FAQ

 

Do i need to book in advance?

Not required, but strongly recommended. Slots are limited and walk-ups are only available if there's an open gap in the schedule.

This is my dog's first photoshoot, what can i expect?

A dog friendly event can already be a bit overwhelming. Add on a strange lady pointing a big eye at you in a small space with flashing lights and squeaky noises.. yeah that can be a LOT. We will take our time and work at your dogs pace. Our pups like to keep us on our toes, some nervous pups are completely unfazed, some otherwise super confident dogs need a little more time and thats fine.

It's not uncommon for the humans to feel a bit frustrated when their dog doesn't cooperates right away. I completely understand, but don't worry.. dogs sitting down and posing immediately are a very rare exception ;). Not to mention I love a bit of tongue out action, and personality in my photos.

Otherwise expect lots of snacks, weird noises and laughter!

Does my dog need to wear a costume?

No! While I love love LOVE a cute costume, many dogs simply don't like to wear one. Your dog will look cute regardless, so please only put on a costume if it does not put extra stress on an already potentially stressful day. Same for humans, I would love some matching costumes, but it's not a requirement :).

What if I'm late or miss my slot?

I'll hold your spot for 5 minutes, after that it may go to the next person in line. Sessions are non-refundable, so please try to arrive a few minutes early.

When do I get my photos?

You'll pick your favorite(s) on the spot, and I'll upload the fully edited version(s) within 7 days.

Can I bring more than one dog?

Yes. Just keep in mind that space in the tent is very limited. I can fit comfortably up to 1 large dog or 2 small dogs + 2 people. Shoot me a message if you want to bring more pups or have any concerns/

Do you offer wall art or prints?

Absolutely! When downloading your photos you will have the option to purchase wall art, table top pieces and prints. If you have something specific in mind and would like to have a more custom piece, just shoot me a message!

" Silke is awesome, she photographed Ghim beautifully and even made me the human not look awkward. Still one of my favorite photoshoots. Highly recommend if you’re looking for pet photography!!!"
