Why should people consider booking a professional pet portrait session?

A portrait session is, first and foremost, an opportunity to spend some quality time with your pet 1-on-1. It’s a valuable chance to bond, connect, and let them play! It can be a challenge to find the time to spend with your pets day-to-day when so many different things demand your attention. Though many of us may be spending more time at home, it doesn’t necessarily mean we’re spending meaningful time with our pets. You could snap a quick phone photo on your daily walk, but trying to get a picture that looks great while keeping your pet in check isn’t easy. Let us focus capturing that perfect moment, so all you have to worry about is being a loving owner and showering your fur baby with affection!

Best of all, you’ll be able to walk away with incredible images of memories to last a lifetime!

Why photograph pets?

There is a special sort of connection we form with animals. Some of the most rewarding relationships are built on reciprocation – a nice, healthy balance of give and take. With pets, the affection you show is reflected tenfold! The more time, energy and love you show your pet, the more they amplify it and give it back to you. So many people have meaningful and fulfilling connections with their animals; we pride ourselves on capturing those moments of emotion and meaning for our clients to look back on, and it’s hard to find a love purer than that between a pet and parent. We love celebrating what gives people joy, and there’s nothing more special than photographing beloved pets and their families.

What animals do you work with?

The short answer: all of them! If you’re a pet owner and want to show your affection for them, we’re here to support you. We know how much owners love their pets, regardless of what they are! So if it hops, jumps, barks, gallops, flies, swims, or slithers, we’ve got you covered!

What can I expect from a pet portrait session?

Our portrait sessions take place both indoors and outdoors. We are able to come to your home or local park to make sure your pet is in a space that is familiar and comfortable to them to maximize their safety and limit distractions. We may also decide on a location shoot for a particular background and aesthetic you might be searching for. Our sessions tend to last anywhere from 30-90 minutes depending on the amount of photos you receive with your chosen package, as well as the number of pets and people you might want to include in the session.

No later than 2 weeks after our photo shoot, you’ll receive the edited images via electronic link. From the delivered proofs, you’ll select the final number to take home, which is determined by the package you booked. If it’s too difficult to decide between some, you can purchase extra images to add to your package. You can also order high-quality, professional prints of varying sizes and material to help decorate your home to further celebrate the memories!

Your session is your canvas. You can customize the experience for you and your pet however you want, and that flexibility allows us to make sure we capture all of your most important memories. Whatever your vision, we want to make sure you are in control of your experience.
