I’ve found it’s best to have your dog be able to sit and wait (or stay) before their session. It’s important for them to be able to sit on the backdrop by themselves without running after you!

Many dog parents are pleasantly surprised at how quickly I’m able to capture a split-second sit and stay. Just practice up beforehand and your dog should do just fine!

Definitely! The Signature Session is a great way to spoil your senior dog and create new memories through a novel in-studio experience — both for you and your pooch!

Capturing your dog in his most majestic moments will be something you’ll treasure forever.

We’ve all been there. You bring your pup to the spa and when you go to pick him up after his appointment, you don’t even recognize him — and the poor guy is so embarrassed he won’t make eye contact!

While I always try to accommodate last-minute snafus (whether a bad haircut or a tummy ache), I suggest scheduling your portrait session for a few weeks after a trip to the doggie spa. This way, the fresh hair cut grows out just enough to let your pet look more like himself before having his close-up!

While it’s not ideal, sh!t happen!

If your dog has an accident during the session, we’ll pause the session and I’ll clean up the mess while you bring her outside to make sure she’s empty!

Then we’ll jump back in for our remaining time together! If there’s any permanent damage (an accident on a rug, couch, etc), I may ask for reimbursement.

Yes! I love capturing sibling dogs happy in a single session. Both dogs must reside in the same home to book a second dog for your session. This ensures that both dogs are familiar with each other and won’t be distracted by one another during each’s close-up. They also tend to listen better when they live together.

You have the option to add on pets for $50 per additional pet per session while booking.

Gift certificates will be available for purchase in our online store. You can purchase full or partial sessions for the pet parents in your life!

I’m always happy to reschedule when a client’s human is able to give as much notice as possible. Certain circumstances will allow for full refunds.

You can always contact me if you have specific questions or circumstances!
