Sessions are held at my private studio in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Clients travel to the studio, and full details and arrival instructions are provided after booking.

Sessions can include up to two dogs from the same household, with a $75 fee for a second dog.

That’s completely okay. Sessions are guided using a combination of pacing, encouragement, and treats to work with a range of personalities, whether your dog is energetic, cautious, or somewhere in between.

Leads are commonly used during sessions, even for well-trained dogs, and help provide gentle support in a new environment. They’re fully removed during editing, so they won’t appear in your final images.
