We're the people behind the camera

We'll guide you through the entire process

Hello! We are Stevie and Kaitlyn! With our two rescued dogs, we recently moved from Florida to the lovely city of Greenville. We are here to listen to your needs and help you create memories.
We will provide step-by-step instructions to assist them feel at ease and look their best during a photo session. The ideal posture, facial expressions, and eye placement will be discussed, along with the intended mood or style. The majority of the work will be done by us, including giving you quick instructions.

Get ahead of the game...

look down below!

1).

PLAN YOUR OUTFITS


  • Choose clothing that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
  • Stick to neutral tones or complementary colors—avoid logos, loud patterns, or overly bright neon.
  • Coordinate (don’t match) outfits for group sessions.
  • Bring an extra outfit just in case, especially for longer sessions or unpredictable weather.



2).

GROOMING AND SELF CARE


  • Get haircuts or grooming done a few days before (not the day of).
  • Keep makeup natural unless a specific look is discussed with the photographer.
  • Iron clothes in advance to avoid wrinkles.
  • Make sure nails are clean and trimmed (they show in close-ups!).





3).

REST AND HYDRATION


  • Get a good night’s sleep before the session.
  • Drink plenty of water leading up to the day—hydrated skin looks great on camera.




4).

COMMUNICATE YOUR VISION


  • Share any ideas, themes, or inspirations with your photographer ahead of time.
  • Send reference photos or a Pinterest board if you have one.
  • Let the photographer know about any insecurities or features you want highlighted or minimized.




5).

PACK ESSENTIALS


  • Water and light snacks (especially for kids or longer sessions).
  • Touch-up makeup or hair products.
  • Comfy shoes to change into between shots.
  • Any props or accessories discussed (hats, blankets, instruments, etc.).



6).

ARRIVE EARLY


  • Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in and avoid feeling rushed.
  • Double-check the session location and parking ahead of time.



7).

PREPARE THE KIDS AND DOGS



  • Talk to your children (and partner!) about what to expect.
  • Practice basic commands with your dog—“sit,” “stay,” and “look” are especially helpful.
  • Don’t expect perfection. Authentic, candid moments are often the most cherished.
  • Be patient—photoshoots can be overwhelming for pets and kids alike.



8).

TRUST THE PROCESS


  • Your photographer will guide you with poses and timing.
  • Stay relaxed—dogs respond better to calm energy.
  • If your dog needs a break or some sniff time, that’s okay! We’ll work around it.

Laugh, snuggle, and let your real bond shine—it makes for the best photos.



9).

BONUS DOG SESSION TIPS


  • Groom your dog the day before: trim nails, brush fur, and clean eyes.
  • Avoid feeding a full meal right before; instead, use small treats to keep them motivated.

Let your dog explore the shoot location when you arrive so they can settle in.
