Our Dog Gone Art sessions are contained within the boundaries of the YYC. We can meet you on your favorite walk, at your favorite park, at your home, or any other location that holds a special place in your heart.

If you are located outside YYC, we are more than happy to travel. Travel costs are calculated at $0.75/KM.

Whether you are interested in a session within the YYC or beyond, please include your preferred location in your initial inquiry and we will add any travel related expenses to your quote.

If you are undecided on a location, we can offer recommendations.

Our Dog Gone Art Session typically run 60-90 minutes however, it's possible for a session to run longer in order to make sure we get what we need. A session could run long for a number of reasons, for example the number of models or a change in weather.

Start thinking about how and where you would like to display your new artwork.  Once your booking is confirmed, we will send you a Pre-Shoot Preparation Guide outlining the steps you can take to ensure the best possible experience for you and your dog. 

Your dog can stay on-leash for the entirety of the session.  It is easier to direct most dogs when they are on-leash, and many of the dogs featured in our portfolio were on-leash during their session. Removing the leash is part of the editing process; click here to see my before-and-afters.

Yes, that is absolutely okay!  We will do everything we can to ensure that your dog is comfortable with us and with the camera before a single photo is taken.  We are dedicated to creating a comfortable environment for your dog, whether it takes fifteen minutes or two hours.  Whatever it takes, we will be there through it all.

We believe that every dog should have their special day in front of the camera and we will create a structure that works for your dog’s unique personality and needs. 

Yes!  We provide 100% natural dehydrated treats.

The final products are handcrafted in Italy within a time frame of four to six weeks.  Trust us… they will be worth the wait!

Absolutely!  Our sessions focus primarily on the dogs, but we also love to capture the bond between a dog and its human.  If you would like to be photographed alongside your dog, please choose neutral, simple clothing that will keep the focus on you and your dog.

Many of our sessions take place outdoors, which can leave us at the mercy of the changing conditions.  Every season and weather condition can bring unique lighting, environments and diffusion.  If you have booked an outdoor shoot and the forecast shows rain for your session date, we are happy to reschedule or relocate.  If there is no sign of rain, we will continue with the session as planned.  We ask for your patience and understanding if our session must be postponed due to poor weather.

Dog Gone Art exclusively photographs dogs.

You are welcome to include as many dogs as you would like in your session.  Please be sure to inform us in advance if you are interested in bringing more than one dog.  There may be additional charges for bringing more than two dogs from the same household.

We understand that circumstances may arise that are beyond your control; whatever the situation may be, we appreciate as much notice as possible in order to reschedule your session.  If your session is rescheduled more than once, you may be subject to an additional fee of $50. This does not include us rescheduling for weather.

We sure do!  Vouchers are a great gift for family, friends, and loved ones.  Click here to order.

Absolutely!  With some guidance, you may help with posing your dog or getting their attention as they are being photographed.
