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 dog’s personality and preferences—those details go a long way in creating a relaxed, successful session.
Phone consultations are available if you’d like to talk through questions or special requests. The process is designed to be simple, stress-free, and tailored to your dog
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.
AFTER THE SESSION
Turnaround is typically 2 weeks. Each gallery is carefully curated and fully retouched, with a print release included.
You may also choose to:
- Purchase additional images or bundles
- Upgrade to the full gallery
- Order professional prints, albums, or wall art
Editing & Artistic Style:
I remove distractions like leashes or stray eye boogies, color-correct, and enhance each image to reflect your dog’s personality at its best. Final artistic choices and post-production style are part of my creative process. Special editing requests can be accommodated for 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 dog deserves more than a screen, and your home deserves the art.
