Frequently Asked Questions

My session fee is $500, which is returned to you in full as $500 artwork credit to use toward any luxury prints and products.
And as a thank you, I gift you an additional $50, giving you a total of $550 to begin designing your custom artwork.

Every client spends differently depending on what they fall in love with — from statement wall art to handcrafted albums and collections.
There’s no pressure and no minimum spend beyond the session fee. You choose only the pieces that truly resonate with you.

Not at all. Truly — please don’t stress about this.
Most of the dogs I photograph are wiggly, excitable, distracted, stubborn… or all of the above.
I work with dogs exactly as they are, using gentle guidance, patience, and experience to create beautiful, expressive portraits.

Your dog doesn’t need to “sit and stay.”
They just need to be themselves — and that’s where the magic happens.

Absolutely. Many of my most meaningful portraits come from dogs who simply need a little space, a quiet environment, or a slower pace.

I tailor every session to suit your dog’s personality and comfort.
If needed, we can book a studio session, choose a quiet outdoor location, or adapt our approach entirely.
Your dog’s wellbeing always comes first.

No worries at all — most dogs are photographed on lead for safety.
Leads are easily edited out during retouching, so your final artwork will look clean, polished, and natural.

Studio sessions typically run 45–90 minutes, while outdoor sessions may take a little longer depending on your dog’s energy and the setting.
I never rush — we move at your dog’s pace to ensure they’re relaxed, happy, and confident.

It’s completely natural to feel unsure — especially when life feels busy, your dog seems “too energetic,” or you’re not used to being in front of a camera.
But here’s the truth no one tells you:

You will never regret having these photos.
You may, however, one day wish you had.

These portraits aren’t about looking perfect or having a perfectly behaved dog.
They’re about capturing who they are — the spark in their eyes, the tilt of their head, their softness, their mischief, their devotion… all the tiny things you adore without even realising it.

Your dog is here for such a heartbreakingly brief part of your life — but they spend their entire life loving you.

This session isn’t about photography.
It’s about honouring that love.
It’s about pressing pause on a moment you’ll never get back.
It’s about creating artwork that, years from now, will mean more to you than anything you own.

Clients rarely come to me saying,
“I’m so glad I waited.”
But they often say, with tears in their eyes,
“I’m so grateful I did this.”

If you feel even the smallest pull…
if a part of your heart whispers maybe…
then trust that feeling.

Your future self will thank you — more than you know.
And remember — it never hurts to come into the studio for a chat.
There’s no pressure, no obligation… just a warm conversation to see what feels right for you and your dog.
