Your Portrait Session
I’m a little bit crazy about dogs. Ok, maybe more than a little. My dogs are family (possibly my favorite members of the family, shhh, that’ll be our little secret). And if you’re here I know you get it. How our dogs make our lives whole. You know the happy dance they do when you arrive home, the head tilt that means, you’re going to share that snack you’re eating with me, right and the love that shines in their eyes every time they look at you. That relationship deserves to be celebrated!
Now imagine walking into your home and seeing a gorgeous image of your dog gracing your walls. Or sitting down and paging through an album full of images capturing all the things you love about them. How can blurry cell phone photos and generic “artwork” from the home store ever compare.
You deserve amazing artwork of your pet to cherish the moments your share..
Are you ready?
There are three simple steps between you and gorgeous images of your dog. First a complimentary Pre-Session Consultation where I will answer all your questions and we will work out the details and schedule your session. Then the super fun part – The Session itself. We’ll meet at a beautiful location and photograph your dogs being dogs and having fun. We’ll capture a combination of posed, candid and (if you like) photos of the whole family. Finally, we meet for your Ordering Session where I’ll show you the best images from our session, help you choose your favorites and order the perfect artwork for your home.
Pre-Session Consultation
This brief consultation can be in person or via phone/zoom. We’ll get to know one another a bit and you can tell me all the wonderful things about your dog(s). Each session is customized to your pet’s personality and what you’re looking for. So if your dog is super shy, we’ll choose a quiet, less busy location than for a super-outgoing dog. We’ll talk scheduling, locations and how you envision displaying your artwork – don’t worry if you have no idea yet, I’m here to help with that too. There is a non-refundable $250 reservation fee to book your session, 100% of which becomes a product credit at your ordering session. Please note that your session does NOT include digital filesBook your consultation
The Session
Your portrait session will typically last 1-2 hours and will take place in a mutually agreed upon location. Your dog always comes first, so we take plenty of time for your dog to be relaxed and happy with plenty of breaks for sniffing and belly rubs. I will capture a combination of posed, candid and action shots. For all of you who believe that your pet is too active/shy/crazy and will “never sit still” for a session, most of the dogs I photograph are on leash for the whole session (and the leashes are magically edited out for your final images).
Ordering Session
Here is where you get to view your images and design the perfect display pieces for your home. We’ll meet again approximately 1-2 weeks after your session either in-person or via zoom to view the best images from your session (typically 25-40), narrow down your favorites and choose the perfect artwork to showcase your images. I have a wide array of options from framed prints to albums, metal prints and acrylic blocks. There is something for every taste and I will help guide you through all of your options to choose the perfect display for your home. Pricing for products begins at $125 and most clients invest $1000 or more on their artwork. Check out all the gorgeous offerings I have below!
I can’t wait to create the perfect display for your home!
