Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Do you charge extra for more than one dog?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

Where do the photoshoots take place?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What time of day/week would my session be?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

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!

Question 8

Do you offer digital files?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

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