Yes, the little darlings are people too. We do many pets, pets with families and pet shows. Our studio and reception room was designed with the little creatures in mind. Like kids, that special moment for a family heirloom demands patience. We all too often hear, "My dog won't sit still for pictures." They don't have to! (Neither do kids.) Let them do their thing - my job is to make it happen. We have our tricks. The secret is you have to relate to what is being photographed. Some clients would rather watch the photographer.

Our guarantee still applies with pets - if you are not satisfied we will do what is necessary to make it right.

CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT

This is necessary for dogs and cats. Just like kids, they need to 'scope' out the place (and me) so the next time nothing is mysterious and we can get right down to work. We spice it up with treats of course. While they are doing that we chat and view samples. If you like what you see a small retainer will reserve your time slot.

SCHEDULING

Time is often available on Sundays throughout the year and days or evenings. Saturdays may be limited. With a pet we can usually get you in and out quickly. Two or three at a time takes longer.

THE SESSION

Several choice backgrounds are available. Poses will be of the entire body, three quarter and very close up. Add to that your ideas and we're done.

VIEWING AND ORDERING

As the shutter clicks images may be seen immediately on a monitor. This is exciting. You can order images when we finish at this stage without additional viewing time. It's quick, easy, and efficient.

Of course can't do all pets in the studio. We will travel to your location. Call with your ideas.
