the scruffy sessions ~ structure and fees

 

At scruffy dog,  I offer unique sessions to answer

my clients’ individual needs.

 

Working with private and commercial clients globally, and shooting exclusively pets for more than 15 years, I have developed the scruffy sessions to deliver to my clients what they want most — memorable and cherished images of their 4-legger turned into incomparable artwork. Because each session is designed with final artwork in mind, I always ask you to choose your session based on the ultimate prints and products you are after.

.

I also offer my Honor Session® , intended for seniors and pets in  failing health.  See details below.

THE VERY POPULAR SCRUFFY SESSIONS

.

The PORTRAIT Session … Over the years I occasionally receive a phone call from a client who claims they are after just one or two great pictures. Obviously — having lost numerous dogs myself and feeling as though I never have enough photos to remember them by — I far prefer to approach every session with the intent to capture as great a variety as possible.  However, if you find yourself being that client who is truly after only “one or two great pictures”, or maybe you’re a repeat client looking to add to your pet’s portfolio, then the PORTRAIT session was designed for you.  This session produced a handful of stellar images from a single, well-chosen ‘set’, idea for a stunning wall piece or a creative storyboard.

$300 includes:
– one pet ($100 for each additional pet from the same household)
– one setting in Waterloo Region
– pre-session consult
– toys and nutritional treats
– 10+ highly-finished proofs in your private on-line gallery
– home-media and social-media images gifted of every print/product ordered

PORTRAIT clients order from two exciting and jam-packed collections, or from the a la carte price list of SDP‘s premium-quality prints and products, and typically invest $525-1200+ in their custom artwork.

The ARTWORK Session … The most popular of the scruffy dog sessions, the ARTWORK is designed for the client whose goal is a stellar wall piece (or two or three), a good variety of prints or a custom-designed storyboard, and more.  If you are after a strong gallery of unique images capturing a variety of your 4-legger’s character and joy, then the ARTWORK session was designed with you in mind.

$400 includes:
– one pet ($100 for each additional pet from the same household)
– one location with several ‘settings’ in Waterloo Region
– pre-session consult
– toys and nutritional treats
– 25+ highly-finished proofs in your private on-line gallery

The ARTWORK “Booster” – $75 … the optional add-on for those wanting a second location such as an urban setting or your home (in Waterloo region) or simply more variety in a natural setting.  The Booster also the number of your final proofs.

ARTWORK clients order from three exciting and jam-packed collections, or from the a la carte price list of SDP‘s premium-quality prints and products, and typically invest $675-2000+ in their artwork.

The ALBUM Session … As the title suggests, the ALBUM Session if for the dog guardian who truly wants everything for their dog … one of scruffy dog’s custom-designed, premium Best-in-Show albums, along with stunning wall art, and a variety of prints, digital and more.  With album and fine-art products in mind, the ALBUM Session will provide you with an absolutely stunning range of unique and captivating visual memories of your 4-legger with variety in locations, activities, and all aspects of your 4-legger’s character and uniqueness.

$500 includes:

I follow your 4-legger across the seasons of one year, resulting in a truly spectacular portfolio of variety, capturing every aspect of your pet, intended for a truly stellar, one-of-a-kind, premium Best-in-Show album with bite!  This session is traditionally used by the scruffy dog client who simply must have it all.  Huge variety in not just locations but also seasons, the Seasons has quickly become the most popular choice for the serious scruffy dog client.

The Honor Session® – $400-500 – is intended for seniors and cases of dogs in failing health. Because of my own loss — my first scruffy at far too young of an age with almost no photos of him — scruffy dog always gives these cases priority within the shooting schedule.  Although I work hard to accommodate every Honor Session request, please understand that it is not always possible during the extremely heavy shooting months of fall and spring.  If I am unable to fit you in, I work hard to pair you up with another photographer in your area who can answer your needs.  If, however, you are already on the scruffy dog roster with a session on the books, your Honor Session® will be fit in, no matter what.  This is the promise made to you as a member of the scruffy dog family.

In the case of an Honor Session®, clients choose either an ARTWORK or ALBUM session  based on the ultimate prints/products they are after. What the “Honor” designation means is that we do whatever we can to give your session priority, and I will take whatever time is needed to capture the images that honor your dog’s life and his/her bond with you.
