Who are These Sessions For

Outdoor and studio dog & family photography sessions are available at select spots throughout the Capital Region and Hudson Valley, including in Saratoga Springs, Albany and Clifton Park.

Locations are chosen based on your dog’s personality, comfort level and the look you’re hoping to achieve.

My location guide will be emailed prior to our complimentary consultation call to help guide the decision-making process.

Locations

Every family session is planned with intention and care.

Your session includes:

  • A pre-session consultation to discuss location and style

  • Guidance throughout the session with room for natural interaction

  • Images of the full family, smaller groupings, and your dog on their own

  • A curated online gallery of professionally edited images

The location — outdoor or studio — is chosen together based on your family’s needs, your dog’s comfort, and the look you’re hoping to achieve.
