F.A.Q
Why should
I have my pet photographed?
Having professional photos taken of your pet
is an investment that you will enjoy and
treasure for years to come. If you are
looking to have your pet photographed then
you are probably like me in the way that my
pets are part of the family. They are
precious to us and provide unconditional
love, companionship and happiness. Nobody
knows our pets like we know them. Allow me
to capture the essence of your pet through
my creative photography and genuine love of
animals. If you are not 100% satisfied with
my work, I will refund your money.
How long
does a session last?
A typical session lasts about 1-1.5
hours. However, I do not limit myself to the
amount of time I will spend working with
your pet. I will not stop until I am sure
that I have a range of candid, creative and
beautiful images. If the session goes beyond
1.5 hours I do not charge an additional fee
for the extra time.
How
and when do I pay?
Payment is required when we meet for the
shoot. You may pay by check or cash.
Should I do anything to prepare for
the session?
Your pet should be nicely groomed
and brushed to look their best. Bringing
along favorite pet toys and treats. We like to recommend a nice long walk
before the session for dogs who are hyper
and over excited. It usually makes for a
calmer dog during the shoot. Also, if you dress your pet, feel free
to have any clothes or accessories with
you. I will have some clothes and props with
me as well. Also, please let me know if your
pet does any special tricks and what makes
them tick. Capturing these moments make for
great fun images of your "baby."
What
happens at the session?
Outdoor
location: When we meet for the
session, we will discuss your design vision
for your pet's portrait. Then I will spend
some time with your pet and allowing him to get
used to me. Afterwards, the fun begins! I will
bring wholesome treats, bottled water and
plenty of toys to get your dog's attention.
I take as many candid shots as I can,
following your pet around and capturing
photos of him doing whatever he loves best.
I will do this until I am sure that I have
plenty of great images for you to choose
from.
In Your Home Location: Same as
outdoor location plus I will bring a
portable studio with me in case we decide to
shoot some images in front of a background.
Otherwise I
capture photos of your pet in his favorite
places around home (IE- his bed, the couch,
near a window, backyard with natural light, etc..)
How will you handle my dog? How involved do I get in the shoot?
The low price on your pet photography session means I can't afford to bring an assistant with me to your shoot. I will work with your dog directly but your help may be necessary as well. That may mean standing next to me and making silly noises, squeeking toys or saying things that get your pet's attention.
What if I have to cancel?
I understand completely if something comes
up and we must cancel the shoot, whether it
be a family emergency or bad weather. We can
always schedule it for another day. However,
if you cancel less than 48 hours before a
shoot, I must charge a small fee to
reschedule.
Can me or other family members be
included in the portraits?
Sure, feel free to jump in for a few pics
with your dog or cat or whatever kind of pet
you have at no extra charge!
Can you tell me a little more about your Photography Sessions?
My goal in every session is simple, Creativity, Quality and Fun.
If you have a question that I have not answered, please email me and I will be happy to answer your question for you.
