Session fees are for the time and talent of the photographer only and will not be applied to the cost of your images. Session fees include: 
  • Pre-session phone consultation is part of this process. It's a great opportunity for us to talk, get to know each other and design your photo session. We'll discuss the vision for your portraits. We'll review clothing, hair styles and potential props. This is important for me to get a feel for creating the images you will cherish!
  • From 30-minutes to a full day of shooting, depending on the session you choose.


Goal and Vision

My studio is the outside world ... nature, on location in North San Diego County Coastal (Carlsbad, Oceanside). Being coastal, there are great beaches to set the mood. Or if your special place is a park, that is fantastic too! Whether your portrait is if of your dog (or parrot, cat, lizard ... or yourself), there are great places to shoot. I shoot dogs in a relaxed atmosphere. I capture their personality and special energy.

 


I specialize in dog and pet photography. I let the dogs relax and have fun ... that's when the great image comes. I like to take the fun and crazy shoots. If your like to climb rocks, swim with your dog or just "make stuff up" .. that works too. If its a simple intimate portrait or something crazy ... I want you to be happy with your photos. It's your dog's session (and your too!).

But ... if your "pet" is a loved one and you want a family portrait, individual portrait, engagement announcement, senior pictures or a fashion shot, I would love to help you showcase your artistic side out.
