Welcome!
It is so nice to see you here.
You and your dog have a story waiting to be told.
Let’s capture this, together.
Here is where you will find all of the information in regards to how my sessions work, what to expect, and potential investment.
Custom Crafted Session for You and Your Dog.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, each experience is designed around your pet, the people who love them, and how you hope to enjoy your images.
We specialize in finished pieces of art meaning that whatever your vision is for your dog's portraits, we bring that to life through artwork for you to enjoy for years to come.
The Phases
For each of my session offerings (more on this below!), they each include three different phases throughout the session: the planning session, the portrait session, and the reveal and artwork design session. Each phase is designed to ensure your experience is tailored specifically to your vision for your photos, your pet, and any artwork that we will create together from this.
-
You’ll receive an in-depth questionnaire about one month prior to our session to dive deeper into who your dog is, their personality, your relationship with one another, and what truly matters most to you. You'll be asked about the kinds of images you're drawn to, your must-have shot list, and the type of artwork you would like to create. I will review your questionnaire and we will collaborate on planning your dream session.

The portrait session itself typically begins about two hours before sunset, which is the start of Golden Hour and when the light is at its most beautiful. None of my sessions have time limits, except for The Short Story (more on this below), and your session would be my only session of the day. This means I am never rushing, or whisking away to another session, allowing us to work entirely at the pace of your pet, ensuring everyone is happy, comfortable, and enjoying themselves.
For sessions without time restrictions, the average session lasts about 90 minutes, the length is ultimately dictated by how everyone is feeling. Sometimes we're done in 60 minutes if we have captured everything we were aiming to, and sometimes we go until the sun has set and we have no more workable light. Regardless, the sessions only move at your pet's comfort level, and we always work at their pace.

This takes place about 2-4 weeks after the portrait session you’ll meet with my artwork and design expert, Kristen, over Zoom to view the images we created and to finalize your artwork order. Whether that’s wall art, an album, selecting your digital image that are included in your all-inclusive package, or a combination of both, she will walk you through step by step to create pieces that perfectly match your vision, medium preferences, and the design/color palette of their home.
For the DIY clients, your reveal can be held via a pre-recorded video alongside a proofing gallery. This gallery is available for 5 days only for selections, allowing you to choose your favorites from the comforts of your own home.
Once final image selections are made, I complete my full master editing process on all selected images. These are delivered and are sent to one of my hand-chosen professional labs throughout the world to have your custom artwork created!
Any image that becomes a piece of artwork also includes the corresponding digital file (with personal printing rights up to 10”), so you truly get the best of both worlds. All artwork is delivered directly to you, arriving ready to display and enjoy.
Session Types
Two distinct ways to work together, both designed to give you the session you’ve always imagined, and portraits you’ll never stop looking at.

Perfect for the pet parent whose goal is to create something extraordinary with artwork as the end goal. If you've dreamed of tailored and finished pieces of art of your dog, this session is for you. From the very beginning, we design with the end in mind. The portrait above the fireplace, the album on the coffee table, or the wall in the hallway, we create artwork that is meant to be loved and lived with. We craft your session around that vision, the light, the location, and the moments you never want to forget. Artwork may be purchased a la carte, alongside collections or digital images, ensuring you only ever invest in what you truly love.
The Session Fee for The Artist Session is $297. This will automatically become product credit when an investment of $1500 or more in Artwork/Collections/ Digital Image Packages.

Designed for the pet parents who are interested in digitals first, with the option to create artwork later.

Art First,
Designed with the end goal in mind.
For the pet parent whose goal is to create something extraordinary, this session is for you.
From the very beginning, we design with the end in mind. The portrait above the fireplace, the album on the coffee table, or the wall in the hallway, we create artwork that is meant to be loved and lived with. We build your session around that vision, the light, the location, and the moments you never want to forget.
After your reveal, we design your collection together. Every piece is custom-finished, museum-quality, and built to last a lifetime. You choose what speaks to you and I bring it to life.
Start with a $297 session fee. Artwork is curated à la carte at your reveal.

Investment
Everything outlined above - the planning consultation, the portrait session, and the reveal - is included in all session types and fees.

-Digital + artwork collections start at $1,800

Overall there is a really large range that clients can expect to invest as a total. On the lower end, some clients invest in just a print collection or what their all-inclusive package covers. On the higher end, some clients have decided to decorate multiple rooms in their home, and have spent over $10,000, which included multiple pieces of large wall art, as well as a very large album, extra digital images, and keepsakes.
As you can see there is a really wide the investment range! On average that clients typically invest just north of $2,500 for their total experience. This investment would look like a gorgeous statement piece of wall art for their home, along with a hand-stitched custom flat-lay leather album featuring 20 of their favorite images to share on their photos on social media, use for holiday cards, or have as the lock screen on their phone. Regardless of what you choose, you only ever invest in what you truly love!
Lastly, payment plans are available and I do these in house. Since I manage them myself, I am able to do 0% interest, and varied payment schedule. This allows clients maximum freedom to bring their images to life exactly how they envision them!
