Long Leash - Pet Photographer - Wilbraham, MA

Member since Nov 2020

As a passionate pet photographer with over three years of experience, I specialize in capturing the unique personalities of your beloved animals in both my studio and on location. Whether you're looking to immortalize your dog, cat, horse, or even your chinchilla, I offer a tailored photography experience that caters to a wide variety of pets, including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and more! My studio is equipped with professional lighting and high-quality equipment to ensure that every shot is a masterpiece. I also provide the option to photograph horses at either our scenic property or yours, allowing for a comfortable and familiar setting for your equine friends.

I am proud to be fully insured, giving you peace of mind as we create stunning portraits that will last a lifetime. Each photograph is printed on archival photographic paper, ensuring that your images retain their beauty for years to come. To enhance your experience, all images are carefully retouched before printing, providing you with a polished final product that you can cherish forever. Plus, my services include prints in the hourly rate, making it easy for you to get high-quality keepsakes without any hidden costs.

For your convenience, I also offer mobile services, because I understand that sometimes, "cat-astrophes" happen and quick adjustments need to be made. If you're ready to create beautiful holiday cards featuring your furry companions, now is the perfect time to book a session! Let’s capture those precious moments together. Ready to get started?
