Pricing

What a portrait costs, stated plainly.

Sessions are $195. Most families invest $450 to $1,200 in finished artwork.

How It Works

Two parts, in order.

The session fee covers the making of the portraits. The artwork is chosen and purchased afterward, in person, once the images exist and we can see them at size.

Nothing is bundled in advance and nothing is guessed. You commit to the session, then you commit to the pieces you actually want. The experience page walks through all five steps, from the first conversation to delivery.

The Session Fee

$195, fully redeemable toward artwork.

Because it is redeemable, a family who orders artwork effectively pays nothing for the session itself.

The session fee includes:

  • A pre-session consultation, to plan the session around your dog and the wall you have in mind.
  • A 90-minute session, in the studio or on location.
  • Retouching of the images you select.
  • An in-person viewing appointment, where the artwork is designed and ordered.

It is due to hold the date. Whatever you spend on artwork, the $195 comes off the total.

Memorial and End-of-Life Sessions

$95.

Sessions for dogs with a terminal diagnosis, and sessions made through The Legacy Project, carry a session fee of $95. The studio charges less for this work because of what it is.

Everything else is unchanged: the same care in the session, the same craft in the finished piece, the same artwork prices. If this is your situation, say so when you write. That is all that is required.

Collections

What a session becomes.

Finished artwork is purchased at the viewing. Most families invest $450 to $1,200. Each collection includes the digital files for the images it contains.

$450

The Portrait

One 11x14 framed piece, plus that image as a digital file. A single portrait, chosen well.

$950

The Wall

A three-piece 11x14 framed set, or one 20x24 statement piece, plus those digitals. Built for a room rather than a shelf.

$1,850

The Legacy

A 15-spread heirloom album, a 20x24 framed piece, and the full digital gallery. The whole session, kept.

The reasoning behind the printing, matting, and framing is on the artwork page. To see every piece laid out one at a time, browse the shop.

Individual Pieces

Priced on their own.

Not every family wants a collection. Pieces can be ordered singly at the viewing.

  • 8x10 framed: $195
  • 11x14 framed: $325
  • 16x20 framed: $495
  • 20x24 statement piece: $650
  • 24x36 statement piece: $850
  • Heirloom album, 15 spreads: $795
  • Single digital file: $95
  • Full digital gallery: $995

If you are working back from a particular wall rather than an album, the wall art page covers how a piece gets scaled to the room it is going in.

Questions

What families ask about money.

Answered here so nothing about the process is a surprise.

It covers the making of the portraits: a pre-session consultation, a 90-minute session in the studio or on location, retouching of the images you select, and an in-person viewing appointment. It is fully redeemable toward artwork, so a family who orders artwork effectively pays nothing for the session.

Because the work is made for the wall, not for a folder. Prints, framing, and albums are the point of the portraits, and they are priced as what they are. Digital files are available on their own or inside a collection, and every collection includes the digitals for the images it contains.

You see the finished portraits presented at full size, and we design the artwork together: which images earn a place, how large they should be, and where they will hang. Orders are placed at that appointment.

Every selected image is retouched by hand before you see it, so the viewing is scheduled once that work is done rather than on a fixed conveyor belt. We set the date together, and you will know it well before it arrives.

The studio is in Burns and works throughout the Nashville area and Middle Tennessee. Sessions further out are considered one at a time. Write to me with where you are and we will talk about what it would take.

Yes. Sessions for dogs with a terminal diagnosis, and sessions made through The Legacy Project, carry a session fee of $95. Artwork is priced the same as any other session.
