FAQs

Whether your dog is bouncy, shy, reactive, or somewhere in between, I want you to feel informed and confident before your session. Here are answers to some of the questions I’m most often asked.

If there’s anything else you’d like to know please get in touch - I’d love to chat!

  • As a dog photographer in Christchurch and North Canterbury, I work in a variety of outdoor locations, such as beaches, woodlands, parks, you name it! In your pre-session consultation I will find out all about your pet and what you are looking for and we will decide on the perfect location together, making sure your pet's safety is paramount.

  • Absolutely. In fact, most of the images of dogs you see here were taken on lead, and the magic of retouching removed them without a trace!

  • This is not a problem! I have two very rambunctious pups so I am used to working with high-energy dogs who struggle to remain calm at times! Working with and owning dogs over the years has taught me a lot and I understand the importance of empathy and patience when working with our four-legged friends.

  • Absolutely. As the owner of a reactive rescue dog I know first-hand that not all dogs are comfortable around strangers, other dogs, or unfamiliar environments.

    Every session is tailored to your dog and their needs, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure throughout the session.

  • Within about a week of your session we’ll meet again on Zoom for your ordering appointment, where you’ll see your images for the first time in a beautiful slideshow.

    Together, we’ll go through your gallery, choose your favourite images, and design artwork that’s perfect for your home.

    This is when you’ll make your final selections, place your order, and make payment.

    Once you’ve made your selections I’ll carefully retouch your chosen portraits and your artwork will go into production, ready to be displayed in your home.

  • I specialise in creating beautiful artwork and albums that you get to see and enjoy every day, so I don’t offer digital only collections.

    Matching digital files are included with any purchase of $1000 or more.

  • Clients come to me to create beautiful wall art and albums that celebrate the bond they share with their dog.

    Most clients invest between $1500 and $3000 on their finished artwork, while some choose larger collections and invest more.

    We’ll discuss all of this in detail before you book, so you can decide whether the experience is right for you and your budget.

    No matter what you choose to spend, my goal is to help you create something that feels perfect for you, your home, and your dog.
