YOUR EXPERIENCE, EXPLAINED.....

The Pet Studio Experience

Studio sessions are only available for:

• Small family groups (up to 6 people)
• Children sessions 
• Pets

These sessions do not include: Maternity, Newborn, individual  6-Month Sessions,  individual 1st Birthday Sessions, Seniors, or Headshots

WHAT TYPE OF EDITING DO YOU DO?

Minor retouching will be applied to gallery proofs, with full skin retouching completed on the images you choose to purchase. More advanced edits, such as braces removal or other detailed retouching requests, are available for an additional fee.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

When it comes to clothing, I recommend coordinating colors rather than matching exactly — think complementary tones instead of identical outfits.

Don’t forget about shoes! They don’t need to be spotless (especially for little ones), but if they’re muddy, a quick clean can help keep them from drawing attention in seated poses.

I’m often asked which colors photograph best. My general advice is to avoid neon shades and clothing with very fine pinstripes, such as some men’s dress shirts, as these tend to photograph poorly.

WHAT TIME IS OUR SESSION?

Unlike my outdoor sessions because I will be using studio light the time of day is more flexible with a studio session. My studio hours are from 10am to 2pm. If you need a later time we can discuss it.

PETS & THE RULES

For pets in the studio, I kindly ask that your pet be fully potty trained before scheduling. I frequently photograph babies and toddlers in the studio, and while I thoroughly clean and sanitize after every session, maintaining the cleanest environment possible is very important for everyone’s safety and comfort. Additionally, as the studio is a rental space, accidents can create obvious challenges.

Bringing your pet’s favorite treats is highly encouraged, especially if they’re food motivated. As well as a favorite toy to help keep them engaged and relaxed.

Contracts and waivers are required for all pet sessions.

Please ensure your dog is leashed when entering and exiting the building.

Clients are responsible for any damage or incidentals caused by their pet.

A studio session may be a better option than an outdoor session if your pet tends to run off or is easily distracted.

** 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 **  

Please note: no RAW or unedited images will be delivered in your final order. Only the included images in your session or additional purchased digital files will be delivered.
