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 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.
