The Shoot Process

Everyone’s experience will be a little different based on their needs and wants, but here’s a quick rundown of the typical process:

  • Get in touch! Tell me a little bit about what you’re looking for and, of course, who we’re working with.
  • Next, I’ll typically ask for some photos of your pet to get a better sense of what will and/or won’t work. We’ll discuss locations, backdrop colours (if applicable), potential final uses of images (i.e. it does matter if you already know you want to build your shrine around a 36- x 60-inch canvas) as well as budget to see what works.
  • A non-refundable deposit of $150 for location shoots, or $200 for studio shoots will be required to secure your booking. The deposit then counts towards the session fee. The remaining balance is due the date of the shoot.
  • Shoot time! See the “Tips” section for some, well, tips!
  • Within two weeks of our shoot date, I’ll be in touch with some images for you to review. These will be curated and lightly edited to give you a proper sense of what the finished product will look like. 
  • When you’re ready, you’ll let me know which files you’d like and how you’d like them (prints, digital files, etc) and the final editing begins.
  • Timing for final edits will vary based on the amount of selects and potential products being ordered. Generally speaking, you can expect to have your final products within a month or so of our shoot date.
  • Once you’ve got your final images in hand, hire an agent to deal with your pet’s impending fame!
