What does the session fee cover?
The session fee covers my time and talent during the session, preparation for your session, editing of your images (30+ final images), an online gallery for previewing your images, and a complimentary in-person or over the phone ordering session.
Where is the session held?
Several options! Pet sessions primarily take place in the comfort of your own home, which allows your pet to be the most comfortable and gives you a wider variety of settings that are different for each session. (Warning: I might rearrange some furniture, but I’ll help you move it back!) I also love doing sessions on location (a park, in the city, or a place of significance).
My dog doesn’t listen very well/is camera shy/I have a cat… can we still do a session?
Absolutely! I have been around animals my entire life—including dogs, cats, horses, and more (I was a 4-H kid). I have my bag of tricks and carefully-honed techniques. Being an incredibly patient and calm person, I am able to work with your pet’s personality and energy level and use the best approach to ensure we achieve the highest quality images. I’m fast on the shutter to capture those fleeting moments!
What kind of products do you offer?
I offer a range of the highest, archival-quality products, including prints, digital files, canvases, and custom-designed albums, announcements, and holiday cards. Have something special in mind? Do not hesitate to send me a note!
