FOR GUARDIANS OF SENSITIVE ANIMALS

If you’re here, it’s likely because your animal isn’t the kind who fits into fast-paced photo sessions — and I see you.

Whether they’re aging, in pain, near the end of life, slow to trust, or healing from trauma, these are exactly the souls I work best with. I approach every session with patience, gentleness, and energetic awareness — creating space for your animal to be seen for who they truly are.

This is not traditional pet photography. These sessions are slower, more intentional, and centered around emotional safety — for both your animal and you.

Please take a moment to explore the session options below. If you’re unsure where your animal fits, feel free to reach out — I’ll help guide you toward what feels best.

FAQ

Are additional animals allowed?
Yes. Additional animals are welcome for $100 per individual. Please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.

Can I purchase more images?
Absolutely. Additional images beyond those included in your session are available for purchase. If you think you’ll want more, please inquire ahead of time so I can be sure to capture a wide variety.

Is travel included?
Travel is included for locations within 8 miles of my base. For anything beyond that, a small travel fee applies depending on distance.

What if my animal needs more than what's listed in the sessions?
For highly sensitive or complex cases that may require extra visits beyond what’s included (such as more than 3 visits for trauma-sensitive animals), I offer custom pricing. Let me know what’s going on, and I’ll do my best to accommodate with a plan that fits your animal’s needs.

Do you offer one-on-one co-regulation or energy support sessions without photography?
Yes. I offer individual co-regulation sessions for animals who may benefit from gentle energy support, nervous system calming, or just a compassionate presence. These can be especially helpful for trauma recovery, emotional processing, or difficult transitions. Please inquire for availability and pricing.

How will I receive my images, and when?
All sessions include high-resolution digital images delivered via a private online gallery. You’ll receive your gallery within 1–2 weeks after your session has been completed.
