How to Prepare

Please call your local studio to schedule an appointment. Click here to find a studio near you.
To speed up your in-studio experience, please review and fill out our Pet Waiver Form prior to your pet photography session.
If you would like a certain prop or blanket for your session, please bring it with you. For sanitary reasons, our studios will not use provided props for pet photography sessions.
Make sure your pet has gone to the bathroom prior to your studio session. This will help prevent accidents and keep anxious pets at ease.
Bring a supply of treats or your pet’s favorite toy. Animal cooperation is critical for great photos.

A: Yes, a pet will be treated like any other subject. They count as one session fee unless the customer’s offer waives the session fee, or the customer is a Perks Club Member.

Q: Can I use an offer for a pet session?

A: Yes, most offers can be used for a pet photo session, including pre-paid offers. Check out our current studio offers.

Q: What is your service animal policy?

A: Service animals are welcome in all studios any time or day of the week. Sessions with service animals can be scheduled online or over the phone and our pet waiver is not necessary.
