What we make together is more than a collection of photos.
It’s more than pictures printed on paper.
It’s more than meets the eye.

It starts with a conversation.
During your initial consultation, I want to hear as much about you and your dog as you’d like to share. We can discuss all the details that go into telling their story, so any questions you have will be answered in this meeting. Consultations take place via Zoom.
When you decide to book your session I send a contract and invoice for booking via email.
We’re gonna hang out and make some art.
Sessions can take place just about anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. At home or in the wild, we go where our hearts are calling. If you’re not sure where you want to go yet, that’s ok. We work together to find the perfect spot where your dog will be happy to be doing the things they love.
A vision brought to life.
The first time you see the photos from your session is when we meet over Zoom to go through them together. I’ve taken the time to curate a collection that represents the vision of your Soul Dog’s story. You’ll be presented with artist recommendations (a mockup of your SoulDog Book and ideas for wall art add-ons). By the end of the meeting, we’ll have made final image selections for your SoulDog Book, and added on any additional art pieces. You’ll pay the remaining balance for your artwork, and then the advanced editing and design process begins.
Your story in print.
The best day of all is the day you receive your finished, printed artwork. Some specialty items take a bit longer to create, so expect printed artwork to be ready between 4 and 6 weeks after your order has been paid in full and any designs have been approved. I check each item to be sure it looks beautiful, and then arrange for pickup or delivery of your finished order.
Some things you might be wondering about.
YES! No matter where you’re at in your journey with your dog, we can work together. I believe all dogs are Soul Dogs for the people who love them. One will never be like another, but that doesn’t mean they don’t hold their own special place in our hearts forever.
PLEASE be in photos with your dog. I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am to have booked TWO professional photo sessions with my Soul Dog before she died. The photos of us together, just being our wild selves, are some of my greatest treasures.
If you’re nervous about being in photos, I get it. It can feel awkward not knowing what to do, or what’s happening behind the camera. But here’s the thing. When you are with your dog, just being in the moment together, you are absolute magic. We’ll work together to create a fun, joyful, and stress-free experience for you and your dog. If anything awkward comes up, we take a break, regroup, do some zoomies, and continue living in the moment where you and your dog are in your beautiful light.
Afterwards, you’ll be so happy to have photos that show just how amazing you are with the dog you love.
That’s totally okay! Many of my sessions take place on leash in beautiful spaces. The safety of your dog is most important which is why I do leash removal in post-production. An at-home session is also an option if that’s where your dog is most comfortable.
This is a common concern of first time clients. We love our free-spirited dogs, but it makes it hard to capture their sweet faces when they are bouncing around so much. Luckily, I’m a professional photographer equipped with not only the proper equipment, but the knowledge to create beautiful portraits of even the wildest dogs. I’m also a free-spirited animal, so I’m always up for the challenge.
An untrained dog can still have beautiful photos taken. I do recommend that for your dog’s best interest and safety, you take some time to work on basic commands. There are many wonderful trainers in the greater Seattle area who can help you and your dog become a wonderful team.
I’m so very sorry for what you’re going through. Yes, it’s possible to book an emergency session. I encourage you to email me as soon as possible so that we can schedule a Legacy session for you and your dog.
Yes! I also love working with clients who would like to have their cats or horses photographed.
If you’re looking for a session to tell your cat’s or horse’s story, go ahead and book a consultation, and we’ll talk details!
Your SoulDog Book includes 30 of your favorite photos from your session. I curate a design to show you at your Artwork Design appointment, but you will have the opportunity to select final photos. Additional photos may be added onto your design for an additional fee.
With your SoulDog Book, you also receive matching digital files of the photos you select for the book. These files are large enough for you to print up to 11×14 inch prints. If you would like to purchase larger wall art, we’ll go over those details during your Artwork Design appointment.
The SoulDog Book starts at $5000. Your session and the 30 photos are included in this amount. Travel fees (including overnight accommodation) may apply to sessions outside of the NW Washington area.
When you book your session, you will pay 50% of the total, and the remaining 50% will be paid at your Artwork Design appointment. Any other add-ons (wall art, more photos for your SoulDog Book, etc) will be paid for at your Artwork Design appointment as well.
Nope.
The SoulDog Book is what we do together. There are no options to just get digital files.
If you know that you want one epic wall art piece (24×36 inches or larger), or a collection of pieces (3 or more individual pieces) to display in your home, we can definitely chat about what that could look like. If you do not want a SoulDog Book, then we will only be focused on the images you want on your wall. Book a consultation for more information about wall art.
