The Process

1. Consultation

When you contact us, we will call you to get a good understanding of what you want. If we are a good match, we will come to your home to discuss products and pricing in detail and to help you pick our clothing and accessories or other things needed for the photo session.

2. Photo session

During our session we will take as much time as needed to get the images you desire. Session typically last between 1 and 2 hours, but may take longer depending on the needs of the client.

3. Ordering session

One to two weeks after our photo session we will get together in person or via zoom to look at your images. You will pick the images you love and the products you desire. I will then order them and when they are ready, I will deliver them to you in person and instill them for you if desired.

What People Are Saying

I had found out about Stephanie's pet photography business through Facebook & contacted her about taking pictures of my dog. The whole experience was great from beginning to end. She was willing to meet me and my dog at a local park where she had scouted out a few locations that worked wonderfully for our session. I am so happy with how the pictures turned out & ordered some prints from her too. I would absolutely use Stephanie again for pictures of my current dog but also dogs that we have in the future.
