Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)’s

  • Congratulations. You have a typical canine. All of the dogs on my website are typical family dogs; most did not sit or stay on command. I expect dogs to act like the canines they were created to be! I only need a fraction of a second to capture your dog, so there is no need for them to be still. We will take as much time as we need during the session to be sure your dog is comfortable and relaxed with me, my camera and the surroundings. Dogs first. Always.

    I literally guarantee your dog’s success- I’ll refund your session fee if you don’t love your images.

  • It’s easier than falling in love with puppies.

    1. Phone call to plan the session and your artwork

    2. Photoshoot

    3. Order your artwork and enjoy!

  • No problem! I require a leash, to comply with most park leash laws, and for safety and control. Often the human is standing right next to the dog, holding the leash. Through the magic of ninja style photo editing, I remove the human and the leash.

  • Yes! I welcome families, and often take family photos that include dogs. We also take individual portraits of the dogs and the kids.

    If you have a family without dogs, or do not want to include the dogs in the photos that’s great. I love the humans as well as the dogs. All beings are welcome.

  • Reservation Deposit of $300 and fully refundable. When you order your artwork I will refund it to you or you use it as a credit toward your artwork purchase. .

    Since this is customized to you, investments vary depending on your final artwork selections. Most clients invest $1000-$3000.

    Please contact me and we can create customized artwork just for you.

  • I am so sorry - that hurts my heart. One of the big drawbacks to having a pet is that we usually outlive them.

    I am trained in pet loss and grief and am part of the One Last Network.

    I am also part of the Joy Session Network, a collaborative of photographers and other animal service providers who support families with pet loss.

    I will make every effort to schedule a session on short notice and to your pet’s comfort. These sessions are typically at your home, but can be at a park or my studio if your pet is able to travel.

  • I never put a time limit on sessions. I encourage everyone to relax, so they can be their most adorable selves.

    We go at the pace of your pet and/or your children and sometimes it takes a awhile (and sometimes it goes quickly).

    Typical sessions with one or two pets last about an hour. Sessions with more than two pets, or more people, take longer.

    I never charge a higher fee for more than one pet - why would I penalize you for loving more beings?

    The most important factor for me is making sure all beings are happy and enjoying the process.

    Animals first. Always.

  • One of my business pillars is community support. Please send me an email and we can talk specifics.

  • Nope! The more dogs the better, I say. The session might be a little longer so we can photograph all the beings. I may also ask you to consider bringing a helper to the session. But there is never a penalty for loving more than one dog.
