All deposits and print orders are non refundable. We use only the best photo printers, paper and mounting materials resulting in a significant investment in production expenses for each order and as such, paid print orders can not be cancelled or refunded once placed. Gift packages and pet portrait session gift cards are non refundable and can not be redeemed for cash.
Like most businesses, we carry both commercial liability and E&O insurance.
We are not an animal talent agency. But if your commercial photography concept requires the recruitment of canine talent, chances are we can find the right dog to bring your vision to life. As one of the premier dog portrait photographers in the Baltimore / Washington D.C. region, we maintain a fairly sizable network of cooperative dogs in a variety of breeds, colors, markings, ages and sizes. More popular and common dogs breeds we’ve casted for commercial pet photoshoots: Pugs […]
We try to dedicate at least 1 day a week for the probono shooting of foster and rescue dogs in hope of helping them find forever homes. We would love to shoot more rescue dogs and expand our reach to help more rescue groups and foster organizations. But being an independent photo studio can make it a struggle to make ends meet at times. Honestly, the number one thing holding us back from photographing more rescue animals are those pesky […]
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.
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 […]
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. Puptrait prices are actually priced surprisingly competitively Amazingly enough, our prints actually aren’t that expensive compared to what other comparable photographers in the area are charging for prints. While we would never suggest our prints are cheap or something that all dog owners can afford, we were surprised to see […]
We can not work with dogs with transmittable diseases or parasites, such as fleas or communicable skin diseases, such as mange. If your dog has a communicable disease or parasite we will be unable to photograph them until your dog is healthy and is no longer infectious. We will photograph puppies that have yet to complete their scheduled vaccinations. But we can not work with or have adult dogs that have not received their core vaccinations visit our dog friendly […]
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 […]
