	Can I bring more than one pet?
	You may bring as many as you'd like. Just know that the more pets you have, the longer it takes to get good photos. If you bring more than two pets, the minimum guideline of 100 photos drops to 75 and I recommend you book two sessions back to back.

	How should I prepare my pet for the shoot?
	Definitely get your pet groomed!

	What should I do to get ready?
	Groom yourself, too! Definitely 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 50% deposit to book your date. It's payable by check or credit card through PayPal.

	What equipment do you use?
	We use Canon's top-of-the-line 35mm digital equipment, the 1Ds Mark II.

	What if I get sick or my pet is ill on our shoot date?
	If you need to postpone your shoot with less than 48 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 don't offer packages in the traditional sense. We have a reasonably-priced session fee just in case you don't find what you're looking for in your first session. If this is the case, the next sit fee is on us.

	What should I bring to the shoot?
	Your pet's favorite treats, squeaky toys or other favorite distractions.

	How many pictures do you take?
	If you bring one or two pets, we take a minimum of 125 images in a 90-minute session and 60 images in a 45-minute session. In most cases, you'll receive well over this minimum guideline. For more than two pets, the minimum number of shots you get drops just because it's harder to organize multiple animals. Please call for guidelines!

	What happens after the shoot?
	After the shoot, you have the option of scheduling an order session when you'll come back to view your proofs and various print options. If you order an additional $300 worth of artwork from this session, it's free. If you don't, I just bill you the difference between what you order and $300. Please allow about two hours to review your proofs and make your order decision in a relaxed manner.

	Why do you have a minimum purchase for Order Sessions?
	Today's modern household, whether it's a single person or a bustling, multi-generational family, is choosing to preserve its loved members with photographic art. We customize these accent pieces to best suit your decor no matter how big or small your space. Contrary to popular belief, large wall pieces in small spaces actually make a space feel bigger, not smaller. With this in mind, we create stunning portraits in a minimum size that still maintains the art's impact. This effort takes a lot of skill, time and equipment that we need to pay for. If you trust us, you won't be disappointed.
