On-location pet sessions are more about capturing the feeling of place and time. Who’s there, what are they doing, what's it like outside. Movement and stillness. Portraits and candid moments. Being able to utilize the surroundings to help tell more of the story of your dog*.
I love all animals equally, however, with over a decade of experience photographing animals who are either in, or have been in the care of a rescue or shelter I tend to gravitate to those who need a little extra help in this world. So whether your dog is the happiest-go-luckiest, or fearful, shy, or not great with other dogs, can't sit/won't sit... or maybe older, slower or palliative, I'd love to meet them and help capture all that you love about them.
The only thing a dog has to do in one of my photo sessions is "look cute", but every one of them nails it 100% of the time!
* feel free to substitute your pet --cat, horse, bunny, rat, cow... whatever your little buddy may be!
ON LOCATION session fees start at $275 for one dog, with additional pets welcome for $50 each.
Included in an On-Location session:

Location options - your place, a favourite park or beach seem to work best. I have some favourites if you need help deciding (travel fees may be charged for locations outside of Greater Victoria)
The photo session time of one hour for one dog, up to 90-mins for two dogs (a second handler must be brought along if more than one dog)

The following are available for additional costs with prices for printed products dependent on market costs at time of printing.
My custom books are full colour and I take great care in sequencing the images inside. Some display them on a coffee table, some like to revisit the pages curled up on the sofa, some include them in an altar.
