Our selection of choices allows you to customize a photography session that is unique and most suitable for you and your pets. Prices reflect the time and talent of the photographer and her assistants. Prices also include a Design Consultation and an Image Review.
The Design Consultation
This is the first step in your image creating process. This meeting
allows us to meet you and your pets and for your pets to become comfortable
with us. We will discuss your pets and your relationship with them.
Based on what we learn from you, we'll make suggestions for images
to capture the essence of your pet's personality and your relationship
with them. The design consultation makes the photography session go
much more smoothly.
The Image Review
Immediately following the photography we can show the images from
the session. You are guaranteed to like the images you see during
the image review. If not, we will create additional images or schedule
another session. We recommend that you consider your portrait needs
before the image review. Where in your home would you like to place
your custom portraits? Would you like images for your office or workspace?
What about gifts for family or friends? Holiday cards or note cards?
This session allows for a lot of creativity. These sessions are great for owners who are open to exploring images that are bit more artistic and unconventional.
- one photographer and one assistant
- 3-4 hours of photography
- $250 credit toward custom portrait products
This option is our recommendation for many pet owners. This option allows for a variety of images, backgrounds and poses. The extra time allows us extra time to work with shy or less responsive pets.
- one photographer
- 2 hours of photography
- $150 credit toward custom portrait products
This low cost session is best for one or two very obedient dogs or other very co-operative pets. It works best with one backdrop and a limited number of poses.
- one photographer
- 1 hour of photography
- $100 credit toward custom portrait products
It's simple to customize your prints to your needs. Simply pick any of the sizes below, and we will add them to your package. If you don't see the size you want listed, we can always give you an estimate for custom printing. You may use your session's portrait credit against the price of your prints.

For those extra-special, loved and devoted pets in your life, an ordinary print may seem like it lacks the right expression of emotion. We suggest an Heirloom Fine Art Print. These special fine art pieces begin with your customized portrait session. The best final image is then re-touched by a master craftsman to create a beautifully enhanced image with the look of traditional oil brushwork. The image is then mounted onto canvas in a 1" deep stretcher frame like a traditional oil painting. We know you will love these one of a kind heirlooms.
| Canvas Size | Price |
| 8" x 10" | $325 |
| 11" x 14" | $425 |
| 16" x 20" | $550 |
