FAQ
  • How many pets can I include in a pet photography session?
    I love furry families! Our standard sessions accommodate up to 2 pets, while our premium sessions welcome up to 4 pets. If you have a larger pack or need a custom solution, please contact us to create a personalized experience that suits your needs.
  • What if my pet is anxious or fearful in new situations?
    Absolutely no worries! I understand that some pets can be nervous in new situations. To ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and relaxed, we'll start with a Meet + Treat Session to get to know each other and complete paperwork. During our session, I'll be fully attuned to your pet's cues and pace, using positive reinforcement techniques like treats, toys, and praise to capture their natural expressions. I'll also choose a location tailored to your pet's personality and preferences. We'll take things at your pet's pace, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved throughout the process. Let's create amazing memories together!
  • How long does a typical pet photography session last?
    Great question! Session lengths vary depending on the type and number of pets involved. Generally, sessions last anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours. For more details on each session, check out our Services page!
  • What's the best attire for a pet photography session?
    Dress for comfort and confidence! Wear what reflects your personality and style, and accessorize your pet with fun items like collars, bandanas, or bows. Consider the session location and season when choosing outfits. Here are some tips: Choose colors that complement the background and your pet's fur. Avoid colors that blend in with the background or clash with your pet's fur. Opt for solid colors over prints or patterns. Ensure your pet's accessories don't irritate or distract them. By following these tips, you'll create a stylish and memorable session that showcases your furry friend's unique personality!
  • Can I join my pet in the pet portraits?
    Absolutely, and I highly recommend it! In fact, I always make sure to capture at least one photo of you with your pet during our session - and it's often the client's favorite image (shhh, don't tell!). Joining your pet in the portraits makes the experience more enjoyable and meaningful for both of you, and allows me to capture the special bond and connection that you share. Don't worry if you're shy or don't want your face in the photo - there are many ways to capture the moment without showing your face! We can do a waist-down shot with your pup beside you, or a peek-a-boo image with your pup peeking over your shoulder. We can even get creative with angles and poses to make sure you're comfortable and happy with the final result. The goal is to celebrate your relationship with your pet and create treasured memories that will last a lifetime. So, don't be shy - get in on the fun and snuggle up with your furry friend!
  • How far in advance should I book a pet photography session?
    It's essential to book your pet photography session well in advance, as my schedule fills up quickly, especially during peak seasons like holidays and weekends. To ensure you get your preferred date and time, I recommend booking at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance. However, if you're looking to create special holiday gifts or have an urgent request, please book even earlier to guarantee availability. Booking in advance is crucial, as weather conditions play a significant role in my shooting schedule. By planning ahead, we can ensure optimal weather conditions for your session. Additionally, if you're looking to create beautiful artwork or gifts for special occasions, booking early allows me sufficient time to order and deliver your artwork, so you can enjoy it on time. Don't wait until the last minute - book your session today and let's capture those precious moments with your furry friend!
  • What sets your pet photography apart?
    Ah, great question! My pet photography is more than just a photo shoot - it's an experience that captures the heart and soul of your furry companion. I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm crafting a celebration of your pet's unique spirit, quirks, and the unbreakable bond you share. Each session is a personalized tribute to your pet's sparkling personality, preserved in stunning, archival-quality artwork that will be treasured for generations. My approach is all about understanding what makes your pet tick, and capturing the joy, love, and magic they bring to your life. What drives me is a personal passion, born from my own journey with my beloved cat Poly-Ana, who left for the rainbow bridge in 2022. Her legacy lives on through my photography, and I'm dedicated to honoring the love and connection we shared. For me, pet photography isn't just a job - it's a way of life. I'm committed to creating an experience that's as meaningful as it is fun, and delivering artwork that will make your heart skip a beat. So, let's capture the essence of your furry friend, and create a legacy that will be cherished forever!
  • How do you capture the personality and spirit of my pet in the pet photography?
    That's the million-dollar question! Capturing the essence of your pet's personality and spirit is my top priority. To do this, I take a personalized approach that starts with getting to know your furry friend before and during the session. First, we'll have a Meet + Treat Session, where I'll learn all about your pet's unique character, likes, dislikes, and quirks. This helps me tailor the session to their individual needs and preferences. During the session, I'll follow their cues and pace, using positive reinforcement techniques like treats, toys, and praise to bring out their natural expressions and personality. With my expertise and creative eye, I'll then use a variety of angles, perspectives, lighting, and techniques to craft stunning, artistic images that showcase your pet's spirit and beauty. My goal is to capture the spark in their eye, the wag in their tail, and the love in their heart - and preserve it all in beautiful, archival-quality artwork.
  • What if my pet is uncooperative during the session?
    Don't fret, my friend! If your furry companion decides to go rogue during our session, I'm totally prepared. With my expertise and patience, I've got the skills to tame even the most mischievous of pets (just kidding, I love them just the way they are!). Seriously, though, I've worked with all sorts of pets, and I know that sometimes they just need a little extra love and understanding. I'll never force your pet to pose or do anything that makes them uncomfortable. Instead, I'll use positive reinforcement like treats, toys, and praise to encourage them to be their fabulous selves. And if they need a break or a snuggle, we'll take it nice and slow. My goal is to make our session a paw-some experience for both you and your pet. So, relax, and let's capture those precious moments together!
  • Why invest in a pet photography session?
    Investing in a pet photography session is a paw-some decision that will bring you joy, happiness, and cherished memories for years to come! Here's why: You'll capture your pet's unique personality and spirit in stunning, artistic images that will make your heart melt. You'll celebrate the unbreakable bond you share with your pet, creating memories that reflect your special relationship. You'll have a blast enjoying quality time with your furry friend, making them feel loved and appreciated. You'll support a local, passionate pet photographer who cares about your pet's happiness and your satisfaction. You'll receive high-quality prints and products that will enhance your home, office, or personal space. Yes, the average session fee is between $250 and $500, depending on the details. But trust me, the value and quality of the images and artwork you'll receive are truly priceless! The experience and emotions you'll share with your pet are invaluable, making this an investment in your pet's legacy and your happiness. Still unsure?

  • What's the best way to prepare my pet for the photo session?
    Great question! To ensure a paw-some photo session, please make sure your furry friend is well-groomed, fed, and exercised beforehand. Also, bring their favorite toys and treats to help them feel comfortable and relaxed during the session. If your pet has any special needs or anxiety, please let me know in advance so we can make necessary arrangements.
  • What if I need to reschedule or cancel my session?
    No worries! I understand that life can be unpredictable. If you need to reschedule or cancel your session, please provide at least 48 hours' notice. If you cancel with less than 48 hours' notice, a cancellation fee may apply. Let's work together to find a new date and time that suits you best.
  • Can I use my own props or costumes during the session?
    Absolutely! I encourage you to bring your pet's favorite props or costumes to make the session even more personalized and fun. Please keep in mind that we'll need to ensure the props are safe and won't distract from the photography process. Let's chat beforehand to discuss the details!
