A walkthrough of the full session process, from booking to the moment your photos land in your inbox.
Not knowing what to expect is the biggest source of pre-session nerves for pet parents, not just pets. Here's the process from start to finish.
A short call to talk through your pet's personality, any anxiety triggers, and whether studio or on-location makes more sense.
Sessions typically run 45-90 minutes depending on the package, though most of that time is spent letting your pet settle in, not actively shooting. If your pet is nervous, our guide to anxious dog sessions covers exactly how we handle that.
After the session, you'll get a private online gallery to choose the images you want retouched and delivered.
Retouched, high-resolution files arrive within 48 hours, ready to print, frame, or share.
