Let's talk about what a session with me actually costs, because I know pricing pages can feel like a maze, and I'd rather just tell you straight.


The short version

Realistically, most sessions start around $645 (session fee + digitals, plus tax), with many clients adding on wall art or a print, which pushes the typical total closer to $1,000+. Here's how it breaks down:


  • Session fee: starts at $150 (East Bay) or $200 (San Francisco), this covers everything from planning to travel to snackies and 30+ proofs to choose from.


  • Tabletop pieces starting at $250
  • Prints starts at $250
  • Wall art starts at $395
  • Digital images start at $495
  • Keepsake boxes start at $750
  • Layflat albums start at $899
  • Curated collections (if you want it all figured out for you): $2,000 / $3,500 / $5,000 tiers


Why I don't do one flat package


I used to. Three fixed bundles, pick one, done. But here's what I noticed: some people were paying for things they didn't actually want, like a canvas print they never planned to hang, just because it happened to be bundled into the package that fit their budget.


So now it's à la carte. You choose your session, see your gallery, and then decide what you actually want, prints, digitals, a big statement piece for your wall, or just a handful of images for your phone. Nobody's paying for a canvas collecting dust in a closet.



Worth every penny?


Genuinely, yes, and not because I'm biased (okay, maybe a little).

Here's the thing about dogs: their whole life happens in fast-forward compared to ours. The wobbly crooked ear puppy phase. The reckless, ate-a-sock-and-regret-nothing adolescent phase. The steady, easy middle years. The slower, grayer years. Each season passes so much faster than we're ever really ready for, and once it's gone, it's gone.


These photos are how you hold onto a season after it's already passed. The exact dog they were that year, that specific tilt of the head, caught right before it changed into something else.


Because someday, your best friend won't be around anymore. And what you'll have left isn't forty blurry phone photos from a walk. It's this. Something real. Something that actually looks like them, exactly as they were.


That's what you're paying for. Not a session, not a print. A season of your dog's life, kept.
