for you and that one special dog.

(or cat, or horse… or even your whole pack).

You wish that your furbaby could stay in that wiggly, squishy, puppy stage forever…

or maybe your elderly pup is slowing down and you need the perfect way to remember all the treasured years you have spent together.

No matter your circumstances, if you’re here, you know what it means to love an animal with your whole heart.

At Sweet Camellia Photography, our dream is to provide you a sense of connection, awe, and purpose - in the form of artwork of your beloved pet. Because being your pet’s person should mean holding them in your heart (and your home) - always.

Celebrate just “them”…

Our sessions are for new puppies, old puppies, and all the pets in between. You and your pet will be guided through a joy-filled photography session tailored to their needs, to bring out your best selves. Your four-legged friend doesn’t need to be off-leash or trick-trained to have an amazing session…

We have all the tools to create the perfect portrait, no matter the situation.

and…

the love you share, together.

In addition to photographing your pet on their own, we will ensure you have a collection of irreplaceable portraits together. Your relationship with your pet is at the core of our work here at Sweet Camellia Photography - behind every deeply loved pet is their beloved person (you).

And that deserves to be celebrated.

Your Photography Experience

1. Inquiry & Initial Chat

To take the exciting leap and book your pet’s session, the first step you should take is to reach out through our contact page here. You can expect a phone call from us to chat more about yourself, your pet, and your vision, and to give you our recommendation for the services and products that will best suit your needs. At that time, we’ll get your session on the books with your session fee, and get to work on creating something special for you and your furbaby.
2. Your Style and Concept Consultation

In the weeks leading up to your session, we’ll meet to plan out your session wardrobe, get your pets feeling cozy with their photographer, and discuss your image goals to create the best portrait experience possible. We’ll talk lots about your furbaby, your bond, and what’s most important to you in enjoying your memories and images together.
3. Your Session Day!

This is where the fun starts! On your session day, we will meet at the perfect location of your choice. We will work at your pet’s pace until we have captured the emotions, moments, and meaningful details most integral to your bond. Your session will usually last between one to two hours depending on your pet and the setting. At the end of this day together, you and your best friend will get to go home and relax while we get to work on your proof images.
4. Your Ordering Appointment

This is your day to view and purchase your favorite images and artwork from your session. From a custom photo album to commemorate a special day together, to wall portraits as grand as your love, and more… this appointment is your opportunity to see and choose everything that you love from your furbaby’s portraits.
I will be with you through the entire appointment to help assist you in the selection process - guiding you through your product and design requests, giving recommendations, and answering your questions.
5. Artwork Delivery

After you select and purchase all the images your home and heart desire, all that’s left is to wait for your special delivery. We will design, order, and hand-deliver your finished products to your home, as well as send you the matching digital files to the artwork you have purchased.
When this big day arrives, you’ll get to relive the best moments and details of your session all over again - this time with your portraits in-hand for you to enjoy in the years to come.

Your Story, Love, and Joy… in a Work of Art.

Enjoy the story and soul of your pet in your favorite places - whether on the wall above “their spot” on the couch, on the wall next to your nightstand - to be seen and, more importantly, felt, each and every day.

Maybe you prefer a heartfelt gallery wall of all their best moments, a story album in “their” color, or another custom piece of art that is 100% them. We’ll provide you with keepsakes you’ll love - every time.
