Session Information and Pricing
for your Pet Portraiture Experience
From Wagging Tails to Works of Art
Every pet has a story to tell, and our session is all about celebrating yours. Together, we’ll create a fun and relaxed experience that lets your four-legged companion’s unique personality shine.
The result? Beautiful, timeless artwork or a handcrafted album that immortalizes their spirit and the love you share, giving you something to treasure forever.
In their eyes, there’s a universe of love, unspoken but deeply felt.
Through art, we honor that love and ensure the moments you cherish remain with you always.

“Marie was amazing through the whole process. She did an amazing job in making us feel comfortable and heard on what we wanted for the photos and helping us understand the process. I would recommend to anyone looking for a pet photographer that listens and understands. The results are beyond words.”

"From start to finish this was such a thoughtful, caring experience. Marie is professional, detail oriented, and very easy to be around! The photoshoot was easy and fun - no pressure for anything to be a certain way - whatever I wanted and was comfortable and doable for my 15 year old soul doggo. The products bring tears to my eyes and I will cherish them always."

Frequently Asked Pet Photography Questions
-
Your pet's safety is very important to me.
90% of the pets that I photograph have leashes and collars on and most places around Washington require pets be on leash.
All purchased images include professional retouching and leash/collar removal when needed.
-
Let’s meet up before-hand!
If you have a dog or pet who is shy, nervous or even a little aggressive, this can be a great time to introduce them to me and my camera and work on getting them used to me prior to their session.
This has worked really well in the past and has allowed me to work with dogs who tend not to like strangers very much.
We'll also take plenty of time during your session and we’ll keep our distance as needed so they can relax and be as comfortable as possible.
-
Every pet has a personality that is just oh so them.
I've worked with puppies, rescues and all sorts of different species of animals in my career, and our assistant also has a pack of 6 dogs and 3 cats at home, so she’s used to the crazy and unique personalities of our furry friends.
I've got a large bag of tricks to dig into that is sure to help even the most stubborn of dogs relax and have fun.
-
Yes!
We’ve worked with families who have a large pack of their own and been able to provide them with multiple photos of the whole crew together!
And a little secret, they don’t all have to sit together at the same time. 😉
-
Yes! We have digital only options. However, you get more bang for your buck with our products!
Every image purchased as a product comes with the matching digital file, making all products a 2 for 1 special!
All of our digital file collections also come with complimentary matted 8x10 prints if you’d like as well!
-
Not at all! We encourage pet parents to be fully involved in their portrait experience.
After all, we have 1000’s of photos of our pets on our phone (most of them while they’re adorably sleeping and not moving) but how many quality images do you have of YOU with your pets?
-
The beauty of custom photography is that you get to choose how much you'd like to invest. Many clients find they love their images so much, they want it all!
From $500 - $15,000 or more, we serve a wide range of budgets with our custom sessions tailored to your specific wants and needs.
Ultimately, the choice is yours, and we're here to guide you through selecting heirlooms that best capture the love and joy of your pet
