Pet Photography Experience

Your dog’s story deserves more than digital files. The Story Experience delivers finished artwork, not just photos for your camera roll.

The goal isn’t “more photos.” It’s creating the right photographs — the ones you’ll want to see every day in your home.

What to Expect

Every photo session I lead is more than a quick shoot — it’s a thoughtful, guided experience designed to tell your dog’s story and deliver finished artwork you’ll enjoy every day. From our first conversation through session planning, the photo day itself, and your final viewing appointment, you’ll feel supported and confident in every step.

I combine photography expertise with an understanding of dog behavior to make the experience comfortable and fun for your dog — whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between. You don’t need perfect obedience — you just need love for your pup.

  • A guided planning conversation to tailor the session to your dog

  • A comfortable, dog-friendly pace that respects your dog’s personality

  • Professional editing, including leash removal

Included in Every Session

  • A short planning conversation to talk through your dog, location or studio details, and what to expect on session day so everything feels clear and well prepared.

  • A relaxed, dog-first experience with plenty of guidance, flexibility, and time for your dog to feel comfortable. Sessions move at your dog’s pace and are focused on capturing authentic moments, not perfect behavior.

  • A curated gallery of 15 professionally edited images, selected to represent the strongest moments from your session.

  • An in-person guided viewing appointment to review your final images and select finished artwork.

  • Your experience includes your choice of a $1,500 wall art credit, a keepsake album, or a folio box filled with all 15 fine art prints. Each option is designed to help you enjoy your images as finished pieces rather than leaving them stored digitally.

    We’ll walk through these options together during your viewing appointment and choose what fits your space and how you’d like to enjoy your artwork.

  • Your experience includes the full set of high-resolution digital files from your final gallery, along with a print release for personal use. These files are suitable for personal printing up to 11×14, sharing with family, and archiving for the future.
