Christmas Portrait Sessions in Niagara
Two brand new sets are in the works. One is a lush green forest, the other is all fairy lights and golden touches.
The Setting
Deck the Dogs sessions take place in a private room inside a century-old stone and wood barn at Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery in Jordan. Every November I transform it into a holiday set worthy of your dog’s best festive form (and yours, if you’d like to join in).
Puppies, seniors, busy dogs and would-be Christmas carolers are all welcome. The new sets are still under wraps while my elves and I do the heavy lifting in the workshop, but the portraits below will give you a sense of what’s coming.
A handful of examples of past year’s set ups.

What if my dog is nervous or reactive?
That is exactly why the session is only thirty minutes. Short, low pressure, and we work at their pace. I have successfully photographed anxious dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs who are so “over” having their photo taken. We figure out what works for your dog and go from there. Some of my favourite images have come from the “challenging” sessions.
