THE EXPERIENCE

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT 

The entire experience is about your pup! Whether the shoot is an hour long or longer, the time is dedicated to capturing images and the personality of your pup.

All sessions begin with a phone conversation to learn about your pup and what's most important to you.

Sessions will be stress free!

How does it work?

Step 1: Complete the inquiry form

I'm here to capture the genuine personality of your pup.  Whether he/she is a goofball or the perfect model, it will be fun and memorable! 

Step 2: Let's meet

We'll hop on a call, Zoom or Facetime to get to know one another and make sure we're a great fit! I will also take this time to learn more about you,  your pup(s) and what you're looking for from this experience. 

Step 3: It's planning time

Once you're ready to move forward, I'll send paperwork along with a questionnaire regarding your pup and expectations. Session fee will be due at this time. 

Step 4: Your scheduled session

A few days before your session, I will remind you of what to bring and what to expect. My focus will be on capturing your pup's true personality along with shots we talked about in our meeting.  As a reminder, your pup will stay on leash for his/her safety. 

Step 5: Image delivery

I'll send over a sneak peak of some photos within 48 hours of your session. About a week after your session, we will meet to view the your pup's gallery of images. From there, you'll have the opportunity to purchase prints, albums, or packages.

FAQ

Have more questions?  Let me know, I'm happy to chat!

  • Where are the outdoor photoshoots held?
    I have many favorite spots throughout the Greater Portland Maine area. Pine Point Beach, Guild Park in Old Orchard, Western Prom, Downtown Portland to name a few. Let me know if you have a favorite location!
  • How long will the shoot take?
    Most shoots will last about an hour. If you pup shows signs of "not having it" or being totally done, we'll take a break and go from there. We will go at your pup's pace.
  • My dog can't be off leash. Will that still work?
    Yes! All pups remain on leash for their safety. The leash will be removed in post editing.
  • Do I need to do anything special prior to the shoot?
    1. Have your dog groomed about a week prior to the shoot. 2. Take your dog on a long walk a few hours prior to the shoot to burn off the zoomies or excess energy. 3. Arrive a few minutes early to the shoot so your pup can sniff around
  • Can I submit the photos to an online pet photo contest?
    No. Photo contest are considered commercial work and would need copyright licensing.
  • Can I post my photos to my social media?
    Yes! and if you could tag me, that would be awesome! :)
