Can I
bring more than one pet? |
| |
You may bring up to three without any special arrangements. If you plan to bring more than three, please call. |
| |
|
| |
How should I prepare
my pet for the shoot? |
| |
Definitely get your pet groomed! And give your pet as much exercise as possible prior to the shoot. |
| |
|
| |
What should I do
to get ready? |
| |
Groom yourself, too. Wear makeup
(males & females!), wear solid-colored clothing, shoes
are optional, and dress in a style that you most closely
associate with your pet. If you live a formal life in a
Fifth Avenue apartment, bring a ball gown. If you take long
walks on the beach, wear shorts and bring your dog's favorite
ball or stick. |
| |
|
| |
Do I have to be
in the picture? |
| |
Absolutely not. If you want a photo session
that's just about Fido, we're happy with that, too. |
| |
|
| |
Do you require
a deposit? |
| |
We require a 20% deposit to book your date.
It's payable by check or credit card through PayPal. |
| |
|
| |
What equipment
do you use? |
| |
We use an all-professional line of Canon digital cameras (no pro-sumer, no consumer stuff here) and ProFoto lighting |
| |
|
| |
What if I get sick
or my pet is ill on our shoot date? |
| |
If you need to postpone your shoot with less
than 24 hours notice, you will incur a 50% postponement
fee. |
| |
|
| |
What if I need to
cancel altogether? |
| |
We will give you a full deposit refund if
you cancel more than 7 days before your shoot date. If you
cancel with less than 7 days before your shoot date and
cannot reschedule, you will forfeit your deposit. |
| |
|
| |
What packages
do you offer? |
| |
We offer both a studio and location package which includes your choice of prints or a custom album. If you have something else in mind, just call. We rarely say no to anything. |
| |
|
| |
What should I bring
to the shoot? |
| |
Your pet's favorite treats, squeaky toys
or other favorite distractions. |
| |
|
| |
How many pictures
do you take? |
| |
We'll take approximately 200 images of a single pet. That's a lot to work with. We highly recommend you schedule a Purchasing Session to figure out which images to print, how to crop, sequencing, etc.
For more than one pet, the minimum number of shots you
get drops just because it's harder to organize multiple
animals. |
| |
|
| |
What happens after
the shoot? |
| |
After the shoot, you'll receive a proof CD in the mail. You have the option of returning to the studio for a ninety-minute purchasing session. During this return visit, you'll view a slideshow of your top images set to music and will have plenty of time to decide which images to frame or order for a custom album.
The minimum purchase for the Purchasing Session is $500. Most people spend about $2,800 on both the sit fee and final product, so meeting this requirement has yet to be a problem for anyone.
I do ask that you make your purchasing decisions during this time. If you need to return for another session, I'll bill you an additional $500 re-viewing fee.
