Did you know...

  • Your dog doesn’t need any special training and can stay on a leash the whole time!
  •  I can remove leashes in Photoshop and even people. Most of the dogs I work with are actually on a leash.
  • We know that these are animals and don’t always perform like we expect. The goal is for this to be a stress free and FUN session for you and your pet. You’ll love having these sweet memoires to look back on one day!

Frequently Asked Questions

My dog can't be off leash... will I still get good pictures?

Most of the dogs I photograph are actually on a leash. Most public areas require dogs to be on leashes. I can remove people and leashes in postprocessing! The only thing I don’t remove is a harness. 

Will you come to my home to photograph my dog?

Unfortunately no. The only time I’ll photograph at your home is if your pet has limited mobility and/or anxiety. These are usually older dogs for end of life sessions.

To get the images and style you see on the website we need a big distance from your dog to the background, and that can be hard to do in a neighborhood backyard with fencing.

What if it rains?

When we book your session you can pick a couple of rain dates too. This is KY and the weather can change quickly. Even if it’s raining in the morning we might have perfect weather by the evening.

“Thank you Molly for the beautiful pictures of my girls! I honestly wasn’t sure how our energetic, mind-0f-her-own, Mabel would sit still long enough for a picture and I was worried I had given you an impossible task. But you did it! You knew exactly how to manage her and now we have these wonderful pictures of them both!! Thank you so much!"

Pomsky Pet Session

Nicholasville, KY

What a treat to work with these beautiful dogs!!

The days really do fly by. I’m so lucky to be able to freeze time and capture these moments for the pet parents I work with!

A dog’s only fault is that they don’t live long enough. I’m so glad I can help preserve the love we have for our pets even after they are no longer with us. It’s so good to remember the best times with our furry family members and the pet session was created to capture that special bond.
