BELOW ARE SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THAT I TYPICALLY RECEIVE PRIOR TO A PHOTO SESSION BOOKING

“ WHEN”?

The best part of the day to catch the most stunning light is roughly two hours before sunset, so you can plan on your photo session taking place during the late afternoon.

”HOW LONG WILL MY PHOTO SESSION LAST”?

If you were looking for a timeline, I would tell you that a typical photo session lasts anywhere between 60 and 90 minutes. I do not like to place time limits while working with dogs, as they are unpredictable and I like to keep sessions as stress free for my clients as possible.

“WHERE”?

I work primarily in the southern New Hampshire region (the Keene NH and Monadnock Region specifically).  I have a handful of choice spots that I think are absolutely stunning for a doggy photo session. Once I have an opportunity to learn more about your dog and his personality, we can decide on a spectacular location together.

“CAN OUR SESSION TAKE PLACE AT MY HOME?”

I understand that every dog has a different personality and therefore limits to what they are comfortable with. Some pups are fearful in new settings, some are a little more reactive to spontaneous stimuli that may or may not disrupt his ability to feel like his ‘true self’ during our time together. In these situations I am always more than happy to come to your home for your session, but also mold the photo session so it works for you. If your pup is more comfortable in a familiar environment we can still create beautiful images that you will cherish, regardless of location. 

“MY DOG CANNOT BE OFF LEASH…”

That is OKAY! If we are in a non-fenced area I actually prefer pups be leashed. Safety is always my first priority. Through the magic of post processing and editing… I am able to magically remove leashes, and even human legs from photos. So worry not! Most of the dogs that I photograph are leashed

“MY DOG IS NOT TRAINED! IN FACT… SHE CAN’T EVEN ‘SIT’ ON COMMAND!”

That is also okay! 99.9% of the dogs that I take pictures of are your every-day, average, silly pup! I know, I know… the photos that I have on my website make it appear as though I have Lassie posing perfectly for these portraits. The good news is, that although it always helps to have a good “sit” and “stay” locked down… a) I know EXACTLY how to get your dog’s attention… and b) I only need but a fraction of a second to capture what seems like the most picture perfect pose. So do not stress over this! 

Please remember that this experience should be as stress free as possible. If you are stressed, your pup will be stressed. I work with your every day, untrained pooch. It is okay if your dog isn’t cooperating right away, sometimes that just means we need to switch gears and try something else. 

“HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST?”

Your investment is completely up to you. I offer a variety of art products that will WOW you and guests visiting your home. Because the price of what I offer varies quite a bit, the final cost to each client can vary as well. My prices range from $50 mounted prints, to larger pieces of wall art such as my high gloss metal prints and canvases starting at $350. You will receive a detailed list of products, descriptions and pricing once you book your session.

* DIGITALS *

I do understand that most people want the digital images. I offer a digital collection, however when you purchase the digital files please understand that you are purchasing the actual images from your session as well as the copyright to those images. You are purchasing the ability to download and print these images wherever you choose, along with the right to order professional prints/artwork from me. This is why digitals are the largest single investment, in comparison to other artwork that I offer. That being said, I do offer a 50% discount on digital packages when purchased with a signature art product (canvases, metal prints, etc) so please keep this in mind. I also will provide a complimentary watermarked digital image (sized to share on social media), for any piece of wall art you decide to buy. I have samples that I am more than happy to show you if you would like to see and touch these items in person.

“HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO MAKE MY CHOICES, AFTER VIEWING MY GALLERY?”

Your gallery will remain active for 72 hours after it is sent to you. After 72 hours the gallery will auto-expire and a $25 fee will be applied to re-create the gallery.

“CAN I BE IN THE PHOTOS WITH MY DOG?”

Of course!! Although the majority of the images we will capture will feature your dog (or dogs) only, I welcome any and all family members to attend the session if you would like to be in the photo with your dog :) I always try to achieve a variety of images for your gallery. If you have multiple dogs I also like to get both individual shots of the pups and shots of your dogs grouped together.
