These sessions are designed to meet your dog exactly where they are. With years of experience working with all kinds of temperaments, I adjust the pace and energy to what your dog needs, whether that means slowing down, giving extra space, or bringing the energy up when it's time to play. They don't need to sit, stay, or pose. Their personality, quirks and all, is the whole point.

Safety always comes first, and most dogs stay on leash during their session. I'll guide you on how to hold it so your dog stays secure, and I remove it in post-processing so your final images feel natural and uninterrupted.

Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Solid colors, minimal patterns, and coordinating (but not matching) outfits work best for group photos. I'm happy to provide styling tips!

That's completely okay, you're not expected to know what to do, and your dog certainly isn't either. There's no wrong way to show up. I'll offer simple direction when it's needed, but most of the time it feels more like spending time with your dog than performing for a camera.

Every print you purchase includes the matching digital file, so you can share it for years to come. If you'd rather go digital-only, that's available too, purchased separately. But there's something different about walking past your dog on the wall every day instead of scrolling past them on a phone, and that's the experience I build sessions around.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can reschedule for another day or move the session to an indoor location. We’ll stay in touch and make the best decision together.

We're lucky to be surrounded by beautiful, dog-friendly spaces here in North Idaho. We can visit your dog's favorite spot or explore one of my favorite locations. For dogs with mobility concerns, I choose accessible, comfortable spots, and sometimes the most meaningful place to photograph them is right at home.

The session fee is $350, which includes your portrait session and a $100 credit toward your artwork. There's no minimum order, you'll choose only what you love after seeing your images. Most clients invest around $1,500 in their finished pieces, depending on what feels right for their home.

These are the sessions closest to my heart, I call them Legacy Sessions. I understand how precious and fleeting this time can be, so I do everything I can to accommodate these requests, even on extremely short notice. Your dog's legacy deserves to be remembered.
