GIVE THE BEST GIFT EVER!

We no longer offer gift certificates... but hear me out.

For a lot of people, a surprise party sucks. But a surprise dog photo shoot (not sure a cat would like a surprise anything)? No. That does not suck. Someone close to you would love that almost more than anything. And then who's the hero? You are my, friend. You are. Because nobody loves their dog more than your gift recipient. And in your heart, you know that. I mean, maybe better than you, if we're honest.

If you have a close family member -- your granddog or very good friend or your spouse/partner/child/fiancé/daughter-in-law/lovahhh... consider a surprise Signature or Soul of a Dog session before their special occasion or holiday. Birthday, engagement, retirement, promotion, housewarming gift, dental office grand opening, hair salon, Christmas present tucked away for later... I don't know, you would know.

Wouldn't they love a magnificent photo of their dog on their wall?

And then that portrait is the amazing gift. You've taken the trouble to convert what would be a gift certificate that may have been relegated to a drawer to a portrait, ready to wrap up as a grand present and put on the wall immediately. Oh, want someone to hang it? We can do that too.

I do so many of these sessions now, it has become one of my absolutely favorite things. That element of surprise.

It's all done for your lucky recipient and we'll even know where it looks best (living room? office? coffee table) and their personal style because you know it.

OK, let's be honest, if it's a surprise, someone is still going to be doing the heavy lifting with the dog, whether it's you, the house manager, personal assistant, Mr. Carson (Downton Abbey reference) your dog sitter or housekeeper or someone well known to the dog. This is not a session we can surprise the dog with a new face though we can bring a wrangler or trainer, for a higher comfort level.

Or let them in on it so they (and possibly you?) can be in the session as well because let's face it, the experience is a big part of the fun. (My dog can't do that... oh, my dog CAN do that! It's great and full of laughs)

We need to make this easy. It's $1200 for a framed 16x20, a size that can work on almost any wall.

If that could work... give me a call 818-481-5214 or hit that contact button below. It's worth a quick chat at least, right?

Someone personally known to the dog has to be on site! No exceptions on that. We're not surprising the dog with a "new" someone only.

And if you have a specific date in mind, this is a sooner-than-later shoot, because various production deadlines will need to be met.
