spots and take some lovely portraits. Don’t forget to bring your animal’s favorite treats and toys!

Step three - it's showtime!

About a week or two following the session, you’ll receive an online gallery to view and purchase your favorite images from the session and some gorgeous printed products to display in your home. I’m happy to help you choose artwork that will look fabulous in your home. 

Step four - the reveal

I will send you your final images once they are professionally retouched and personally deliver any ordered printed products directly to your place. Now it’s time to show off your splendid pup’s photos on social media and admire your beautiful artwork on your wall or desk.

Step five - enjoy your artwork
