Can we include multiple pets in one session?
Yes, we accommodate multiple pets in sessions. Additional time may be required to ensure each animal receives individual attention.
What happens during the ordering session?
You'll view your edited images on a large screen, receive professional guidance on print options, and select your preferred wall art and albums.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes, we provide gift vouchers for photography sessions. These make popular gifts for pet owners and photography enthusiasts.
