CHRISTMAS MINI SESSIONS 2026

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

Christmas is better with pets. 

Whether you have one ridiculously handsome pup, a cat who believes they own the house, a whole crew of pets, or a slightly chaotic combination of everyone, let's make some Christmas magic!

These sessions are designed to be quick, fun, relaxed, and completely pet-focused, with plenty of room for those little personalities to shine.

Because let's be honest… getting the perfect Christmas photo of your pets doesn't always happen on the first click. And that's okay.

CHRISTMAS PET PORTRAITS


  • $45 SESSION FEE
  • 20-minute time slot
  • 1 high-resolution digital image
  • November 8th, 21st & 22nd
  • Tripdog Photography Studio: Blackfalds, AB

Your $45 session fee includes a 20 minute appointment (10 minute portrait session with a 10 minute image selection) and one high-resolution digital image of your choice.

You'll also have the opportunity to purchase additional images and Christmas cards if you just can't narrow it down to one!

Because sessions are scheduled back-to-back, please arrive on time and prepared to make your image selection during your appointment.

WHO CAN COME?


Dogs, of course… but they don't get to have ALL the fun!

These sessions aren't just for dogs!

Cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, and other pets are welcome.

You can also include your favourite humans in the photos.

If you're bringing a pet that isn't a dog, please let me know when booking so I can make sure the studio is prepared for their specific needs.

If you have a larger group of pets or have something specific in mind, please reach out before booking.

WHAT TO BRING:


The more comfortable your pet is, the better!

Bringing a dog?

  • Please arrive with your dog wearing a secure collar or harness and leash.
  • Their favourite, high-value treats
  • A favourite toy or squeaker
  • Poop bags — just in case!
  • Anything they need to stay comfortable
  • Lots of patience


Bringing a cat or other pet?

Whenever possible, please bring them in a secure carrier.

If your pet has a favourite blanket, bed, toy, treats, or another comfort item, bring it along!

Familiar smells and objects can help make a new environment feel a little less strange.


For everyone's safety, please keep pets separated from unfamiliar pets while arriving and waiting for your session.
