Do you edit out leashes and harnesses in my dog’s photos?
I provide basic leash editing in my photos to ensure your dog looks their best while maintaining safety during the session. However, I do not edit out harnesses, as this can impact the dog’s coat and the overall quality of the image. To keep your photos looking clean and cohesive, I recommend bringing your dog in neutral collar and leash sets, such as white, cream, or black.
This will help create a timeless look in the final images while ensuring that any remaining elements blend seamlessly into the photo. If you have any questions about what works best, feel free to ask during the planning process!
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our session?
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can reschedule your session for the next available date. I’ll keep in touch leading up to your session to ensure the conditions are perfect for capturing beautiful photos.
