PLAN YOUR EXPERIENCE
One of a kind photography for your one of a kind pet.
Serving Caledon, Brampton, Halton Hills, Oakville, Milton, Guelph and more.
Each Doggy Did It experience is uniquely designed with your specific pet in mind.
Have an active adventurer? Photography while exploring a beautiful hiking trail and swimming pond might be your perfect fit.
Have a cuddly couch potato? A more laid back garden experience, or indoor studio session would let your pet shine.
Want a combination of both? Consider a VIP (Very Important Pet) Experience to highlight all the best aspects of your best friend.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for capturing these photos of my boy before he declined. It’s amazing being able to see these photos of him when he still had energy and life. There are no words to express how thankful I am for you and these photos.”
- Alicia (Caledon)

The Process
-
Contact me to schedule your consultation. We will discuss your pet’s specific details and what your goals are for the session. If your pet has any special needs, does any tricks or has unique traits that you would like photographed please let me know during this initial consultation.
We will also discuss the print and artwork options and design a plan to create everything you are looking to get out of your experience.
Once you are ready to book, we will also discuss location options and schedule a date and time.
-
On the session date we will take some time to introduce your pet to the location, equipment and myself before we begin. This helps ensure everyone is comfortable and ready to get to work.
I will guide you through the session and provide you with tips and advice to help create your desired images.
Then, simply relax, have fun and enjoy the experience. Your dog does not need to be perfectly behaved, or be the perfect model. We will follow their lead and let them be their perfectly imperfect self.
-
Within three weeks after your session we will get together once again for your image reveal and ordering consultation.
You will have a chance a to see various artwork product samples as well as size samples so you get a real look and feel for what best suits your space and decor.
This is when you will purchase your prints, images and artwork.

Session Tips
Follow these tips to get the most out of your Doggy Did It pet photography experience.
If necessary, have your dog groomed within a week or so before the session
Have a few of your pet’s favourite treats handy, in case a little encouragement is needed
Bring any toys or props required for any special tricks you would like photographed
Choose a location that your pet is familiar with; they will be more relaxed and your photos will look more natural
Studio sessions do best in a room with a hard floor surface (no carpet), with a clear space of at least 8x10 feet
