INFORMATION & BOOKING

cat SESSIONS at home

This full at home session will be tailored just for you. Let's stay in your cat's familiar space and create custom artwork for your home! I'm based in Sacramento but travel all over the greater Bay Area (and Tahoe) for sessions at homes. I work in a casual go-with-the-flow manner to keep the session easy for subjects. We'll get a variety of posed and candid images that capture the beauty, joy and spirit of your cat.

FAQ

I'm worried my cat won't cooperate, is that a problem??

A.No problem! Whether your kitty is energetic or shy, we'll work in a way that makes them comfortable and yields beautiful images! There really is no one trick that works for every personality or energy level but one of my favorite parts of pet photography is that each session is a unique journey. I love the process of discovery and getting to know your pet's personality.

I have multiple pets. Can they all be in the session?

A.Yes, of course! I do suggest giving thought to your goals and priority. Ideally in a multi-pet session I'll try to get posed and candid photos of them together (if they are comfortable with that) and individually. But it helps to know your goal so I know best how to use our session time.

What is included with the session?

A.The Full session includes your choice of five fully retouched high resolution (printable) digital files or a $160 spending credit towards your artwork order. All printed items come with matching digital files.

Where does the session take place?

A.I am based out of Sacramento and serve the greater Bay Area, Sacramento and Tahoe. Cats are usually more comfortable in their familiar space so I recommend home sessions. There is a minimal travel fee from Sacramento to the session location.

How long does a session last?

A.Full private sessions typically take an hour for one pet, but are not timed. I'll usually block two hours and we'll go with the flow, getting a variety of shots until we feel the session is complete.

What if the weather is bad?

A.I'll begin checking the weather forecast about a week before our session and will be in touch if it looks like the weather will affect our plans. I'm flexible about rescheduling session dates.

Do you photograph people with their pets??

A.Absolutely! Usually a session focuses on your pet but you are welcome to jump in for a few shots and if your priority goal is to get shots of you together or the full family, that will be how we focus our session time.

How far in advance do I need to book my session?

A.Location session appointments are available Wednesdays and one Saturday a month. There will always be more flexibility during the week and it will depend on the season (Fall books fast). In 2025, sessions in the Bay Area will be limited to two a month.

My pet just received a bad diagnosis and doesn't have much time left. Can you fit us in?

A.Every effort will be made to get your session done as soon as possible! It is a heartbreaking fact that our pets don't live forever and sometimes a photography session is not a priority until time is defined. It is my own loss of a soul-mate cat that brought me to my calling of being pet photographer, so I understand how important these sessions are. If I am unable to fit the session into my calendar I will provide recommendations to other pet photographers.
