Frequently Asked Questions
The vast majority of dogs are on leashes during our entire session because safety always comes first. The reason you don’t see leashes in my portraits is because I have a special leash for clients to use that is made from the fabric of Harry Potter’s Cloak of Invisibility.
Okay, not really, .. but I will remove them during my retouching process. 😉
I promise that your dog won’t be the first or the last that runs around like the tasmanian devil during a session! It’s an important and fun part of the session to capture your animals just being themselves! However, I do have tricks up my sleeves to get the images you’ll love.
(Exception: I’m unable to accommodate dogs that bite or are physically aggressive because safety is our first priority – but I’m happy to refer you to a local professional dog trainer just drop me a note here.) 🙂
Meeting new people and objects can be scary – I totally understand. We will take extra time to have a relaxed meet and greet before the session. I’ll have yummy treats on hand and let your dog sniff my camera and lenses. Fun Fact – my camera is perfect for animal photography as it does not make any sounds at all! I have long lenses I can use to be a fair distance away and all the patience in the world.
Living in Calgary with our constant weather changes that’s bound to happen from time to time. No problem we’ll simply reschedule for the next available date.
A bath the day before is just fine! I have found that clients like their images to represent how their dog looks on any regular day. If you’d like to have your dog groomed with a full body cut then I’d suggest having that done about 10 days before the session. Generally right after the groom their hair is shorter than a ‘regular day’ therefore a week or two of regrowth is suggested.
There is a variety of heirloom quality wall art, album and keepsake choices for you to choose from. You’ll receive my artwork guide which has all the information on artwork options, sizing, pricing and more. Complimentary artwork consultations are included in every client experience!
Yes and yes. I offer flexible pre-payment plans that are customized for your needs. A thing of beauty is a joy forever…especially when that “thing” is artwork featuring your loveable hairy low-rider.
