Questions and answers

Q & A. Pet Photographer Viktoriya Aleshenko

Can you photograph just my dog?

Even though my photography style is all about tender affection, warmth and love between you and your best friend, we can focus on them and let their contagious joy and playful energy shine through the photos. I have a package called “Dog’s the star” for just your dog’s photos. 🐾 

Do you photograph cats?

Absolutely! I love photographing cats. Whether it’s capturing their playful moments or their serene beauty. I enjoy working with felines 🐈‍⬛  just as much as dogs. 

What should I wear?

I help to choose your outfit, so don’t hesitate to reach out so we can discuss all the options. 

Your clothing for the photoshoot should be chosen so that you and your dog are clearly visible because you are the main heroes.

Khaki, beige, olive, white milky. The combination of these shades fit perfectly for any location. 

Simple shape and cut, natural fabrics and shades, basically minimalism.

Avoid neon colors at all cost.

My dog doesn't do any tricks, can we still get good photos?

Probably the most common concern clients have before the photoshoot.

In my photography style, it is not about tricks, but about capturing moments of the genuine love, bond and real story between you and your furry friend. 🩶

Every dog has their own unique personality and charm tricks or no tricks.

We will focus on showing their natural beauty and character through my lens to get pure, heartfelt memories frozen in time! 



Do you offer discounts?

Yes, I offer 10% off any package if you choose Edgewater Beach location.

How long is the photo walk?

On average, a photo walk lasts about an hour and a half, sometimes it is quicker or it can take longer. I called it photo walk for a reason, so we’re not in a rush. Everything is done at your convenience and the convenience of your pup. We can take breaks in between.

How long does it take to get photos?

I will send your photos through a personal online gallery link within 2 weeks. They will be available for download within 30 days. Make sure you download them. You get 2 versions of photos: original for printing and web version for social networks.

Do you provide raw images too?

No.

During a photo walk, I take many photos because as you know dogs are unpredictable and move quickly. So not every shot is perfect. I may have 1000 of photos from one photo walk, I will choose the perfect ones. Everything else is somehow flawed (closed eyes, blurry dog during move, uncomfortable pose). So I truly believe it will be unprofessional to provide such images. But if you still want them, we can discuss it. 

How to prepare my dog for a photo walk?

Your dog should have clean and brushed fur for better photos. You can bring wipes for eyes to keep them clean.  

Don’t tire them up before the photo walk. 

They should be slightly hungry so we have their attention during the session and keep them motivated with treats especially if your pup is food driven.

Bring treats and their favorite toys to your session.
