Question 1

Will you take photos of any other kinds of pets besides dogs?

Accepted Answer

I talk about dogs most of the time because that represents the majority of my clients. But, I’m happy to photograph any kind of pet (except spiders because they freak me out)

Question 2

What if my dog needs to be on a leash?

Accepted Answer

Many dogs stay on leash for their photoshoot! Most leashes can be edited out; harnesses are more likely to remain in.
My #1 priority is the safety of your pet.

Question 3

What if my dog is nervous around strangers, or not good with other dogs?

Accepted Answer

I’ve fostered over 100 dogs and cats, and so I’m used to all kinds of behavior!
I know of several locations that are off the beaten path; I can use lenses that allow me to stay further back than usual; and I’m happy to get shy dogs time to warm up and enjoy a little walk before the camera comes out.
We’ll discuss how to make your pup most comfortable during your Free Consultation.

Question 4

Where do photoshoots occur?

Accepted Answer

Each photoshoot is a custom experience.
I meet with most clients in local parks or in their backyards. In-home shoots are also an option, but outdoors is preferred.
We’ll select the best location for you and your pup during your Free Consultation.

Question 5

What if my dog won't sit still or isn't well behaved?

Accepted Answer

No worries!
I’m used to working with all kinds of dogs whose training is a little ruff around the edges.  Plus, that’s part of what makes your pup unique!
It’s my job to make sure they look at the camera, and I have lots of ways of making that happen.
I also have lightning-fast gear, so all I need is a split second to get the perfect shot!

Question 6

What should I wear to my photoshoot?

Accepted Answer

Prior to your shoot, you’ll get a guide featuring tips on what to wear (and what not to wear).
If you book a Looking Glass Session, I’ll work with you 1:1 (either virtually or in-person) to help you select your outfits.

Question 7

What if I don't like being in photos?

Accepted Answer

Because you’re such an important part of your dog’s story, I strongly feel that you need to be in at least some of the photos.
There are lots of options to include you without making you the focus of the image. And, I’m happy to assist with posing and positioning to help you comfortable.

Question 8

Do you photograph humans as well?

Accepted Answer

I’m happy to include photos of humans only from any of my pet portrait sessions and I love branding sessions for pet business owners, but I don’t take any non-pet related clients, sorry!

Question 9

Can I have my photos printed?

Accepted Answer

I offer a printing service via a private lab. The web-optimized format you receive is not of sufficient quality for you to print the photos yourself. I don't offer full HD versions to my customers in order to control print quality. A catalog will be sent to you, and customized options are available on request! It's possible to see samples of the different papers and products available.

Question 10

Can I have more than one animal in the photos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no extra charge for having multiple animals in the photos. Just be sure to write them down in the pet's questionnary so that I can prepare accordingly. Ideally, I ask that you have someone with you to help if you have more than two animals. An extra pair of hands can go a long way during a session!

Question 11

My dog is at the end of his life. Is it possible to have a photo session soon?

Accepted Answer

I always have some " last minute " availabilites for situations like this. Sometimes the news come "out of the blue" and unfortunately our pet's time is limited. I make myself available quickly to offer you memories that are worthy of your pet.

Question 12

How long does it take to receive my photos?

Accepted Answer

Once you have made your choice and sent the remaining payouts, the normal delivery time is around 2-3 weeks. However, it may take longer. Delivery times vary according to the orders placed before you. I therefore never promise a precise delivery time. I do my best to get the photos to you as quickly as possible, while offering you quality.
