What happens if I fail to meet my minimum print commitment? 

The short answer is, nothing. Our pet portrait clients are not required to purchase any prints. There are no penalties or surprise fees is you fail to meet your minimum print commitment. However, if you spend $750 or more with us on post-session prints within 30 days of the delivery of your proofs we will discount your first print order by $250.

Will I receive digital copies of my photos?

All Puptrait Studio clients receive web-ready watermark free digital files of their session proofs and we encourage clients to download and share their favorite images from their pet portrait session on social media. Tag the Puptrait Studio on Facebook & Instagram As we don’t watermark proofs (We think watermarks are ugly and distracting. Wouldn’t you agree?) we ask that you please tag the Puptrait Studio when sharing your dog photos on social media to make it a little easier for your […]

Why are your prints so expensive?

We get this question a lot from new pet portrait clients. There are a few reasons that our photo prints might be a bit more expensive than you might expect.

While we would never suggest our prints are cheap or something that all dog owners can afford, we were surprised to see […]

Will you photograph unvaccinated puppies?

We do photograph puppies that have yet to receive their full series of vaccinations. Please let us know if your dog has not completed their second round of DHPP vaccinations (vaccines for distemper, adenovirus [hepatitis], parainfluenza, and parvovirus) so that we can have an opportunity to thoroughly sterilize our studio work space immediately prior to your pet’s visit to the Puptrait Studio. Will you photograph adult dogs who have not received their core vaccines? We strongly recommend that all dog […]

What is the rescheduling fee for pet portraits?

Clients may reschedule up to two times with 48 hours notice without incurring a rescheduling fee. We realize that things pop up and that these days it can be difficult to know what your schedule will look like weeks and months a head of a time. But out of respect for the time of our other clients and our professional pet photographers, we must maintain some assurances that clients will show up when agreed. How to reschedule a pet portrait […]
