My dog is wild! Will you be able to handle them?

Without a doubt. I've worked with some very energetic dogs before, and while it may be a challenge, we always get the shot we need.

My dog has to stay on a leash. What does that mean for our photos?

Don't worry! What you don't see is that most of my models are on a leash, but I can just remove that in Photoshop.

Do you charge extra for more than one dog?

No, I don't! As long as all of the dogs are from the same home, there is no limit.

Where do the photoshoots take place?

I shoot on location, which means that we have a full run of the city! I often find that the best place is your dog's favorite park.

What time of day/week would my session be?

Photography sessions usually take place in the evenings around sunset. If that doesn't work for you, we can find another time during our Pre-Session Consultation.

I don't have a dog, but will you photograph my cat/bird/snake/etc?

I am thrilled to photograph any animal! The only thing to note is that I am no longer doing indoor photoshoots due to COVID, so while I would be thrilled to photograph your pet, we are limited to sessions that take place outdoors.

What kind of equipment do you use, and what experience do you have?

I use a Nikon z7, and my 2 main lenses are my 70-200mm f/2.8 and my 24-70mm f/2.8. Before photographing animals, I worked in portraits, concert photography, and real estate photography. My experiences in these fields have prepared me well for the variety of challenges that come with photographing pets!

Do you offer digital files?

I do! That being said, my specialty is wall art, and my goal is not to give you a Facebook album that you'll forget about in a few months. Every time you walk into the room and see it, you'll be reminded of the amazing times you've had with your dog over the years.

Is my pet going to want to go on a worldwide modeling tour after this photoshoot?

Almost definitely. At the very least, they're going to want you to contact Calvin Klein about a billboard in Times Square.

Photoshoot on the Upper West Side Frodo the Chihuahua and Sophie the Pomeranian Poodle

I had the pleasure of meeting Frodo, Sophie, and their humans John and Kathy last week at their apartment in NYC.

Frodo (named after the Lord of the Rings character) is a long hair chihuahua mix, was abused a left blind. However, he was rescued by the SPCA and adopted by J&K and you wouldn't know that he has ever had anything but a loving home. You probably wouldn't even be able to tell that he's blind! He's confident and has a very laid back personality. He adores NYC and all of the various smells that come with it and loves spending time in bed.

Sophie is a Pomeranian Poodle and was named for the character Sophie in Mamma Mia. She is a classic Diva! If somebody is petting Frodo, you better believe that she's going to be wondering why you aren't also petting her. In terms of energy she's the opposite of Frodo, she's very high energy! When she first moved to NYC she was not a fan, her humans even got fresh grass mailed to them each month because she didn't like the street! Likes include Central Park and squeaky toys.
