Book your session online by selecting your preferred studio and time slot. Arrive at our studio at the scheduled time and our staff will be happy to guide you.

We recommend you to research pose inspirations before your session to maximize your time. Consider your desired background color and match your clothes accordingly.

For colored backdrops, choose neutral colors for easy matching or try out complementary colors. Avoid the same or similar shades as the backdrop to prevent blending in.

For Black and White studio sessions, the main background will be grey (white for Flash n Dash Package). Hence, light-colored clothing will create a soft look while dark-colored clothing will create rich contrast.

For a cohesive look, wear all light or all dark; avoid pairing light tops with dark bottoms or vice versa. Patterned clothing can add character, but stick to small prints for a cleaner look. Textured clothing (silk, corduroy, leather) will create different vibes.

We recommend bringing your pet's favorite treats, toys, water and a blanket or bed to help them feel at ease. Begin with simple, comfortable poses, such as sitting or standing next to you, and gradually move to more complex poses as your pet relaxes. Interact with your pet naturally by cuddling, playing, and engaging with them to capture genuine moments. Use noises to elicit different reactions, such as head tilts or happy expressions, for a variety of adorable shots.
