About the photoshoot
✦ In my approach, I aim to show a story of your friendship with your pet through photographs. During the photoshoot, I gently guide you when I feel it’s needed, and when everything flows naturally, I simply capture the moment. This way, the photos are truly about you and your pet.
✦ After I receive your request, I contact you and we choose the day, time, and location.
The location can be anywhere: a beach, a field, a forest, a street, a park or your home. The most important thing is that your dog feels comfortable in this location. If your dog can walk safely off-leash, it’s a good idea to choose a location where this is allowed and comfortable for everyone.
The shooting time. Outdoors, on sunny days, the light is best after sunrise and before sunset. At home, it’s better to shoot during the day.
Clothing. Here are some clothing recommendations. Following them is not required — the most important thing is that you like your clothes and feel comfortable in them.
Calm, natural colors work great. It’s good to keep the color palette simple, with only a small variety of tones.Ideally, when your outfits and your dog’s leash, harness, or collar harmonize with the location, nothing distracts from your connection with your dog and your emotions. If you use a retractable leash, it looks best when the line stays loose, not pulled tight — a tight, straight line can be very noticeable in photos. If you have any doubts, you’re very welcome to send me a photo.

✦ On the day of the shoot, we meet, get to know each other, and take photos. After that, I work on the images and send you a link to your photo album. Using this link, you will be able to download your photographs. The number of photos depends on the selected package (15, 30, or 45 photos).
✦ I use English during photo sessions. My English is not perfect, but it’s good enough to understand each other. I can also talk a little bit in Italian and I’m learning Dutch. My native language is Russian.
