Absolutely! In fact, that’s preferred in most cases! I can edit you and the leash out of the photo, which leaves your beautiful dog as the subject… ready to be admired! That said, you are absolutely able to be in pictures with your doggy companion if you want!

Considering that I genuinely enjoy the entire process, I tend to work quite fast and sometimes have your edited photos available in a few days. That said… I do ask for one full week to deliver the digital photo files.

Likely a week or less! I’ll keep you updated!

I appreciate the question! My favorite way to describe this situation is very similar to the professional photography experience which you’re already familiar with. For example, you likely have a phone which is capable of taking “nice” pictures. Still, it’s reasonable to contact a photographer when serious quality and editing is needed for a special occasion. That’s where I come in! It’s quite the same with having prints made. Can you technically take your digital photo files to Walmart, CVS, or Walgreens to have prints made? Absolutely, but these photos are certainly worth more than what the results of that will produce. If you have pro-quality pictures, have pro-quality prints which are worthy of such a thing (especially when on display in your home and honoring your pet)! I have a running account with a lab that specializes in gallery/archival-quality printing. I have their software and ICC profiles… and know how to use it all! Just as there is much more to photography than pointing a camera, there is more to printing than sending a file.

I currently have red, purple, and yellow! There are examples of each which you can see in my “Portfolio” page. Is there a different color that you’d like to see here? Let me know!

Monday through Thursday, I am available in the afternoon (from 1:00pm to 5:00pm). Friday, I’m available from 9:30am to just after the sun goes down for outdoor photoshoots (I love golden-hour shoots which occur as the sun lowers in the sky and of course that changes throughout the year). For indoor photos with my studio setup, I am fine with working alongside your schedule, even if that includes working past dusk. Saturday, I am available all day… from early-morning (golden-hour) to nighttime, just like Friday. Sunday, I am available from morning (golden-hour) to 5:00pm.

I will photograph any pet that you have!

Yes! I’ve worked with shelter and foster dogs, as well as dogs with zero obedience training and the photos are beautiful! Our photoshoots are fun experiences and not restricted to highly obedient dogs. I do recommend that you bring something that they value highly, be it their favorite toys or treats. Catching their attention for brief seconds in all that I need! I bring my own tools for that as well and ultimately; it has never failed!

That sounds fun! Let’s do it!

Inside of your home is the best place for me to bring my portable studio setup. I can also take pictures in your yard if that’s what you have in mind for outdoor portraits, but I also love visiting parks for outdoor photos! My favorite park is Bee Tree and you can see why if you visit my blog!

These photos are worth getting right. If that means postponing to a later date, no worries!

Typically, an hour-and-a-half or less. This usually even includes my portable studio setup/breakdown time.

I recommend giving your dog some brief exercise and a potty break before their photoshoot. Having their favorite treats or toys on-hand to capture their attention is also a great idea! If you want to be in photos, feel free to dress as you wish with that in mind. If you bathe your pet or have them groomed, it would be a great idea to have that done sometime before the photoshoot. You can take a close look at them and check for eye-boogers and other potentially unsightly things such as that, but I can always photoshop them out if need-be.

Canvas Gallery Wraps, Canvas Thin Wraps, Photo Thin Wraps, Metal, and Framed photos of the highest quality!

Absolutely! For example, in my portfolio, you can see a photo of a senior/three-legged/blind dog which had a photoshoot of his own. Total success! Please let me know about your dog’s special needs and we can work with that in mind.

Yes, and I’ll do it for free! Contact me!
