'Tis the Season
Don't leave your pets out of the festivities!
-
We're all set up and ready, just BYOP (bring your own pup!)
Special outfits, collars, toys or silly accessories and tricks are highly encouraged! I'll have a couple of props on the set to pick from, but you're welcome to let your dog be nakey too. You are welcome to bring multiple dogs to the event. The set can fit up to 4 medium/large well-behaved dogs that can hold a sit/down stay while we shoot. If you have a group larger than 4, no problem. We'll just split them into 2 groups.
Due to locations, props and backdrop sizes, this set up is only made to accommodate dogs- no humans will be included. If you are interested in booking a Christmas session that includes the whole family, just contact me!

How it works:
Your session will include 15 minutes of shooting time and 3 high resolution digital downloads of your choosing from your gallery. Images will be ready for viewing/purchase approximately 3 days after your session and will be delivered via email, so please make sure you book your appointment with an active email!
Slots will be held to 15 minutes each. I will not be able to accommodate for no-shows or tardiness. Refunds are only given with a minimum 1 hour notice of cancellation, prior to your session. You are welcome to book another session, if available, at a later time. Please be considerate of this when booking multiple dogs, dogs/puppies with less obedience or those with special needs. If you have 3+ dogs or need extra time for any reason, I am happy to offer an alternate accommodation for you! Click here to email me.
Pricing:
-Your 15 minute session and 3 digital images will be $50. If you'd like to purchase additional images from your gallery, they will be available at a discounted rate of $20 each ( normally $30).
-Full gallery purchases will be eligible for an early bird discount at the time of booking for $100. These will include a minimum of 10 photos (well-mannered/easy to photograph dogs often get way more photos!) upwards of 25 photos. If you decide to purchase your gallery after your shoot, the price will increase to $150. Please make sure that you mention that you are interested in a gallery purchase at the time of booking to take advantage of the $100 pricing. Remaining payment will be accepted as cash, Venmo or Zelle. Sorry, Paypal not accepted.
-Digital purchases will come with a print release. Prices of prints purchased from my online store will vary by size and paper type, which will be listed in your private gallery. You will also have the option to choose between canvas, wood, metal etc. for your prints! All purchases will be made directly through my website store, which will be accessible once you receive the link to your gallery.
Images will be delivered with all professional edits pictured in these example photos. This includes color and lighting adjustments only. If you wish to have additional edits done such as collar or leash removal, these will be subject to a small fee dependent on the time your requested edits will take.
PLEASE READ OVER THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY:
**You MUST check in with someone inside the building prior to bringing your dogs in.**
- When booking a session, please be sure to use the "message" portion of the intake form to let me know the following:
- Dog(s) name.
- How many dogs you will be bringing.
- What breeds so that I can best prepare the set for the size of your dog.
- In order to maintain safety for everyone, I ask that your dogs be left in your car until their scheduled time.
- Dogs must be on leash and controlled at all times outside of the photo booth.
- While I have a lot of silly tricks up my sleeve to help get the best shots of your dogs, the quality of your photos ultimately depends on the cooperation of your dog. 15 minutes goes by fast when dogs are being naughty! It helps to train a sit or down stay on your dog prior to bringing them for their photos.
- Please potty your dogs prior to bringing them inside. The locations for these shoots are a training facility and a doggy daycare. There are a lot of different smells on the blankets and props I use and it can be tempting for even the most mannered dogs to mark, or even have a nervous accident. Don't forget to clean up after them outside as well. Pottying space is somewhat limited at the B-Hyve K9 location so please let me know if you need help finding a good spot! There is a small patch of grass near the Temple St intersection.
- Dogmode has an enclose turf potty area at the front of the parking lot that you are welcome to use.
- For the comfort and safety of everyone, people will be minimized to owners and possibly my assistant. We will not be letting people in the photoshoot area to wait for their appointments. This allows us to ensure doors are closed and the area is contained while dogs are off leash and keeps the stress to a minimum.
- Special note: B-Hyve K9 is a full time training facility, so there is a chance that there may be dogs on the other side of the room training. If your dog is reactive or otherwise excitable, please let me know in advance so that we can find the best, most quiet time to schedule them.
Here's an example of what to expect from the 2023 setup!
I will also have the usual fun props, hats, collars, ect for you guys to use in your photos!
Please feel free to bring your own props, treats or toys if you'd like.
