Thank you for considering Sheepish Grin for your animal's photo session. Sheepish Grin Animal Photography specializes in creating images of pets in garden and outdoor settings. Sheepish Grin Animal Photography is for animal lovers with a strong connection to nature, who want colorful photographs of their pet in a natural environment.
The process is simple. You can either email or call. Then, we choose a suitable time and date, as well as the location where you would like the session to take place. I can also make some suggestions if need be. Additional information and a copy of the contract will be sent for you to look over and fill out. I'll call the day before to confirm the appointment.
Natural, organic treats and a toy for your pup are brought to the session. The session typically lasts about one hour to an hour and a half. We set up an in-home ordering session, usually within a week after the photo session, where we sit down to help you select photos and products.
Your order will arrive no later than two weeks. Get in touch with Sheepish Grin Animal Photography to book your session!

FAQS
WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE SESSION?
Sheepish Grin will call you the day before to confirm. What if it’s going to be raining cats and dogs? We’ll just reschedule.
WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY?
Please note that a 24-hour cancelation is required. A $50 non-refundable fee will be applied.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE SESSION?
The session lasts anywhere from an hour to two hours. First, we take time to get to know your animal before the photographing begins. We want them to feel comfortable. We take as many different poses and expressions of your animal as possible. We try different settings at the location. Typically we work in natural light settings, but can take photos inside your home as well.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SESSION?
After the session, usually within a week, you will get an email with a password to your private photo gallery. This will consist typically of 20 edited images. This gallery is available to you for two weeks from the time of the email. Feel free to share it with family and friends!
WHAT IS THE ORDERING PROCESS?
You can either order by choosing from your online gallery or we can set up an in-home ordering session. The advantage of an in-home ordering session is you have the photographer’s advice as to what is best and suitable. If your gallery expires and you want to order after that time, there will be a $25 gallery re-upload fee. $200 is the minimum product purchase required. 8x10 gift prints start at $30. Collections start at $300. Each image selected is carefully edited and prepared for printing.
HERE’S SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:
1. Think about where you would like the shoot to take place. Where will your animal feel comfortable? At your home, at the park or at the beach? If it’s somewhere your dog is likely to be very distracted, this might not be the best place.
2. A walk before the session with your pup is always advisable if they are of a spirited nature, but don’t get them too pooped out!
3. Double check your animal’s appearance before the shoot. Gunky eyes we can fix, other things, not so much.
4. For Sheepish Grin, the safety and well being of your animal comes first. Leashes can be removed via Photoshop.
5. If your animal has a favorite toy, bring it along to the shoot, (Unless it’s likely to get lost. We want no sad pups.)
6. Is there something special about your animal you want the photographer to capture?
7. The session should be fun for you and your animal.Sheepish Grin offers photo workshops. We will trek throughout Winslow Farm Animal Sanctuary, with special access to all the animals for photo opportunities. The focus will be on photographing the animals and obtaining creative photographs rather than technical aspects as to accommodate all skill levels. This means yes you can use your phone camera and get some great pics! Sign up today as spaces are limited.
Payment can be via invoice ahead of time per request or bring a check or cash the day of.
