FAQ - pet photography

How far in advance should we book a pet photo shoot?

Bookings can be made in a little as 3 days either using the booking link to self-manage or contact me to book. If you have a special occasion bookings can be made 6 months in advance or even further. I will re-confirm your booking 2 days prior and changes can be made at this time especially if the weather is not looking ideal.

what to bring for your pet photo shoot?

Treats, treats, treats! If your pet is food motivated please bring regular treats and high-value treats (think chicken, cheese, hot dogs). These come in handy when we are trying to capture their attention. Bring any accessories too (like bandana, best outfit) or their favourite toys or,blankets as this will help relax and not feel so nervous..

Are the travel expenses included in your packages?

Yes travel expenses are included for locations within Bream Bay and including Whangarei.

Travel outside of Bream Bay or Whangarei may incur additional expense and details will be shared prior to confirmation of your booking.. Also there is no time limit, this allows plenty of time for your pet to feel relaxed and getting to know me so we can capture some awesome photos.

leash or not?

If I’m photographing dogs in their own backyard or somewhere at home then I opt to run the session off leash. However if we are in a busy environment filled with distractions and cars, etc then I always ask for the dog to remain on the leash. That way I can ensure the dog’s safety at all times, and run the session a little easier. Also some locations require pups to be on a leash anyway so we want to follow those rules. Then I’ll remove the leash in editing no biggie.
