About
Two of us, every session.
One shoots. One handles. Your pet always has a person on the floor, so you can be in the photos or just watch.
Patrick shoots.
Patrick spent years as a professional photographer before real estate. He built The Alcove, our small studio in Virginia Beach, for portraits and movement work, and it turned out to be exactly the room a pet portrait needs: a wood floor, an arched window, real studio light, and a gate at the stairs.
The look we chase is painterly. Studio light on a dark or light backdrop, the kind of portrait that reads as a painting from across the room and holds up at 24x36.
Sara handles.
Sara runs the planning call, the prep guide, and the floor during the session: treats, the squeaker, the leash, the breaks. She is the reason a nervous dog relaxes and a cat decides to cooperate. She also runs the ordering call, where you see your pet on your own wall before you choose anything.
We work from the studio or come to you in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake. The studio address goes out with your booking, not on the internet.
