Fall Sessions
Fall is classic for a reason.
The light turns golden, the air cools, and the season’s warm tones and layered landscapes create some of the most dynamic outdoor settings of the year. Because fall is one of the busiest seasons, sessions are planned ahead to take advantage of the best light, peak color, and shorter daylight hours.
Sept 6th-Nov 2nd | Limited Availability
What Fall Sessions Are Best For:
- Dogs who thrive outdoors
- Families wanting classic, seasonal portraits
- Clients who love rich color and autumn textures and year-end keepsakes
- Anyone who prefers cooler weather sessions
Dates & Location
Fall sessions are limited and fill quickly due to shorter daylight hours and high demand.
If fall is your favorite season, early booking is strongly recommended.
Booking early allows:
- Access to preferred dates and peak foliage windows
- First choice of locations
Sept 6th-Nov 2nd | Limited Availability
Sessions are held throughout the St. Louis area, with locations selected intentionally for peak fall color and light. Favorites include Forest Park, Tower Grove, and Busch Wildlife, along with select woodland and park locations chosen for seasonal foliage.
If you have a location you love, we’re happy to plan it together after booking. Fall sessions are outdoor-focused and designed to take advantage of the season’s natural beauty.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
In the event of rain, a reschedule date will be offered. This applies only in the case of a true rainout on your session date.
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.
