The Experience

At McCormack & Co Photography, I strive to create an exceptional portrait photography experience for both pets and their owners. From the moment you step into my studio, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. I love to take the time to understand your pet's unique personality, ensuring that each portrait reflects their true essence. I provide a comfortable and safe environment where pets can relax and feel at ease, making it easier to capture their natural expressions and behaviors. I am experienced in handling all types of dogs, cats from the smallest to the largest dogs, ensuring that every furry friend feels comfortable and cared for throughout the session. I do offer a range of backgrounds to add a touch of personalization to your pet's portraits and can incorporate any props you might want to use. I understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family, and I am committed to creating a memorable and enjoyable experience for both you and your furry companion at my studio.

What’s the best way to start my studio experience?

A question I am sure many people have and I’d like to walk you through those steps:

1. Fill out the contact form

   This is a great way to start the conversation about your portrait session. On the form, briefly mention some of your goals and I will reach out to you via email to setup a quick phone call appointment.

2. In-person consultation or phone call

   Depending upon your portrait session goals, a quick phone call appointment will help to better advise you on the best portrait session for you and your needs. I do offer two different types of portrait session:

   • Custom Session - includes multiple session hours, design and viewing consultations

   • Mini Session - includes 30 minute session time, same day image selection

3. Portrait session

   Preparation and planning is key to every portrait session. If you do a custom session, we can meet at the studio and design your session, from styling, figuring out outfit changes and planning out your priorities. If you are doing a mini session, we can go over ideas via email and a quick phone call to discuss your outfits and priorities.

4. Design appointment

   If you are doing a mini session, I will create a set of proofs for you to look at which usually takes 15-20 mins, and this happens right after your portrait session. For all custom sessions, I will create a beautiful slideshow of the best proofs from your portrait session which can be same day or on a different day.

5. Artwork collection

   On the day you place your order, we will immediately start work on it. Once your images are edited, they go to production. When the products arrive at the studio, they will be quality checked. If everything passes the quality check, I will reach out to you to arrange a print collection pickup appointment. From editing, production to shipping the product back to the studio it can take 6-8 weeks after placing the order.
