Where do we make portraits?
If you live within traveling distance of our studio in Manchester, Vermont you can click here or call 802-362-7500 to schedule a studio portrait of your dog. Here is a map of our location.

We will shortly be introducing our schedule for dates and cities across the country where we will offer studio portraits.

What does it cost?
The fee for a portrait in our Manchester Studio is $850.00 and includes the photography, a set of proofs either online or on CD and a beautifully finished canvas print of your favorite pose up to 20" x 30". You may bring two dogs if you would like them photographed together. If you would like individual portraits of more than one dog the price is $850.00 per dog.

Deposit
A $250.00 deposit is needed to book your session. The deposit is refundable up to 48 hours prior to your appointment for photography. Your balance is due at the portrait session. You may pay your deposit by check or credit card.

How Does a Portrait Session Work?
After you and your dog arrive, we ask that you take some time to accustom him to the studio until he feels comfortable in the space. You will then lead him onto the backdrop and begin to pose him with our help.

We look for a number of angles to photograph the dog in standing, sitting and reclining poses. We'll make sure he looks his very best!

We generally shoot about 75 to 100 pictures which you will see during the session. If you feel that your dog's personality isn't quite there yet, we shoot another batch until the true nature of your pet had been captured and you have many pictures to make your choice from.

Finishing Your Canvas Portrait
After you receive your proofs (about a week to 10 days) you can take your time choosing the perfect one for us to finish. Once we know your preference we make adjustments to the background and contrast to compliment your dog. We also crop the portrait to show him off at his best.

We then email you a finished proof for approval. Once you are happy with the proof, the portrait is sized to fit the space where you will display it. We then make the print on the finest cotton canvas and ship it to you for framing to fit your taste and decor. We work with an excellent local framer and can offer framing suggestions to you.

Additional Poses
You may order paper prints of additional poses of your dog from our online store.
