Outside pictures?! My dog can't be off leash outside!

That's ok too. It's actually very rare that I take pictures outside without a leash, even for the most well-behaved pups! Leashes help keep our pups safe and in the general area I need them in. Then editing magic can remove the leash easily. 

What if I want pictures of my whole family with the dog?

In general, if you want FAMILY pictures, you'll need to book a family session over at our human site Taste the World. Those images will focus on your family and we can certainly get the pup in there too!  But if you want pet pictures, you're in the right place at Snoots.  I certainly don't mind having your family or human kids in a few over here too, but this is a focus on your fuzzy babies. 

Our dog is too old/sick/disabled to leave the house. Halp!

We do house calls too! If you have a pup that wouldn't do well outside of your home, we'll come to you and keep your baby as comfortable during the session as we can. 

What should I bring to my session?

You don't HAVE to bring anything to your session other than a dog and a leash (please no harnesses). We have plenty of treats, noisemakers, props, and toys. If you WANT to bring anything, you certainly can...favorite toys, food that makes them go crazy, clothes, props, things that represent you/your family/your business, etc.  Bring it all!

What else should I know?

• Please bathe/brush your pups a couple of days before your session. Please don't take them to the groomers the same day you bring them to me. They'll be irritated and harder to chill out.
• If your pups have any food allergies or aversions, please let me know when you book.
• If you can walk/exercise your dog before you bring them in, it will be helpful. A tired dog is a good dog.
• During your session, I may need your help holding a leash, but otherwise I'll need you to be quiet and still. I need them to focus on ME while shooting.
• Likewise, unless you plan to have your human kids be in the shots, it's best if they stay at home for this one. If they do come, I just ask that we can keep them calm and quiet so your dog doesn't get too anxious. Please don't bring the teeny tiny humans.
• Stay relaxed, even if you think your doggo is being bad. I promise I'm getting some good shots regardless. Your dog can read your anxiety and will react to it.  Chill, baby. 
• Your dog has a 94% likelihood of peeing on my studio floor (I totally made that statistic up). That's ok though, I promise. I chose my flooring based on pee resistance and I have lots of paper towels. :)
