How does it work?

  1. Let's Talk!

    We’ll start with a phone call to go over the basics of how pet portrait sessions work, explore ways to prepare your dog, and discuss how I can customize the experience to create timeless, personal artwork that complements your home.

  2. Your Personalized Session

    Your session is all about you and your pet having fun! Expect moments of play, laughter, and a bit of patience as we work together to capture portraits you’ll love. Worried about how your pet will behave? No need! With years of experience, I know how to bring out their personality and ensure we get images you’ll adore. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority—if we don’t capture the perfect shots in the first session, we’ll reschedule at no extra cost.

  3. Selection & Ordering

    This is where your pet’s portraits come to life! I’ll guide you through selecting your favorite images and help you choose the best way to display them, from stunning prints to custom wall art designed to complement your space.

    The session fee is $300, covering your pet’s photoshoot and creative time. Portrait print packages range from $375 to $2,500, offering a selection of exquisite, high-quality artwork. Every piece is crafted with archival inks to ensure your portraits last a lifetime.

Let’s create something truly special together!

FAQs

  • Pet portrait sessions are 1 hour long, or as long as reasonably needed. Most dogs get tired in front of the camera in that time. If for some reason we don’t get the shots you love, we are happy to schedule a reshoot.

  • Once you book your session, you will receive a link to schedule when works best for you. If you have questions or want to talk before you book, I'd love to hear from you. Send an email or leave a message to reach out and connect.

  • We print everything from 5”x7” to 60”x80” and produce artwork for any size wall to gaze upon good things and fill your home with joy.
