What is minimalist photography?

Minimalist photography focuses on simplicity and essential elements. Using seamless paper backgrounds, we create timeless portraits where your dog is the only focus, highlighting their unique personality without distractions.

Do all sessions include retouched images?

Yes, all sessions include retouched images in your personalized online gallery.

What's the difference between high-resolution and web-resolution images?

High-resolution images are suitable for printing, while web-resolution images are perfect for social media sharing.

Can I purchase additional images?

Yes, additional images are available for purchase for all session types.

What should I bring?

Just bring your dog! We provide small training treats in the studio, though you're welcome to bring your dog's favorites. We have curated studio accessories available, and you're welcome to bring personal props that complement our minimalist aesthetic.

Can I be in photos with my dog?

Yes! Our Extended Portrait Sessions (The Ninety) welcome humans in select shots. We suggest neutral colors such as creams, soft earthy tones, grays, or blacks to maintain our classic aesthetic.

How do you handle nervous or energetic dogs?

We take our time, follow your dog's lead, and include breaks as needed. We're experienced with all temperaments and never rush—the best portraits happen when your dog feels comfortable.

What if my dog doesn't behave perfectly?

Don't worry! Some of the most endearing portraits come from spontaneous moments. If needed, you can reschedule.

Where are you located?

Our Carmichael studio is 20 minutes from Sacramento with convenient parking, nearby Starbucks, and a dog park next door.

Do you photograph multiple dogs together?

Yes! The Ninety session includes up to 2 dogs from the same household. The Thirty session is ideal for one dog, with additional dogs at $25 each. All sessions can include both individual and group portraits when multiple dogs are photographed.

Do you offer sessions for senior and sick dogs?

Yes, we provide gentle care and create thoughtful portraits to honor your dog. Choose either our Ninety or Thirty experience based on your dog's comfort level.

What finished artwork do you offer?

Our curated collection includes museum-quality prints, elegant wall art, and handcrafted albums from the world's finest professional labs. Browse options through your personalized gallery.

Do you offer monochrome portraits?

Yes! Any portrait can be provided in monochrome upon request at no additional cost.

Is there a sales meeting after my session?

No. We believe in letting you browse your personalized gallery at home at your own pace with no in-person pressure sales. We're available to help with selections, but there are no sales meetings or purchase requirements.

How long until I see my photos?

Your gallery will be ready within 1-2 weeks of your session. Galleries remain active for two weeks, then are archived. We recommend downloading favorites and placing print orders during this initial period.

More info on pricing, session details, and booking details can be found on our Info and Sessions pages.
