About A Dog Photography | Digital Dog Session

The Digital Dog Session is a modern twist on a classic dog photography session!

Not only do you get up to 1.5 hours of photography with your dog and your family, additionally each Digital Dog Session ALSO includes 5 digital images! YIPPEE!

But wait… there’s more! Yuppers, you also get 25% off any ala carte orders of EPIC prints, wall art, albums, and acrylic blocks!

What will my Digital Dog Session look like?

It starts with booking your date.
Then we coordinate on a location.

When these align, the magic of your Digital Dog session begins! After an appropriate meet and greet with your dog we begin to stroll and chat while your dog sniffs & takes in the adventure they are being taken on.

Don’t worry if I’m not super chatty, I’m scanning to find awesome spots to ask your dog to sit, stand or lay in.

Be prepared to stop frequently! I’ll direct you where I’d like your dog to be and which direction I will be photographing from. Hold on the leash and be prepared for a plethora of silly sounds coming your way. These could be any sounds but likely a mix of meows, turkey gobbles, buzzes, high eeks and barks or howls.

Pro tip: Inform me of catch words (squirrel, grandma, car, cookie/treat etc) your dog has. These words are going to be part of the secret sauce that helps me capture your dog’s attention.

The pace of your Digital Dog Session will be easy going with an ephasis on FUN! The more fun we make your session the more fun your dog will have and the more awesome his or her images will be!

If your dog doesn’t want to sit, don’t get grumpy! We’ll do a reset (walk away and back to the spot we picked) and ask again for a sit with ample luring (remember to bring your dog’s favorite smelly treats). If your dog NOPES out of sitting after a couple of requests, then we won’t push him or her farther and we will work with a stand or lay.

Anything we want your dog to do will always be an ask. If it happens HUZZAH! If not, HUZZAH!

Remember, we are keeping your session FUN!

Your Digital Dog Session continues in the same manner until the sun begins to wane and slip into the evening. We will have made multiple stops, captured LOADS of images brimming with your dog and his or her personality and had an EPIC amount of fun! We’ll stroll back to our cars and depart homeward.

Don’t worry if we don’t get to the full hour & half of time – most dogs tend to wrap up and head to the car around an hour, their minds on their cozy beds at home! And yes, there are pups that will keep going as the sun sets! If this is your pup, we’ll continue to capture images until we run out of light!

After your Digital Dog Session

The second part of the fun begins for me! All of your dog’s images will be loaded into my software, a swoon over how awesome they are and then the culling begins. Blurry images are instantly out, similar images are weeded down to singles, debates about same poses happen until your gallery emerges.

Your Digital Dog Session will yield a gallery big & diverse enough for an album, wall art galleries, and ample digital images. Gallery size will vary, though there will be at least 20 images to pick from.

Two weeks after your session you’ll receive the link to your gallery along with ordering directions. Want to meet “in person” and talk about the images and products? We can literally meet in person or coordinate a Skype meeting. Just request it!

Otherwise, look through your images, fall in love, swoon, fall in love again and do your best to pick your most favorite ones. If you get stuck on picking (it happens more than you think) let me know and I’ll walk through the images with you.

After you order!

Huzzah! You’ve picked your favorites, assigned them to various products to bring them fully to life with.

Now the editing magic happens!

The removal of eye boogers, leashes, spare human body part and anything distracting will be removed. Thorough editing will polish each image so it is ready to be sent to the professional printing lab as well as be ready to be sent to you as digitals (they arrive via Dropbox)
