Shutter Hound Pet Photography | ATX

Because pets are family, too!

The Process

I believe the photography process should be fun and relaxed. I strive to make it just that! Here is a general overview of the whole process after contacting me and booking your preferred date. More questions and answers can be found on the FAQ page, too.

1. The Preshoot Consultation


This is where I get to meet you face to face and most importantly hear all about your pet or even meet them! We’ll chat about your session details and I’ll answer any questions you may have.  You can show me that spot on the wall you’re hoping to put a photo of your furfamily and anything else that you’re wanting to incorporate into your home decor. 003lighticons-11full

2. The Photo Session


The fun part! We will meet at the location of your choice (somewhere your pet is familiar and comfortable with – back  yard, family member’s yard, etc.) for approximately an hour. We will work together to produce wonderful photos of your pet that will be treasured forever. I recommend bringing their favorite toys and treats to keep your pet’s attention while they strike their best model pose. And since I know how hard it is to wait and see your photos, I’ll post a preview in a few days from your session on the Shutter Hound Facebook page, so be sure to ‘like’ it!

3. The Online Gallery AND/OR In Home Viewing + Ordering Session


This is where you get to see your photos! I’ll select the very best photos from your session (at least 25), edit them to perfection, and send you an online gallery 1 – 2 weeks after your session takes place! You can send the gallery to friends and family and even mark your favorites if you need a couple days to decide what you want. Please note that only prints, canvases, metal products, and some gift items are available through the online gallery. Other items must be ordered directly through Shutter Hound Pet Photography with an in home viewing and ordering session. Prints and products ordered through the online gallery will be shipped to you via UPS ground.

Some products are only available through the in home viewing and ordering session. This is great, because I can help you with your order and make your selections. We’ll go through them together and narrow it down.  I’ll have samples of the different products and will be there every step of the way to help you. Please make sure all decision makers in your family are present for the in home viewing and ordering session. All orders placed at the viewing and ordering session are final, due to the nature of the products, but I assure you that I will make sure you are satisfied and in love with all your products. Prints and products take about 1 – 2 weeks to be completed. If you’re in the area, I can deliver them to your home or, for an extra fee, you can have your items shipped directly to your doorstep. Please note that in home viewing and ordering sessions have a minimum order of $100.

Cheeto is an orange tabby kitten with a big person Cheeto is an orange tabby kitten with a big personality! He was rescued by his mom and dad, and it's clear to see how much they love him. He is very energetic and rambunctious but also loves to nap and snuggle. His favorite things are playing in his tunnels, chasing his butterfly, and catching his mouse. He loves to be in front of a camera, so we had a fun and easy session, especially as far as cats go. Cats, especially, dictate how the session goes and we adapt to whatever they seem to like best. We ended up with some really cute shots of Cheeto!

This session marked a first for me – a together This session marked a first for me – a together session with both a dog and a cat! I was up for the challenge, and we got some really cute family shots of everybody together. Linda and Marcus created some matching collars for both Roxy and Juniper that I absolutely LOVED! Without further ado, let me introduce you to the fur babies! We have Roxy, the Pitbull-mix, who was very food-motivated and cooperated quite well with some tasty bribes. A good treat bag shake by me led to some adorable shots. Then we had Juniper, the gorgeous white and grey cat. As most cat sessions tend to go, she was a little apprehensive of a new person with a big black thing in front of their face. We still managed some cute shots by keeping my distance and letting Juniper get more comfortable in front of the camera. The focus was some group, family-style photos and we definitely achieved that!

The death of a beloved pet is an incredibly sad oc The death of a beloved pet is an incredibly sad occasion. Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🐾🌈 is the day that we remember the pets that are no longer with us. While the immense pain of losing a pet heals somewhat with time, they are never ever forgotten. It is observed August 28th every year.

Author Deborah Barnes founded Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day in honor of her cat, Mr. Jazz, and as a way for people to share their memories of the pets that they have lost and find comfort in each others shared experience. She shared the journey of letting him go in her book, Purr Prints of the Heart – A Cat’s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond and the reaction from her readers was so overwhelming, she decided to create the day in his honor as a way for others across the world to share memories of their own pets they had loved and lost.

Pets of all sizes are included whether it’s dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, mice, lizards, snakes, pigs, cows, etc… No pet owner looks forward to the day they have to say goodbye, but remember that you are not alone in your sadness and pet lovers everywhere are here for you in that difficult time.

Today, I invite you to reflect on pets you’ve lost, whether your own, a family member, a friend, or even the pets we’ve come to love on social media. Share stories about and photos of your pets using the hashtag #RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay.

I had the pleasure of photographing Astro, a 15-ye I had the pleasure of photographing Astro, a 15-year-old yellow-brindle hound mix, and Ladybug, a 13-year-old mixed breed. Unfortunately, I have to report that Astro is no longer with us, which is why the post from this session is a bit delayed. His mom described him as a couch potato but a gentle sweetie, as well. His sweet nature and the special bond between him and his mom were evident just in the hour or so that I spent with them. We wanted to get a session in because his mom was worried he might not have a lot of time left. I’m so glad we got our session in and captured some photographs of Astro and Ladybug. Ladybug was a bit standoffish at first, which is totally fine! The pets are the ones in charge of the session and I adapt to whatever they prefer. She did warm up to me and the photo shoot, especially after getting some very delicious treats. It’s never easy hearing one of the pets I’ve photographed has passed, but I am always honored and humbled that I could provide memories that will last forever. To Astro…

Miso is a domestic short hair that was adopted rec Miso is a domestic short hair that was adopted recently and is less than a year old. She is one of the most playful cats I've ever met. She'll even play fetch! She was an absolute ham, and quite the challenge to get her to stay in one spot for too long. That is alright, though; we still got some amazing shots! I especially love the one of her playing on the cat tree.
