FAQ
I run a shelter or rescue — how can we partner?
I would love that. If you’re part of a shelter or rescue and think my photography could help pets get adopted faster, please reach out! I’m always excited to partner with organizations doing incredible work for animals in need.
You can contact me directly through the website, and we’ll chat about how we can collaborate in a way that best supports the pets in your shelter and your mission.
Helping animals find their forever homes is something I care deeply about, and I’m happy to help however I can.
Can you still photograph us if we don't have a pet?
It depends... for a shorter session, yes! Although, I've found my niche in pet-family photography, I have taken photographs of non-pet related events. However, if you're in need of a photographer for a larger event, such as a wedding, unfortunately, that is not a service I currently provide.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! You’re welcome to choose a location that feels meaningful to you — whether that’s your home, a favorite park, or a spot your pet loves. If you’re not sure where to go, I’m also happy to suggest locations that work well for pets and photography.
The goal is to choose a place where everyone feels comfortable and relaxed, so your photos feel natural and true to you.
What is included in a photography session?
Each session includes a private 30–60 minute portrait experience for up to two people and a pet, a curated online gallery delivered within 48hrs, and 20+ digital images with full print and sharing rights.
How far in advance should we book a session?
As soon as you decide you want to do them. I only book on weekends since I do have a MTWThF job that consumes my weekday, but I can be flexible the more head's up you give me for weekends!
How can we prepare for our session?
Photographing pets can be very tricky, but I've found a couple of tips and tricks that have worked:
- Have a squeaky toy handy
- Bring training-sized treats (specifically training-sized, otherwise your pet will not need their next meal!)
- If you have a trusted friend that your pet is familiar with, bring them along as a "handler."
I’ll likely be rolling around on the ground to capture eye-level action shots of your fur-baby. If you’d like to get down to their level too, bringing a blanket for outdoor sessions—or wearing ground-friendly clothing—is always a good idea!
Can we keep our pet(s) unleashed?
It depends... if we're in your home, then absolutely! However, if we're in a public location, I would ask you to honor the local regulations. If there are no other animals/humans around at some point during the session, perhaps we can sneak in a few shots of them unleashed.
Even if we don't get this chance, I can easily edit out the leash post-production so that it doesn't become an eyesore!
Our pet is neither a cat, nor a dog...?
As long as your pet is not a snake or a tarantula, count me in! I'm sorry, but I am terrified of snakes and tarantulas give me the heebie jeebies! I'm sure they're fantastic family members, though.
