❄️ I hope everyone has stayed safe during this ice storm! My girl loved every second of running around outside trying to eat all of the ice off the ground 😂

Hopefully this winter weather will pass soon and lead to some great portrait sessions! So ready for green again! 🌳

Delivering the final prints from a gallery is the best part of this job. Getting to see everything finalized and helping the client choose a frame is so fun and rewarding. Prints are something new that I'm offering for 2026 and now they will come with all session packages. If you were a client from last year and want prints, message me and we will get it sorted!

Read below to find out more details ⬇️

⚪️ What print options are available through Upstate Pet Portraits? I have the ability to print as small as wallet size (2x3) all the way up to 8.5x11 which is standard paper size. I typically do prints as 4x6 or 8.5x11 on a glossy photo paper. If you want a different size or type of paper such as a matte or lustre, just ask! We can get everything sorted for you!

⚪️ Right now I do not offer frames with the prints, but I will bring several different kinds of frames with me when I deliver the prints so you can get an idea of what you will be looking for when you shop for a frame. I hope to offer this in the future once I have a good number of frames! l

⚪️ What if I don't want a regular paper print, and instead prefer metal, canvas, or something else? This is not something I can offer directly, but you will get all of the final images delivered in an online gallery. From there you can download the images and even purchase different kinds of prints directly from the gallery site. You also have the option of downloading the images and uploading them to your preferred print website.

⚪️ What if I want more prints than my package offers? After I deliver the final online gallery, if you have multiple favorites that you want on the wall, just let me know! Additional prints can be added to your invoice and will be delivered at the print viewing.

✉️ If this sounds like something you are interested in, let's chat! Shoot me a message or use the contact page on my website and we can discuss your ideal pet portrait session. I am now booking for February, March, April, and May.

🌷 We're doing our best to spring into spring over here!

❄️ We've been having a cold spell come through the upstate, and I'm so ready for the warmer weather, but my girl, Echo, is loving this cold weather. I had fun playing around with her a few days ago to get these images as some moving practice, and boy did she deliver!

🐕 Every dog that I photograph needs to be approached differently, so let's dive into how I would get portraits of a high energy dog.

🌳 If we are in a public location, its always best to let the dog walk around for a couple minutes and get used to the situation. We may even want to do a short play session before we get started to burn some of that energy and get the focus away from distractions in the environment. I usually have someone helping me to hold either a treat, a toy, or making noise behind me to get the dog looking in the direction I want, ideally something that will get their attention, but not make them overexcited.

☀️ A solid "sit" or "down" or "stay" command is always helpful, but absolutely not necessary to get beautiful portraits of your pet. For still portraits, a stay is useful to let me work around them, but it's important to break moments of stillness up with some play. Placing the dog in a stay and cueing them to run toward me produces images like the ones in this post and is a great way to break up the still portraits into smaller bits that are easier for an energetic brain to handle. Once it warms up I plan to get more action shots in the water as well!

✉️ If this sounds like something you'd be interested in for you and your energetic pup, send me a message and let's chat! I offer payment plans to break up the cost into smaller chunks. More details and pricing are on my website!

😍 Just a few of my favorites from 2025. It absolutely doesn't include all of them, there aren't nearly enough slides for that!

🌷 With the start of the new year, I have begun spring semester at college, so my spring availability will be very limited through April! We have quite the cold spell happening here in the upstate, but warmer weather should be on the way soon, so don't miss out on spring photos with your fur babies.

🖼 And did you hear that I'm now offering prints directly from me? No hassle with ordering from a print lab. Local clients will get the added benefit of their prints hand delivered by me, with some help choosing the right frames for you! All 2026 packages come with 4x6 and 8.5x11 prints. Wallet size photos (2x3) can be added in at clients request.

Now that it's January, spring is right around the corner for us here in SC! Who's ready for all the green to come back 🙋‍♀️

🌷 There is still plenty of green left in downtown Greenville to get us through until late February. If you're make memories of the adoption of a new puppy or kitten, just started a new lease on a horse, want to celebrate a super senior, or just wanna get the whole pet family together for some portraits to hang on the wall, let's chat!

📸 I will walk you through A to Z, starting with a phone consult to figure out what you're looking for, and where you want the session to happen. I can come to your house, give some good location recommendations, or if you already have a spot picked out that's great!

🖼 All of my packages now come with prints included that I will personally print out and hand deliver to you, along with some test frames that we can play around with and see what you like the best! Photos will go home with you unframed so you can pick out the exact one you want.

✉️ Now is the time to start planning for spring photos, so if you have any questions or are interested in booking, send me a message and I'll be glad to help!

Wrapping up 2025 and I am so happy to announce that all of my 2026 session packages will include prints! Packages will have a set number of prints included but they can be purchased separately as well. If you had a session with me in 2025 and would like some prints, let me know and we can get it done!

I am so incredibly grateful for all the pets and families that I was able to capture this year and cannot wait to see what the new year holds! I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

Working through my last few sessions this year and I still can't believe what a good turnout I had!

📆 I'm excited to kick things in to the next gear for 2026 and I'm doing lots of work behind the scenes.

🖼 I've been updating my website, I will be working on portrait session prep guides to help you and your pets get ready for the camera, and the biggest news- I will be offering prints! For my local clients I will be able to meet up and deliver prints directly to you, or prints can be shipped.

If you have already done a session with me this year and would like some prints, let me know and I will add them onto your session for free! For my 2026 sessions, prints will be part of the session packages, and more prints can be ordered at your request!

I am currently taking on new clients through February. If you've ever thought about getting quality portraits on your pets done, message me or use the booking page on my website!

I recently had the privilege of doing holiday photos for this fun trio!

If you've ever been nervous about getting portraits done with your pets due to their anxiety or craziness, I have you covered! We will go at the pace that best suits your pet and I am not above a quick fetch or tug session if it means your pet will be more comfortable with me. Treats and toys are always welcome during a session and for those anxious pets, I can get close up shots of you and your baby without crowding.

I only have one spot open before Christmas, so if you've been considering getting some holiday portrsits done, this is your sign! I have several package options to choose from and offer affordable payment plans.

This was such a fun and challenging session to deliver! The water shots were very different from what I've done before and I have ideas on how to do them much better next time. I am very proud of how these turned out to say the least 😌 This quick session turned into taking a couple shots and then letting this working dog get his zoomies out in the water! And of course he had to roll around in the dirt afterwards!

🐕 With high energy or nervous dogs and especially with cats, we have to work at their pace not ours! How the session goes for the animal is more important than the photos themselves and any stress will absolutely show up in the final images! You can tell this big guy was 💯 in his element during our session.

📸 All of my session packages have a time window to them but I always allot wiggle room for any delays, including pet anxiety or hyperactivity. I will never say no to a quick play session, or giving the pet a short break when they need it. My favorite lens to use is a 135mm which allows me to get close up shots of you and your pets without being completely in your face, which definitely brings some of the excitement of the session down for your baby!

📆 Limited spots available before Christmas! If you are thinking about getting some holiday portraits of you and your pets don't hesitate! I am also currently booking into January and February. And did I mention I offer payment plans? After inquiring about a session we will discuss what you are looking for, what package is right for you, potential dates and payment plans if needed! All sessions require a deposit, but payment plans can be implemented leading up to the session date.
