But what if my dog is…untrained?
Not to worry! 99% of the dogs I photograph are untrained. No obedience training is required to capture great images of your pets. As a professional pet photographer, I am trained to set up and pose even the most challenging subjects, capture their best expressions, and freeze great moments in photographs that you can cherish for a lifetime! Hop on a short call with me to find out more.
how it works
step 1
PLANNING CONSULTATION
We’ll meet on Zoom or chat on the phone to plan the details of your personalized session, including the location, time and even the wardrobe in case you want to be photographed with your dog.
step 2
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
This is where the magic happens and all the while we are having fun! Don’t worry at all how your dog might or might not behave. Your dog’s only job is to be a dog. You can relax and enjoy the experience.
Step 3
VIEW & ORDER APPOINTMENT
We’ll meet again online to view the images we captured during your session. I’ll walk you through the options to find the best way for you to enjoy your favourite images from the session, usually through a combination of tangible photographic products and digital files. After our call, I do final the touch up on the images and order your products.
Allow about 8 weeks for the delivery. I guarantee that it’ll be worth the wait!
