The Experience

Posted by okkat on

This process is VERY hands on. This will not be photo shoot, online gallery, choose, download, done.

We’re going to work together every step of the way to ensure you get fantabulous portraits of your pet that you LOVE!

But let’s be real, who actually needs a pet photographer?

  • You have a black-furred pet and have trouble seeing details of them in pictures.
  • You want adorable portraits of your pets, but don’t have the technical camera skills.
  • There are A MILLION pictures of your pet on your phone, and none on your walls.
  • You are concerned about taking your pet off leash in public for pictures.
  • Your high energy pet doesn’t sit still for pictures.

If you agreed with any of these statements, OKKat Photography is the pet photographer for you! OKKat Photography works with you to design a custom portrait session for your pet(s) with your input, unique style, and home decor in mind. 

Your pets are the beating heart of my business. Because I’m a pet photographer first and foremost, I not only know the tricks and tips to create incredible images with four-legged subjects, but I’ll also love and adore your precious animals–it’s just who I am.

I create art. Sure, digital files are available and many clients choose to add them on to their order. But at OKKat Photography, the primary focus is creating tangible beautiful artwork that will bring you joy for years to come.

Count on quality. Whether your artwork is handcrafted in Germany or framed using authentically weathered Vermont barnwood, rest assured that it comes from the best artisans in the business. If you’re used to photo prints from Walmart and CVS, you’re in for a revelation!

The Process

Step 1
Schedule your no obligation Meet & Greet appointment here! Bring your pet! They check out the studio while we visit about your pet photography needs and if OKKat Photography is the right pet photographer for you. We discuss things like the colors in your home, where you might hang your portraits, and what unique features of your pet you most want to see in portraits. We’ll even test them with the flash and shutter so if reactivity is an issue, we can schedule an outdoor location session.

Step 3
The Session. This is where the magic happens! Leave all worries and expectations at the door and just enjoy the experience. Your pets only job is to be themselves! You may think they’re too hyper and excitable, but this is perfectly normal! Chaos, fun, and treats at every click! It’s very likely your pet will pass out in the car on the way home, LOL!

Step 4
The Ordering Appointment is when you see your much-anticipated images! Choose your favorites, and we’ll go through your options together to decide how you’ll most enjoy your images, often through a combination of wall art, albums and digital files.

Step 5
Elation! Choose pickup from the studio or delivery to your home. Ask about installation. You can’t stop smiling as you enjoy your gorgeous new artwork!
