PRIVATE PET PHOTOGRAPHY
MORE THAN A SESSION. A GUIDED JOURNEY.
Preserve those moments most precious to you in timeless, tangible artwork.
Experience a guided journey that's made with care and made to last.
This isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s a legacy session created for people who love their pets like soulmates.
​
Whether you're worried your dog won’t sit still, unsure what to wear, or wondering where the session should happen—you don’t need to have it all figured out. That’s my job. I’ll guide you through every step, with clarity, patience, and a deep understanding of what this moment truly means.
​
From the first conversation to the moment you hang your artwork, everything is tailored to honor your bond.
Because one day, you’ll look at what we created together and say,
“I’m so glad I didn’t wait.”
Ready?
The Roadmap
Step 1: Complete the inquiry form.
I'm here to capture the raw, genuine moments you share with your pets throughout their lifetime. Because they deserve to be remembered.
Step 2: Let's meet!
We'll hop on a Zoom call to get to know one another and make sure we're a great fit! This is also a great time to learn more about you, your preferences, and what you're looking for in a photographer.
Step 3: It's planning time
Once you're ready to move forward, I'll send over your paperwork along with a questionnaire on your specific preferences, inspiration, locations, etc. If you need help planning it all out, I'm your guy every step of the way!
Step 4: Your scheduled session
Once the big day arrives, I'll be there to document the raw, genuine moments with your pets. My focus is on telling their story simply and elegantly, whether at home or outdoors.
​Step 5: Ordering Appointment
Shortly after your session, we’ll have the photo reveal and ordering chat via Zoom where you can select your favorites. We’ll work together to curate your wall art and pick out the best products for you!
"I am not a big fan of having pictures taken of myself so this isn’t normally something I would have sought out to do! But I had such an amazing experience! CJ made me feel very comfortable, and he was absolutely amazing with my pups especially because they were nervous! I think we all enjoyed ourselves more than we ever knew we would!"

LET'S TALK
All sessions include a planning call over Zoom, the portrait session, and a product consultation. Edited images are able to be viewed at the product consultation, which will take place usually the same day as the portrait session. Any portraits you purchase will then be further edited to ensure they are top-quality and all leashes will be removed from the images.

Your love deserves more than a digital file.
Too many beautiful moments end up lost in the cloud or forgotten on a hard drive. But not here.
​
When your portraits are ready, we’ll sit down together and curate the perfect way to showcase them. Whether it's a signature wall piece, an heirloom album, or a storytelling folio box, we’ll design something that feels right for your home and your heart.
​
You’ll see exactly how your artwork will look on your walls—no guesswork, no pressure. Just clarity, care, and confidence.
​
We’ll go over all your artwork options and investment details during your planning consultation.
Most clients invest between $1,500 and $3,000 in their custom artwork. Some go beyond. There’s no pressure. There are only options. You’ll be guided every step of the way. (Financing options are available)
-
What if My Dog Won't Sit Still?It’s OK! I only need a fraction of a second to take a fantastic picture of your dog – no matter how fast they’re moving.
-
What if It Rains/Storms/Hails?If the weather happens to be bad, I will do my best to reschedule the photography session for another day. It’s not the end of the world!
-
What if I Need to Cancel or Reschedule?If you request to cancel the photoshoot or fail to show for the arranged photographic event time, all monies, including the non-refundable reservation retainer, shall be forfeited to the photographer. If you desire to reschedule, you are allowed to reschedule one time for any reason. After that, there is a $50 rescheduling fee.
-
Can I prepare for and be in the photos too?Of course! I recommend you dress appropriately for the weather and location the photo shoot will be taking place, but you are more than welcome to join in the photos!
-
Do you only photograph dogs?I specialize in working with only dogs and cats! They’re fun and easy to work with and also what I encounter the most often 🙂
-
What About Leashes?It’s totally OK if you’re dog is on a leash – even for the entire session! Leashes can be easily edited out of the picture so you can’t even tell one was used.
-
Where Does the Portrait Session Take Place?When you book your session, you have two options: either at your home or at an outdoor location, such as the dog park, a park, or some other urban adventure. I have a list of 10 recommended locations in the Colorado Springs area and I am sure we can find the perfect fit for you and your dog!
