* Typically, my pet sessions are held outdoors but if your pet is unable to leave home, travel or walk well we can make plans to have the session take place at your home.
* For locations away from home packing their favorite treat or squeaky toy is a great idea! Also, water if it's a hot day so your pet doesn't get thirsty :)
* Pets are leashed in these outdoor sessions and then digitally retouched during editing where applicable
* Contracts and waivers are signed for each pet session
Are you unsure what your vision is for your pet's celebration of life session? Let’s talk about what you’re hoping to do with your images — I’m here to help guide you to the perfect fit!
** If you wish to send me 'inspiration' photos, please be sure they are from my own website or my Facebook page and not Pinterest or from a web search. I prefer to photograph in my own style and cannot replicate certain poses or ideas **
