These are just a few questions I hear from time to time… if you have more questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. Above all, I want your session to be a super fun, memorable experience, and for you to walk away with products and images that you are excited about!
My dog doesn’t know how to sit, can we get any good photos?
While it is helpful if your dog knows some commands, it’s not required. I’ve about had the gamut of behaviors come through the studio, and we always get some great images. Please don’t get angry with your dog if he’s not listening or not sitting. I have all the patience in the world when it comes to pets, and if the humans are stressed, your dog will definitely be stressed too.
My dog is not photogenic — I’ve never been able to get a good shot of him.
NOT true! I firmly believe that everyone, animal or human, can look beautiful in a photograph. It all has to do with lighting and angles and knowing what to look for to get those amazing shots.
My dog is black, will you be able to get any good photos?
It’s all about lighting, and whether we’re in my studio, at your home or outside, I find and use the best light to showcase your black dog’s (and any color dog’s!) fur. Plus, with extensive Photoshop experience, we can even bring out colors you didn’t know were there. You might be very surprised at how good your black dog can look in photos!
My house is really small, I don’t think it will look good in photos.
That’s ok! If you want the session to take place in your home, all I need is a window. We can get some great shots in a surprisingly small area, and we’ll probably go outside as well. And, the session doesn’t *have* to be in your house, either. We can go virtually anywhere! Think about some favorite places of yours, in the city, in a park, at a dog-friendly coffee shop, at a friend’s home. If you can’t think of anything, I’m happy to suggest some places that would make for a fun session.
I’ve never done this before, where do I begin?
First, just send me an email! Let me know what you’re looking for and together we’ll build your perfect session. Let me know any questions or concerns you might have, because I want you and your pets to be super comfortable with me. I’m very easy-going, and sessions are really fun, so there’s nothing to be nervous about :)
What do prints cost?
If you’re interested in a session, I’m happy to send you my price list so you can get an idea of what is going to work best in your home. I encourage you to really think about your space, and how you want to display the work.
Can I get a CD of the images?
The digital files are a wonderful keepsake that you can share with friends and family, and come complimentary when certain criteria are met. Web-Friendly CDs of all the images in your gallery come with any Collection, and any order over $400. High-Resolution CDs come with higher end Collections, and any order over $1500. You also have the option to purchase digital files individually. This is a great option if you have a favorite that you’d like to get multiple copies of, either as prints, or to use in designing your own cards online or at a photo lab.
