Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know About Your Session
Every session is designed to be relaxed, personal and meaningful. Whether you’re booking a photoshoot for your horse, dog, or family in a rural setting, I guide you through each step to create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork for your home. Below are answers to the questions clients most often ask.
Before the Session
-
You can book online or get in touch directly. I’ll confirm your date, discuss your ideas and start planning a session tailored to your animal or family.
-
The consultation call is a relaxed, personal conversation to understand your goals. We’ll talk about your animals’ personalities, the style of images you love, locations and outfits. It ensures your session is tailored, stress-free and completely personal.
-
Every animal has its own personality. I observe and guide them patiently. Dogs are gently encouraged, horses are followed at their pace and your comfort is always considered. The goal is relaxed, natural images that capture personality — not perfection.
-
I provide guidance on wardrobe and props that will complement your environment and the style of portraits. Nothing rigid — we keep it natural and authentic.
-
Ideally, 4–6 weeks ahead but I always try to accommodate clients’ schedules whenever possible. Some clients prefer to book several months in advance.
During Your Session

Sessions typically last 1–2 hours, depending on your animals’ needs. Time is flexible though as the focus is always on their comfort and capturing genuine moments.
