Frequently Asked Questions
What if my dog doesn’t sit still?

Do you only photograph dogs?
No. I photograph a variety of pets and always approach each session with patience and care.
What if my pet is very old or sick?
Legacy sessions are handled gently, with flexibility and compassion. Your pet’s comfort always comes first.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are held on location in beautiful outdoor settings across Nova Scotia, chosen for comfort, light, and meaning.
