Discovery Call: A time is scheduled on my calendar for a phone call to discuss your session and your plans for your artwork: We will then meet in your home or a pet friendly location so I can meet your dog and get acquainted. We will then choose the time and location for your session.
The Session: There are a variety of locations that can be used for the session. If your pet is reactive I’ve got you covered. Don’t worry about your dog having to be on a lead, we will still get beautiful images.
The Reveal: One to two weeks after the session, we will meet to reveal your images and choose your artwork. Once your artwork is finished and arrives, it will be delivered by me, or I will arrange to have it shipped to you.
Signature Session (Pet Only) A session of 60-90 minutes depending on the number of dogs. If more than one dog it will more like be closer to 90 minutes to get a variety of shots for each dog. This time frame may be longer due to weather conditions and the number of breaks needed for the dogs.
Milky Way Sessions (April to October) If you love the idea of your dog photographed under the stars, you will love our Milky Way sessions. Imagine a warm, clear summer evening where your pet would be photographed just as the sun went down and before it becomes truly dark. Then as true dark happens, having images of the Milky Way taken and the two photographs blended together to create something magical, where the natural world meets the cosmos. The contrast between the familiar, earthly presence of your dog and the ethereal, infinite night sky creates a sense of wonder and connection to the universe, a piece of art that you will cherish forever.
When you book with Diane Davis Photography we will take care of all the details. You and your dog just need to arrive prepared to have a great time!

Frequently asked questions:
My dog is reactive, we will never get good photos of him/her.
No worries. Safety is my number one concern during a shoot and we can find a location with fewer distractions and let the dog have a great time. If a fenced area is required a Sniff Spot can be rented for an additional charge.
My dog can’t be off leash. How can we get photos without the leash and collar?
Leashes and collars can easily be removed during post processing. It is rare that a session would happen for a dog without a leash and collar.
My dog won’t look at the camera. How can we get a good expression?
I will usually start the session with the action photos being done first and further away from the dog so it will get used to having a person with a camera around. This is also part of the process of me meeting your dog before the shoot so it is familiar with me. I also have a quite extensive bag of tricks to get your dog’s attention.
Do I have to be in the photos?
Not if you don’t want to. But I like a to take a few shots of you and your dog together in case you decide you want those images later.
Who can come to the shoot?
You, your significant other, and your dog/s. I don’t allow additional people or children at the shoots. Your dog will be distracted enough by the location and every thing else going on that we need as few people as possible to work with him/her effectively to get the images we want.
