Commercial Pet Photography Frequently Asked Questions:
What are your commercial animal photography rates?

Can I ship my pet product to you and have you shoot it remotely?
Yes! While you're always welcome on set, most brands prefer the convenience of shooting remotely. Want to join the shoot from afar? We can arrange a video conference during the shoot so you can see how it's going.
We want a specific breed/age/look for the doggy model. Can you help with that?
Absolutely! I've got you covered with an extensive dog talent network covering everything from Afghans to Zuchons and all the breeds and mixes in between, as well as many rare, hard-to-find breeds. Or maybe you need a specific action to be performed for the photo—I can help with that too! My large dog network ensures that we can get you the right dog for the job!
Do you offer dog and owner lifestyle Set-ups?
Yes! One of the best ways to show off your product is with Lifestyle photography, and that means including a human model with a dog. We can discuss any specific model requirements during your consultation
Are you available to travel for the shoot?
You had me at "travel"—I’m in! Please Contact Me to discuss your local or international shoot needs so that I can provide you a custom quote based on your project needs.
