The fun part before the fun part
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.
01
We Get to Know Your Dog
Experience
Yes, there are lots of treats
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.
02
We Take Our Time
(and Photos)
The “how do I choose just one?” stage
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.
03
We Turn Moments into Artwork
"Michelle could not have been more welcoming. Her photographs are amazing, and she was such a pleasure to work with. ...It was a fun time, and Winston was so well cared for and adored. Every photo captures his true essence, and as my son said, clear space on your wall, STAT! You will love these photos so much, as my whole family does. I could not overstate what a wonderful experience this was!
