Pet Portrait FAQ's

Sessions are held either in my studio in Grayslake, IL or anywhere in the great outdoors.  Many local parks and forest preserves have amazing backdrops year-round.  Cute urban areas also provide amazing photo opportunities.  I have many options available depending on what your vision is for your artwork.  We will discuss this during your preconsultation.

My typical session is geared for up to 2 dogs.  We can do more but depending on what we are trying to accomplish we may need additional time and I suggest bringing a helper!!  Absolutely you can be in them too - I love to capture your connection to your furry pals.

We deal with MANY types and anxiety levels of dogs.  As part of our pre-session consult we will talk about that and decide what location would best suit their needs.  Keep in mind I am all about safety first so unless your dog has incredible recall we can/will keep them on leash at all times - I can easily remove them in photoshop.

Let's face it - there is NOTHING like the cuteness of a puppy!  A little later in life pets often become more calm and perhaps easier to conform to our request and of course as a pet ages it is always important to document them before they leave us.  So in answer to when is best - ANYTIME!

Session fees are $350 and include a $250 print credit.  Clients typically spend $500-2000 (some more, some less).   Payments plans are available for orders over $2000.
