Frequently Asked Questions

Every pet deserves to be captured in a way that takes your breath away—that’s why I offer my Great Image Guarantee. If you don’t absolutely love the pet portraits I create, I’ll refund your session fee in full.

This isn’t just a promise; it’s a reflection of my confidence as a professional pet photographer in delivering stunning, wall-worthy images that showcase your pet’s unique personality. With years of experience, a deep understanding of animal behavior, and a passion for capturing unforgettable moments, I know you’ll fall in love with the portraits we create together. Let me prove it—completely risk-free.

My goal is to give you a variety of images. I make lots of noises, use treats & squeaky toys to grab your pet’s attention. It’s fun and you may be quite amused by the process. It usually takes a few tries so patience will be required – but it will be loads of fun!

Training is helpful but it is not a requirement. Most of the dogs I work with are not well-trained. Pet photography takes a lot of patience and your pet may not get it the first few times. It's ok and very normal.

Yes. It’s very common for me to do an entire outdoor session with dogs on a lead. I will direct the session so that the lead is hidden wherever possible. Most of the time it can be removed during the post production editing process.

Yes! You are the most important part of your pet’s life and I encourage you to be in a few of the shots. I make sure to leave time at the end of the session for some magical moments of you together. The images that show your connection and bond are often the favorite images from the entire session.

If the weather doesn't cooperate we'll reschedule! 

I don’t put a strict time limit on sessions—every dog has their own pace. Some pups need a little extra time to warm up, while others dive right in. I’ll keep photographing as long as your dog is happy and enjoying themselves, with plenty of breaks when needed. For my Ultimate Session, we usually plan two separate shoots at different locations, giving you an even wider variety of images to choose from.
