In a nutshell
All sessions take place within my mobile studio, no worries about leashes, squirrels, or other distractions.
Let’s walk through our steps
-
We will take this chance to get to know each other and formally introduce our star pup. We will discuss important do’s and don’ts, as each pup has it’s own personality and needs that should be respected during the session.
-
Together we will determine the specific style and cherished keepsake you would like to achieve from the session, ensuring that it perfectly captures the essence of your beloved pup.
-
This is truly when the magic happens. During this delightful experience, we will collaborate closely to bring out the best smiles and cheerful wags.
-
Images are processed on site to achieve our desired style, ensuring each photo reflects your pup’s essence. Meanwhile your pup can relax, enjoy a leisurely walk, or return home for a nap.
-
You’ll be warmly invited back into the studio for the highly anticipated reveal. During this session, we will go through the gallery of images together and make the selects. We will then create the cherished keepsakes for your family to treasure for years to come.
Before our session:
Keepsakes:
Begin molding an idea of what you'll like to achieve on our shoot. Either a large print, gallery book or online media, we can further refine your ideas during our discovery process.
Grooming:
It’s recommend scheduling a grooming session prior to our session to ensure your pup looks their absolute best. Referrals for trusted groomers can be provided upon request.
Servicing Los Angeles & surrounding neighborhoods.
A safe parking spot in front of your home for at least three vehicles is needed for a safe working area. If we are not able to secure close parking, we can meet at a large public parking area close to your location.
FAQ’s
-
We'll do introductory exercises to help them adjust and giving them time, especially if they are rescue dogs.
I've worked with various dog sizes, personalities, and temperaments, so feel free to reach out if you have concerns about your pet.
-
Yes, you don’t need a well-trained dog for great photos. Sometimes, funny moments are the favorites! A sit/stay command is helpful, but we can still take fun pictures without perfect behavior. As long as your pet is not aggressive, we’re ready to shoot!
-
Absolutely. My studio is cozy and enclosed to let your pup explore safely, we can lose both leash and collar.
-
I’m based in the Van Nuys area, but often travel all over Los Angeles County. If you are interested in a session beyond the county, contact me for a customized travel quote.
-
All pets are welcome and I am happy to photograph any animal under 250lb. Unfortunately we won’t be able to photograph Mini Horses due to the studio size limitations.
-
Yes, absolutely. Not only would we encourage you, it may help if your pup is a little nervous.
-
The best for a calm session would be myself, the pup and one parent. This helps the pup have enough room to explore as they settle and focus.
-
Depending on the size of the pups, we can photograph two at a time. This ensures we have enough space to work and keep competitiveness low with the pups.
-
Pups under 250lbs are welcome. Larger pups will need to lay down for their session, such as Great Danes and Direwolves.
-
We are not limited to the studio if you feel like capturing your pup in a specific spot. Let’s chat to discuss what you have in mind and how we can bring it to life.
Let’s have fun
Remember, it’s all about capturing those genuine moments and having a great time together!
