Rates and FAQs (rev. 9/1/24)

Let's be honest and call this what it is -- custom pet photography is an investment in something that will bring you joy and warm memories for years to come. My session isn't a general family session where the pet is included in a couple of photos - there are plenty of photographers who can cover that. My work focuses on your pet(s) as the priority and then folds you into the photos as well to further document your beautiful and meaningful relationship. If you are interested in a true pet session, then please do give a shout.

Although this is a business, it is also my passion. Session and product rates are very affordable allowing most people to be able to pursue this as an opportunity to create lasting memories. Trust me on affordability as I've compared prices with other local pet photographers, most recently here in the Charleston SC area, where even newcomers hit the scene with surprisingly high rates! I personally prefer to make this less about pressure and numbers, and more about you choosing the images and quality products you love and want to last for a lifetime. Once we schedule your session, I will send out guide documents that include most everything you may need to know before your session.

Session Rates as of 1/1/24

Gift Certificates available year-round for the special pet person in your life! Please contact me for additional information.

2024 sessions include three high rez digital files with associated watermarked copies of the same images. Other digitals, prints or products are offered separately as both packages and as a la carte items. In some cases, a trip charge may apply. Unless otherwise indicated, S/H and any applicable sales tax are not included in standard rates or special offers.

Notes:

Outdoor Sessions: I have a location list you can review or we can discuss a place that is meaningful to you; if you have a nicely landscaped/photo-friendly property, that works too!

Goose Creek studio sessions: It's a small but efficient use of space; not optimal for larger groups. Let's chat about your headcount and see if it's a viable option. Mobile studio sessions are also offered where I bring my gear to you and we set-up in your space.

Legacy Session. Please click here to read about my program for terminal (cancer) pets.

Deposit. At the time of scheduling, a $50 non-refundable deposit will be required to confirm your session and hold the calendar date for you. The session will not be considered confirmed on my calendar until the deposit is received. The deposit will be applied to your session fee, but will not be returned to you if you cancel altogether. So please be sure before you commit. Things happen - reschedules can be accommodated; I only ask for notice so that I can refill the space with a client, or shelter date.

Wall art, custom albums, prints and other items may be ordered under packages or as a la carte, with add-ons available. When your proofs are ready, a gallery dropdown menu will be available; you will also be provided access to a product page that shows corners, backing, product depth, etc. Digital collections re also available for purchase, both as print-ready files, as well as social-media versions.

The minimum purchase requirement has been removed for sessions scheduled after 1/1/24.

Discounts: Rescued pets, military (active or retired) and LEOs receive 10% ordering discount.

Trip Charge: Nominal charge may apply depending on your location - please inquire.

Editing Time: No charge for edits i.e., leash removal, light skin filtering; however, if extensive edits are requested, additional fees may apply. More challenging edit requests like head-swaps that are more time consuming will incur an editing charge. If your requests will be cumbersome, we will chat about it beforehand so there are no surprises.

Third party print/product prices are subject to change without notice. Session rates listed are current as of 1/1/24.
