Frequently Asked Canine Session Questions
"Does my dog have to be off-leash trained in order to book a photoshoot?"
One of the most common questions I get is: “Does my dog need to be off-leash for their photoshoot?” The answer is........“no”
If you’re not comfortable having your dog off-leash, that’s absolutely fine! Leashes and collars can be seamlessly removed during post-production using Photoshop (see examples below).
However, if you prefer to have your dog off-leash in a safe, controlled environment like a fenced yard or paddock, it’s a fantastic way to capture their genuine reactions and unique personality. Either way, we can create stunning photos of your dog, with or without a leash.
I do recommend bringing your dog with minimal “clothing.” This means avoiding harnesses or multiple collars, as it makes editing much easier. If there’s a specific item you’d like included in the photos, such as a special collar or accessory, let me know, and we can incorporate it into the shoot!

Not a problem! If your dog is anxious or shy, we will take our time. Just make sure to inform me before your photoshop so I can be aware and take extra time to help them feel comfortable!
