Holiday Sessions


You don't have to wait for the perfect weather, squeeze everyone into coats and scarves, or hope your dog decides today is the day they're willing to cooperate.


Come inside. Pick a cute set. We'll make some portraits.

Dates & Location

NOVEMber–DeCEMBER | MAPLEWOOD STUDIO LOCATION

Holiday portraits without the cold, unpredictable weather, or trying to convince everyone to cooperate outside.


Holiday sessions take place in the studio, where we can keep things warm, comfortable, and controlled — especially helpful for pets, little ones, or anyone who would rather skip the December weather.


I'll have several holiday-inspired sets available throughout the season, giving you the flexibility to choose the look that fits your family best. Whether you want something traditional, playful, simple, or just really cute, there's no shortage of ways to make the session your own.


Set options may vary throughout the season, so if there's a particular look you're hoping for, reach out before booking and I'll let you know what's available.


Book your session anytime from now through mid-December.



No waiting for a specific holiday weekend. No checking the forecast. Just come to the studio, enjoy the sets, and let me handle the portraits.

Session Details:


BEFORE THE SESSION

Once you’re ready to book, you’ll receive a link to complete your booking form, sign the session agreement, and pay your reservation retainer. You’ll also receive a pre-session questionnaire so I can learn more about your family, pets, and what you’re hoping to create.


Phone consultations are available if you’d like to talk through questions, location ideas, or special requests. The process is designed to be simple, relaxed, and tailored to your session


INVESTMENT 

All sessions require a $100 retainer, applied toward your session fee. This secures your session date and time and is non-refundable due to the exclusive reservation. The remaining balance is due on or before your session date.


CANCELLATIONS + WEATHER 

If you’re unable to attend your session due to an exceptional circumstance, your retainer will be issued as a credit toward a future session. Monetary refunds are not available.


IMAGE DELIVERY

Your proofing gallery will be ready within 7–10 days, with up to two weeks allowed. After you select your images, your final, fully edited gallery is typically delivered within two weeks.


Additional images, full gallery upgrades, and professional prints and wall art are available.


EDITING & ARTISTIC STYLE

Selected images are fully edited and retouched, including color correction and removal of common distractions such as leashes. Final artistic choices and post-production style are part of my creative process. Special editing requests may be subject to an additional fee.


HEIRLOOM PRODUCTS + WALL ART 

While your session includes fully edited digital images, my goal is for your portraits to become lasting artwork in your home. From fine art prints to metal wall art, canvases, and albums, professional-quality products are available to help you display your dog’s portraits in a way that’s beautiful and personal.


Your portraits deserve more than a screen, and your home deserves the art.
