The
Process
-
We typically spend up to 60 minutes or less photographing in studio with the timing being based on your pet, their patience, and their willingness to “sit and stay.”
-
Upon confirming your session, I'll be in touch to coordinate a pre-shoot consultation call. During our conversation, we will discuss what it is you would like for me to capture, what are your “must-have” images and the artistic vision you have in mind. I'll inquire about your pet's temperament, behaviors, and mastered commands. Together, we'll decide on the use of props or accessories, explore potential settings, discuss preferred colors and design styles, and delve into any AI enhancements you envision for your images.
In order to ensure a seamless process, I encourage you to share any visuals or inspiration you may have before the shoot—whether it's screenshots, Pinterest pins, or other references. You are welcome to reach out via text with any further questions or thoughts that may arise. Your input is valued, and I'm here to make this experience uniquely tailored to you and your pet. -
Upon meeting for the shoot, I'll dedicate time to foster trust and acquaint myself with your pet, ensuring their comfort with me, my camera, and the studio setting. Throughout the session, I'll position myself at their eye level, often staying low or on the ground, to capture their most authentic and endearing expressions. As the owner of the pet, I will ask you to assist me in getting the perfect looks and responses by ensuring that your pet is looking into my lens as much as possible. I will have you stand on my side or behind me so that you can give commands and while I take the photos. LOTS of treats included!
-
Beyond the pleasure of meeting you and your pet, this phase is a personal highlight for me! Drawing upon years of experience as a fine art photographer and a profound interest in the dynamic realm of AI, I delve into the creative process. With meticulous attention to detail, I curate your images, ensuring each one reflects my expertise. This stage is truly my forte. Your gallery will showcase a unique selection of the finest poses, personally chosen by me, complemented by AI-enhanced images tailored to the distinct qualities and personality of your pet. The culmination is a truly unique digital gallery, presenting an array of options for your consideration.
Please note that no unedited photos will be released to the client. Should you desire further enhancements to specific images, additional photo retouching is available for $25 per image. -
Approximately one week after your session, you'll receive an email from me with a link to your Pixieset photo gallery. The gallery will feature a selection of images with basic edits. Here you can select your favorite photos that you'd like professionally edited.
A second and final photo gallery of your favorite images will be made available as soon as possible. All final/purchased images will be high resolution photos with watermarks removed.
-
Following your session, you'll have the opportunity to purchase prints and wall art directly from your final Pixieset photo gallery.
I'm delighted to assist you in choosing the perfect options that complement your home, and I'm open to accommodating any custom requests you may have.
If you decide to place a print order, I will personally hand-deliver the artwork to your home within 2-3 weeks after your purchase.
Why Prints Matter
In today's digital age, where cell phones and digital files dominate, there's something truly special about cherished objects like professional prints. Printed wall art carries both a physical and emotional significance. It preserves the present moments, for the future, and keeps the love that you feel now alive forever.
Tangible prints transcend time, becoming cherished family heirlooms and treasured art pieces admired and valued by all. They'll spark conversations among family and friends, allowing your best memories to thrive and endure through the years.
In a world where everything is fleeting, prints carry the essence of life, love, and happiness that deserves to last a lifetime.
This is why prints matter!
Fine Art Prints
Archival pigment printing is the ideal way to output your professional photographs. Printed on Kodak Professional Endura Premier Metallic paper, the EPSON UltraChrome pigment process uses a total of 11 different inks, ensuring that even the smallest details are visible, and the colors appear freshly printed. Fine art prints are available in portrait, landscape, or square sizes.
Premium Canvas Wraps
Gallery wraps are a wonderful choice for those who want to bring a warm, calm and tranquil feel within their space. A professional photo on premium grade canvas combines traditional elegance with a modern touch.
All of the canvas prints are UV coated and hand stretched on sturdy, premium grade stretcher frames. The 1.5″ stretcher frame lifts your image off the wall and gives an extraordinarily object-focused impression. Thanks to the 9-color EPSON archival ink system, the colors have intense luminosity and extreme color gamut that will stand the test of time. Premium canvas products are guaranteed to never sag or warp.
Metal Prints
If sleek and modern is what you are looking for, then metal prints are for you. The dyes are infused directly into specially coated aluminum, allowing your prints to take on an almost magical luminescence. Metal prints have a 10mm standoff at the back, which creates a floating effect once artwork is hung. This ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof and can be easily cleaned.
