LIMITED TIME STUDIO PET MINI SESSIONS

LLB-Creative-mini-pet-sessions-550-finalGood morning ladies and gents! I don’t usually cross-post like this, but I recently relaunched my professional writing and photography website LLB Creative. To celebrate, I’m offering studio pet mini sessions in Toronto at a great price and as you are all animal lovers too it only felt right to share the news!

Why is a mini session a good idea?
The reason I’ve decided to offer mini pet sessions is because I truly, deeply believe that having professional photographs of a beloved furball is a priceless experience. Pets are an important part of the family and as such should be included in the family album. Plus, I love the chic, modern look that a studio setting can bring to a session, don’t you?

What exactly is a mini studio pet session?
 A mini studio pet session is a short and sweet professional photoshoot for your pet in a studio setting. I promise the studio experience to be soothing, fun and relaxed for your pet. There will be lots of treats for your pet and snacks for you!

What will the session include?
A mini session means 30 minutes of professional shoot time with yours truly and ONE pet. You are guaranteed six final hi-res, edited photographs. I do my best to supply a lot of laughs as well along the way (fortunately for me the pups usually help with that!) There will also be coffee, tea and snacks for you while your pupster struts their stuff on camera. And as the doting pet parent that you are, you are of course invited to observe the session in the studio!

What if I want more than one pet photographed? Do I have to book multiple mini sessions?
The choice is entirely yours! You can absolutely book multiple mini sessions (one for each pet) so that you have six photos of each. Or you can bring a maximum of three pets to one mini session and have a couple of photos of each. Please note, however, every additional pet in a mini session will incur an additional $25 fee, because as you can imagine working with multiple animals on set is far more challenging.

What if I want more than six photographs?
The studio pet mini session package guarantees that you will receive six final professionally edited photographs. However, additional photographs from your session will also be available for $15/photograph. This additional cost is necessary as it takes a great deal of time and care to edit an image so that it is as pretty and as memorable as possible. My goal with any pet portrait session is to achieve that ‘melt your heart’ aesthetic and I will deliver nothing less!

What pets can be photographed?
Dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes are more than welcome at these mini sessions as long as they are well-mannered and up-to-date on their vaccinations.

Can I be in the photo with my pet?
Unfortunately no. Not this time. Due to the short time I’ll have to work with in these mini sessions complete focus will be on your pet to guarantee the six beautiful images I have promised you. However, if you would love some photos of you and your pet please feel free to contact me about booking a regular family photo session.

Isn’t $100 rather expensive?
I’m glad you asked. I have no problem being transparent about my pricing, as you can see here on my rates page. The answer is, no — $100 for a photo session of this nature is actually a bargain! A steal really.

I regularly charge $250 for a 1 hour, natural light pet photoshoot and an additional $50/hour for a studio session. Sign up for this studio pet mini session opportunity and you’re getting a pet photoshoot for a whopping 60% off! Wow!

What is your photography style like?
You’ve probably already seen my photography work peppered throughout the pages of Pawsh, but in case you haven’t or would like to take a look again please feel free to take a peek at my photo portfolio here.

How can I book my studio pet mini session?
Simply fill out this nifty contact form with ‘Yes, I would love a pet mini session!’ in the subject line! Or email me at [email protected]. Please note that spaces are limited and will be booked on a first come, first served basis. Also, I will only be accepting bookings until August 11th at midnight, so don’t miss out!

Have a fantastic afternoon everyone! I hope to see some of you at these mini sessions! xo

WIMBLEDON DOG TOYS

wimbledon-dog-toysWe’re big fans of Wimbledon around here, so thought we’d do a little roundup of tennis inspired dog products! Here’s what every tennis-loving pup needs to bring their A-game on the tennis court…or you know, in the backyard.

1. iFetch — a high-tech invention isn’t actually available for purchase yet, but it is in development on Kickstarter and Rory and I have instantly fallen in love with the concept. It is an automatic ball launcher that turns itself on when a ball is dropped in the top and turns itself off again once the ball has been launched a whopping 10 to 30 feet!

You can adjust the throwing  distance to adapt from indoor use to outdoor use AND, if your pup is clever, you can train them to use this contraption on their own! I can’t wait to get my paws on one of these personally! If you love the idea too (and the sleek design!) pop over to Kickstarter to show iFetch some love and support!

2. Number 1 Dog Trophy Toy — whether you’re handing out prizes for good effort or for completely dominating the court, everyone likes something shiny! This toy may not be an exact replica of the Wimbledon trophy, but it expresses a similar sentiment.

3. Strawberry Dog Toy — what is Wimbledon without strawberries? You might not want to share your own sweet bowl of strawberries with your pup, but you can still treat them to the widely regarded tradition with their own chew toy! This beauty has a treat spot too to add extra appeal!

4.  Tenis Ball Rope Toy — one cannot simply run around after a tennis ball all day to train for Wimbledon. These bright rope toys will help your dog workout in a different manner via a delightful game of tug-of-war. It’s all about varying your workout after all. This toy is also great for teaching the fundamental concept of fetch to your dog, especially if their still in the phase of not wanting to give the ball back entirely.

5. BOB Pet Bowls — every aspiring athlete understands that that chowing down is important for a healthy game. And because the popular athletes always seem to tote the coolest gear when on-the-go, this ergonomic 2-in-1 water and food dish takes the cake! Not only does it offer a funky, modern design in a dazzling range of bright colours, but it is also of raised height to allow for better digestion. Nifty!

6. Dog T-Shirt — every pooch needs some workout gear if training for a big game day. I adore this garment’s slogan, “Your workout is our warm-up!” What’s a big of friendly competition without some stylish mind games, right?
