NEW Dog Portrait Sessions

February 28, 2025 by Tailwagger Dog Photographers

Tailwagger Dog Photography has new dog portrait sessions that include more digital files (more can be purchased after you receive your gallery). We now have three session options – the Mini Session, the Classic Session and the Ultimate Session. 

Going forward you can get any type of image for whichever session you book (this was not the case in the past) – even the Mini Session. Types of images include: dog portraits, headshots, action shots, dog group portraits and family portraits.

You decide how you want to spend your session time by filling out a priority shot list before your session. For example, recently a client wanted primarily action shots of her dog, but she also wanted a few family portraits to choose from. So, we spent most of the session on action shots, but did a handful of portraits with her and her pup at the end of the session.

Flower crowns are still an option for every dog portrait session and all three session options are available for Puppy’s First Year packages. Sessions include an online gallery to make your choices. The new session deets may be found below – for more details check out our Sessions – Pricing page. 

  • Mini Session:  1-2 dogs, 3 digital photos, 1 location, 30 minutes – $249
  • Classic Session:  1-3 dogs, 10 digital photos, 1 location, 60 minutes – $499
  • Ultimate Session:  1-4 dogs, 20 digital photos, 1 location, 90 minutes – $799

If you don’t know where you want to have your session, we are happy to make a suggestion – as well as show you some sample photos taken at our suggested location. Also, having the session in your own yard is an option and might be the best choice if you have a sick dog or a dog that is just more comfortable sticking around his home. For more information on our favorite locations and FAQs, check out our Locations & FAQs page.

Last, but definitely not least – your dog never has to be off his or her leash during one of our sessions (even for action shots). We will remove the leash and the person holding the leash during editing. On a side note, we will not edit out your pup’s harness simply because it is impossible to replicate your dog’s fur pattern and or coloring pattern (even with the help of AI). If your dog normally wears a harness, please bring a regular neck collar for the photographs.
