This is my first time running a pop-up mini-session in an event booth, so the photos on this page are examples of my style: documentary, colorful, and full of personality. The mini-session will have a backdrop set inside the booth.

The Experience

 

1. find my booth

 

These ultra mini-sessions are walk-up only. I'll also be running a giveaway for one free Pup & Me session!

 

 

2. Picture time

 

Catch your dog's attention with a treat and give them lots of love.

Don't worry about posing; my style is documentary.

 

3. Review & Pay

Immediately afterward, select your photos on the computer.

Fill out a brief form so I know where to send the photos and then pay for what you selected

4. Deliver photos

I hand-edit, remove leashes, and send you a download link!

I'm a big believer in print products, so my gallery is also linked to a professional print lab, where you can choose from a curated selection of gorgeous archival-quality prints.

Hey, I'm Jenn!

Your pet photographer

As a narrative photographer, I work with Bay Area dog parents to create art out of everyday life. Grab a toy and treats, and let's go on an outdoor adventure to your dog's favorite places. ALL dogs are welcome, including rescue pups, those with behavioral challenges like anxiety and reactivity, and bully breeds.

Questions & Answers

01.
Does my dog need to know how to pose?

Absolutely not. I photograph quickly, and you'll be able to catch your dog's attention with treats or toys.

02.
What should I bring?

Come as you are! Cute clothing and treats are welcome. If you purchased from one of event vendors, you can use those, too!

03.
What about leashes and harnesses?

Your dog's safety is my biggest priority, so leashes will stay on during the session. With the magic of editing, I'll remove the leash for the photo (unless it's somehow all tangled up). I can't edit out harnesses, so I recommend removing it right before taking the photos.

04.
What can i do with my photos?

You receive a personal-use license and a print release. This means you can use the photos on your personal social media pages, make prints, and include them in a personal email newsletter. You can't use them for commercial purposes or resale, and you can't upload them to AI to create new photos.
