We can discuss all these details during a quick Discovery Call.

I would love a family portrait that includes our dog, but what if the little rascal does not cooperate for the session?
Not to worry! When pets are included in a portrait session their comfort level will guide things. In most cases they catch on quickly to what we are asking of them.

We are confident that we can capture your pets attention and create beautiful family portraits that you will cherish for a lifetime.

For the safety of everyone involved, all dogs are on leash with their human as handler throughout the session. In most instances, leashes are able to be removed in post-processing.

Do you offer a special session for my senior dog who we know will not be with us for much longer?

We offer Forget-Me-Not sessions for senior or ill pets. These sessions are given scheduling priority and are near and dear to my heart!

The truth is… our pets are never able to stay long enough and the anticipatory grief we experience when we know that good-bye is near is devastating. I believe that everyone should have a beautiful portrait of their best friend to cherish for a lifetime.

Do you offer payment plans?
We offer interest-free payment plans for orders over $1500.
