The Artwork

Absolutely! Some of the most fun and fetching shots happen when dogs are just being dogs. As for leashes, many dogs I photograph are leashed for safety, and I provide complimentary leash removal during post-processing.

Well, Photoshop does have its limitations. Super-bulky harnesses hide so much of the dog's chest that it's very challenging to accurately rebuild those pixels in post-production. Gentle leaders can leave unsightly shadows or pull on the dog's skin, so those are challenges to digitally remove as well. Because of that, harnesses, head halters/gentle leaders, etc. will not be removed and are best avoided if you don't like the look of them in your final images. If your dog normally wears one of these for walks, I recommend using it while walking to our location, but also bringing a flat collar to use for the actual session.

Standard outdoor & studio sessions start at $250 (& $300 for evenings & weekends).

If you have no idea which one you prefer or would be best, no worries! You may choose from a diverse outdoor location & studio list that ranges from quiet and serene parks to stunning skylines.

I'm happy to offer suggestions based on the health, personality and likes or dislikes of your pet. If you would like to choose your own location that is sentimental and a place you like to go with your pup, you can absolutely upgrade.

Please note that selecting in-home only (without another location) are for terminal pets only. If your dog is a highly reactive (no judgment, my pup has big feelings too), our private studio option or a few of the quieter parks on my list would work best.

Drawing on my experience and patience to work with a variety of behaviors and temperaments, from rambunctious to reactive, I take a no-pressure, relaxed approach to our time together. Your session never requires your dog to sit, stay, and behave for hours (or even minutes) on end. One of the benefits of hiring a pet-specific photographer is that we know how to work with "hyper" models and still deliver gorgeous portraits jam-packed with personality. Your dog is not the only one who has some tricks up his sleeve!

Absolutely! I’ve heard countless times from my clients that having these images of their loyal companions is a tremendous comfort as they grieve and helped through that transition. Legacy Sessions are reserved specifically for aged or ailing pets, and due to their nature, they are given scheduling priority whenever possible. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you think your session is urgently needed.

At Kimberly Kingen Photography, my average client investment ranges from $1500 to $3,000; however, I offer options to accommodate a range of budgets. On the lower end, some spend around $500, choosing a small gift prints or desktop displays that they can frame on their own for their desks or

bookshelves. At the upper end of the scale, others want it all and invest several thousand on stunning albums, wall art and/or heirloom folio boxes, and an array of boutique add-ons to keep on your work desk or gift to the grandparents.

Kimberly Kingen Photography clients highly value tangible products; however, to provide the best of both worlds, each ordered product includes the matching watermarked social media file of that product's image(s). Matching high-resolution files of ordered product images are complimentary with product purchases totaling $995 or more. Digital collections (with a print credit included) are also available starting at $1000. Individual digital portraits ($250) can also be purchased after a $250 print order.

Absolutely. We can discuss setting up a customized, no-interest payment plan for you.

For more than two pets from the same household, a fee of $50 per subject/pet applies.

Roughly three to four weeks following your session, we'll meet again for your virtual ordering appointment. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing your face as you view the photos of your pet for the first time! During this appointment, we'll choose your absolute favorites, talk about how you wish to feature them in your home and finalize your must-have artwork. You will also place your order at this time. At your ordering appointment, I require payment in full for your order.

My sessions focus on creating beautiful, heirloom-quality custom artwork of your pet in a variety of finishes and styles to suit your home. Wall art pieces, like modern float frame fine art prints are client favorites, and many love adding their remaining portraits to a fine art album, an heirloom folio box, or as boutique add-ons. Do you believe in a go big or go home approach? If so, my popular signature collections offer both variety and value.
