How it works

Pets are the main focus of my photos, but I do photograph pets AND their people too!

Mini-sessions are often 20 minutes - 1 hour

Artisan Sessions are often 1-3 hours

We'll work together to determine the best location for your photoshoot, largely determined by what works best for your pets. Sometimes clients have a specific location in mind, oftentimes they rely on me to make the final decision.

I will travel to surrounding towns (Orland, Durham, Paradise, etc.) for consultations, photo viewing/ordering appointments, and product delivery. However, all photoshoots are always conducted in Chico.

My photo service is geared towards providing physical products, so I do NOT provide just digital files. Digital files do come with purchase of physical products though.

For shy pets, I use positive-reinforcement techniques to build their trust at a pace that is comfortable for them. It generally only takes 1 time for me to meet a pet to befriend them, even the shy ones. However, I’m willing to meet with you as many times as needed before we move onto the photoshoot if pets are particularly fearful.

I can also use my longer lenses to maintain a distance the pets are more comfortable with while still being able to snap the images I need during our photo session.

No problem! I always offer home photo sessions. This is sometimes best for dogs that can be aggressive towards strangers/other dogs. It's also often the only choice when photographing cats or other small animals.

When photographing dogs, that vast majority of my photos are actually taken with them on-leash the entire time! Leashes are digitally removed afterwards during my editing process.
