Puppy Portraits — Adorable Furtography

What Your Puppy Litter Session Includes:

Studio session at your home. I deliver two (2) retouched individual images for each puppy, one full body to best show off conformation and any special markings, and another personality-filled headshot as well as a group image (note: we TAKE dozens of pictures, from which I select the best ones for retouching and delivery) along with one group image

You’ll receive two (2) versions of each image file mentioned above: a retouched image file without watermark for use on your website, and a companion watermarked web-resolution version of the same image file appropriate for social media sharing

The package includes the use of any props I have for the shoot (crochet botties (I made), flower head bands, bow ties, play bed, etc.), but you’re always welcome to bring your own.

We’ll discuss if you want them naked, or identifying elements such as ribbons, flowers, bowties; the individual puppy picture files will be labeled with their names for ease of organization.

I suggest one (1) puppy wrangler for every 2-3 puppies to pull off the group image, usually my breeder clients bring along a friend or two to help with the whole process.

For first time breeders, I include a free headshot of you holding puppies from the litter so you can have it for future marketing purposes, so plan to change into a blouse that you would want to be photographed in

30 (additional image files may be purchased for 45 each)

Puppy Newborn Portraits

If you elect to do so, I offer the option to extend your puppy litter photography session to include some puppy newborn images. There's nothing cuter than a swaddled pup cuddling his stuffed toy, or a little girl with a bow in her hair fast asleep.

Creative content like these images can really set your breeding program apart and help spark interest in your puppies. In addition to the health investments you make, it demonstrates that this is truly a passion for you and that you want to show the world how much you love what you do.

Professional Photography for Dog Breeders in Alaska

Responsible dog breeding, when done right, is a major commitment of not only time, but also of money. It's a labor of love, but it's also a business. Running a quality breeding program isn't cheap. The breeders I work with devote significant time and financial resources to the dogs in their programs and in many cases, they are also beloved family members.

Quality imagery for a website and marketing purposes sets you apart and draws attention to your program's value while also educating potential puppy parents as to why they should select one of your puppies.

Professional photos can help you build your brand. When you use consistent and high-quality photos across your website, social media, and marketing materials, it helps create a professional and trustworthy image for your business.

As a Professional Photographer I know how to create a safe environment for your puppies and use lighting, posing and editing of your final images to create stunning results to set your program apart.

I'll design your session based on your input and needs, whether we're matching your kennel colors, litter theme or celebrating a holiday that coincides with their birth. Props are available to you to use at no cost during your session.

I also encourage you to take advantage of having a professional headshot with your puppies made at the same time, I offer this for free for first-time clients.
