Before the session, we’ll chat through a short questionnaire and a few emails so I can get to know your dog — their quirks, their habits, and the little things that make them them. We’ll talk about what you love most, what makes them light up, and how to prepare so the studio feels like a great day out, not a stressful one.
This is where the magic happens. We move at your dog’s pace — whether that means bounding around, taking a few minutes to warm up, or stopping for extra cuddles and treats. There’s no rushing, no pressure, and no expectations of “perfect behavior.” The goal is simple: a relaxed, happy dog whose personality shines through every photo.
About a week after your session, you’ll receive a proofing gallery with the best images from your shoot. From there, you’ll select your favorites, choose what’s included in your collection, and decide if you’d like to add additional images or artwork for your home. This is when everything comes together — and when most clients realize they need more wall space.
