At Happy Paws Studio, we specialise in capturing unforgettable pet portraits and work closely with dogs and their loving owners from all walks of life. We love getting to know our clients and their furry friends, and over the years, we’ve received many frequently asked questions about our dog photography sessions.
What is Pet Photography?
Pet photography is a specialised art that focuses on professionally capturing your pet’s personality, charm, and unique quirks. Whether it’s in our fully equipped dog photography studio in Brisbane or another environment, our goal is to create stunning visual memories that last a lifetime.
At Happy Paws, we specialise in dog portrait photography, delivering high-quality images that reflect the heart and soul of your furry companion.
Why Should I Invest in a Puppy Portrait?
A puppy portrait is a timeless way to preserve your pet’s early days before they grow up. These professional portraits become cherished keepsakes and home decor, filled with emotional value.
Here’s what you can expect when you invest in a custom dog portrait:
- High-Quality Artwork: Our professional photographers know how to capture personality, not just appearance.
- Tangible Memories: These images last a lifetime, reminding you of precious puppy moments.
- Artistic Expression: Every portrait is crafted as a personalised piece of wall art.
- Unique Gift Idea: Great for friends and family who love dogs just as much as you do.
- Home Decor: Add warmth and personality to your living space with framed pet portraits.
What is the Puppy Portrait Process?
Your pet photography experience starts with a phone consultation to learn about your dog’s personality and your vision for the shoot.
During your session at our Brisbane studio, we’ll help your pet feel relaxed and comfortable, giving them space to play with toys and settle into the environment. Then, we’ll guide them through a variety of setups to capture their best angles.
After the photoshoot, we’ll invite you to our cinema room to view the final images and select your favourite artwork.
How Long Will the Dog Photoshoot Take?
The average dog photoshoot lasts 2 to 3 hours. This includes time for your dog to acclimate to the studio, the photography session itself, and a 15-minute break before viewing your portraits.
Can I Bring More Than One Dog?
Yes – we welcome multiple pets, but our standard session allows for a maximum of two dogs from the same household.
Want to bring more? Contact us beforehand to confirm availability. We’ll do our best to accommodate your full furry family. Additional pet fees may apply. Family members are welcome to join in the photos, too!
How Long Until I Receive My Pet Portraits?
Your custom artwork will be ready for collection, delivery, or shipping within 4 to 6 weeks of placing your order. Please inspect your order upon receipt. Note that handling and installation are the client’s responsibility.
Can I Give a Dog Photoshoot as a Gift?
Absolutely! Our gift vouchers make the perfect present for dog lovers. Each voucher includes:
- A studio session for up to two pets from the same household
- $100 credit toward prints, products, or digital files
