Book a Consultation

Tell me about your dog.

Every portrait starts with a conversation. Share a little about your dog and I’ll be in touch personally to plan your consultation. No obligation, no pressure.

Only your name and email are required. Everything else helps me prepare, and anything you would rather talk through can wait for the call.

Outside Middle Tennessee? Say so here. Sessions further out happen when we can agree on somewhere to meet.

Temperament, quirks, energy level. Anything that helps me prepare.

Prefer email? Write to info@thedogform.com and tell me about your dog there. It reaches the same inbox as this form, and it is the surest way through if the form ever fails.

After You Send It

What happens next.

I read every request myself. There is no assistant and no queue.

You will hear back from me personally. Not an auto-reply and not a price list, but a note with a few questions and a time to talk. Nothing is booked at this stage. No deposit, no calendar hold, no obligation.

If a reply never arrives, assume the message did not reach me rather than that it was ignored. Email info@thedogform.com and I will find it.

The Consultation

A conversation, not a sales call.

We talk before anyone photographs anything.

We start with your dog. Age, temperament, how they handle new people and unfamiliar rooms, what they love and what they will not tolerate. Then we talk about where the session should happen and what you want to end up with on the wall, because the artwork shapes how the session is photographed.

By the end you will know what the experience involves and what it costs, and I will know whether I am the right photographer for your dog. Either answer is a good outcome. Nobody has to decide anything on the call.

If you would rather see the numbers before we talk, the pricing page lists the session fee and what finished artwork costs.

Before We Talk

What helps me most to know.

None of this is required on the form. It is simply what I end up asking.

  • How your dog handles strangers, and whether that changes on leash.
  • Anything about their health or mobility that should set the pace.
  • Where they are most themselves: your living room, a field, the truck bed.
  • Whether time matters. Senior dogs and dogs with a diagnosis are scheduled first.
  • The wall you have in mind, if you already have one in mind.
No Rush
