Awkward portraits of awkward dogs.



Whether booking for your own pup or receiving this odd gift from a friend, here are some things that will help you prepare mentally and physically for the big day:
What to wear: your favourite leash + collar/harness combo that you would like in the photos. Dogs will be on leash throughout the shoot. Solid, neutral colours are least distracting.
Where: drop-off or meeting location is Exshaw unless a location upgrade has been implemented.
Images: each session includes a set number of images in the session price. You will receive an invite to a gallery of your pup’s session less than one week after the shoot where you can choose your images (and additional images at $25 each).
Snacks Provided: dried liver. mmm. please advise of any dietary restrictions and bring alternative snacks. If your pup has a snack that you know makes their eyes sparkle, bring those snacks.

Express Session



This is a great option for ramblers (just passing through without much time), or dogs who just need an updated awkward portrait for their instagram or over the fireplace. The shoot requires 20-40 minutes of the dog’s time (depending on modelling experience) with human accompaniment. This session is shot in Exshaw unless a location upgrade is chosen.

Gallivant Session



Excellent option for the very-busy-and-important dog. This shoot offers a great variety of photos from some of my favourite easy to access locations. The shoot is 60-90 minutes with optional human accompaniment (you may wish to head down the road to Canmore for a coffee or a microbrew while you wait).

Adventure Session




This option is the most dramatic in terms of the season’s backdrops for your adventure monster. All sessions are customized your monster’s physical ability. The Adventure Session requires dog-napping your dog for 4-5 hours of one-on-one time. While we head into various nooks and mountain crannies, you could use this dog-free time for a spa day, some quiet time at Cafe Books, a drive around the Spray Lakes/Kananaskis loop, or a stroll around Canmore, Banff, or Lake Louise where there are many shops and restaurants to go into and think about your dog.
Includes 10 digital images
Location: Kananaskis, Alberta (various locations including nature walks and picnics)
