  • Most sessions last around 1 to 1.5 hours, but the timing depends on your dog’s energy and personality. We take our time to ensure that we capture the best moments while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable for your pet.

  • Bring anything that makes your dog feel comfortable and happy! Whether it’s a favourite toy, treat, or accessory, we want your dog to feel relaxed and engaged during the session. If you have any special items you’d like to include in the portrait, such as a collar or bandana, feel free to bring them along. The goal is to capture your dog in a way that feels authentic and that will translate beautifully into custom wall art for your home.

  • No problem! I have worked with dogs of all temperaments and take a patient, gentle approach. The session is designed to be low-pressure, so we can capture your dog in a way that feels natural and relaxed. Whether your dog is shy or energetic, we’ll ensure that the portraits we create are a true reflection of their personality and can be beautifully turned into custom wall art. If you or your dog need a break we always make sure it happens

  • We love this! At Fur & Fable, we understand that your bond with your dog is special, and we love capturing that connection. Whether it’s you, your partner, or your entire family, we’re happy to include you in the photos. Having your dog’s portrait with you in the shot makes the experience even more meaningful, and it results in a stunning, personal piece of custom wall art that tells your unique story.

    If you’d like to be part of the portrait session, just let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly and ensure the session flows smoothly. We’ll guide you through every step of the shoot, ensuring that both you and your dog look your best.

  • No, your dog doesn’t need to be a pro at commands to have a great photoshoot! However, knowing a few basics like sit, wait, or stay can make the session smoother and help us capture those perfect moments. You don’t need to worry about perfection—I work quickly, and your dog only needs to hold the position for a second.

    If your dog doesn’t know any commands, that’s completely fine too! But if you’d like, this is a great time to work on some basics before the session. Simple commands or attention tricks can help, but the focus will always be on capturing your dog’s true personality.

  • Not at all! It’s completely fine to keep your dog on leash during the session, especially if they’re not fully reliable off-leash. In fact, for everyone’s safety—including your dog, other dogs, and my expensive equipment—I ask that dogs remain on-leash at all times during the photoshoot.

    The great news is that I can easily edit out leashes, collars, and even owners in post-production, so it won’t affect the final images. This way, we can still capture your dog’s natural beauty and personality while keeping them safe and secure.

  • For the health and safety of your puppy and other dogs, I prefer that puppies have at least had their first vaccination before coming to the studio. This helps ensure they’re protected against common canine illnesses while in a public space.

    While I thoroughly clean the studio between each dog to maintain a safe environment, it is important to note that it is not a completely sterile setting. Ultimately, the decision to bring a puppy that is still in the vaccination process is up to you as the owner.

    If you have concerns, feel free to reach out and we can discuss your puppy’s specific situation. I'm always happy to find a solution that works best for your family and your pup!

  • We completely understand that investing in custom wall art is a big decision.

  • Absolutely not! At Fur & Fable, our primary goal is to create timeless, custom portraits that truly reflect your dog’s personality and your home’s aesthetic. We understand that each client has a different budget and unique preferences, which is why our process is always consultative and transparent. There is no high-pressure sales pitch—just an honest, supportive conversation about what will work best for you.
