Why I Focus on Fine Art Prints
Over nineteen years of photographing pets throughout Tucson, I've learned that digital files typically stay on devices while fine art prints become cherished family artwork. My approach emphasizes creating museum-quality archival pieces you'll display proudly and treasure long after your pets have passed.
Every print uses archival pigment inks and museum-grade papers guaranteed to last over 100 years without fading. This isn't just photography — it's creating lasting art that celebrates the bond between you and your beloved companions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my print credit for digital files? Yes — digital file collections are available for $350 and include 5-8 high-resolution images with print release for personal use. However, they're only available as an add-on to print packages, ensuring you create at least some tangible artwork from your session.
Do you photograph pets other than dogs and cats? Absolutely. I've created beautiful portraits of rabbits, ferrets, birds, lizards, and other cherished pets. My mobile studio setup accommodates pets of various sizes and temperaments.
Where do sessions take place? I bring my professional studio equipment to your home or chosen location. This mobile approach eliminates travel stress for your pets and allows them to remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while I create studio-quality lighting and controlled backgrounds.
How long until I see my images? I deliver your curated gallery within 2-3 weeks after your session. This allows time for careful artistic processing of each image to ensure museum-quality results.
Can I purchase additional prints later? Yes — all print pricing remains available after your initial session. Many clients return periodically to order additional sizes or formats as their display preferences evolve.
