The As to your Qs
My goal is to capture relaxed and natural images of your four-legged friend, so my sessions are low-key and customized to your pet’s personality. I want your pet to be as they always are, doing what makes them happy. Before I start photographing, I’ll spend time getting to know your pet, so they feel comfortable around me and the camera.
I am an on-location, natural-light photographer — there’s no studio, backdrop or props. I can recommend a location that will work well with your dog’s temperament, size/breed and colouring, as well as the style you’re looking for (e.g. urban or natural setting). I typically only photograph at your home/yard if you are booking a Celebration Session and your pet is too ill or unable to travel to a different location. Cats are photographed at your home unless you have a very adventurous feline!
No problem! We can still get amazing images – almost all dogs I photograph are on leash during their session. I can remove the leash from the images during the post-processing process. View some examples to see how it works.
I’ll keep in touch with you leading up to our session day. If it looks like rain, we’ll reschedule to the next available date that’s convenient for you.
Yes! All seasons provide beautiful backgrounds.
Absolutely! I love including people, since the bond between pet and caregiver is so strong. Keep in mind that as I am a pet photographer, I’ll deliver a few images of you together, but most of my focus will be on your pet alone. If you prefer that most of your images are of people and pets together, or if you have a much larger number of people than pets, a family photographer may be a better fit.
While it’s helpful if your dog can follow some commands, it’s certainly not required. I want to capture the true spirit of your pet, not just perfect poses, so you can relax and let their personality shine.
Yes! I’ve photographed many black dogs and cats – it’s all about the lighting and exposure.
