The details
Mini Sessions are a great way to get updated portraits of your pet or family without the full investment in a full private session. Perhaps you've already done a full session and just want an updated portrait, or perhaps somebody new has joined your family?
Subjects can be dogs, cats, bunnies or kids... Family is where the heart is.
We'll spend approximately twenty minutes getting as much variety as time allows. Sessions can include multiple subjects (pets, kids and you). After the session, the the session is edited to the best images. A mini session usually yields ~25 images to choose from. The proofs will be posted in an online proof gallery for viewing and ordering. We offer Image Presentation meetings at our Oakland office for you to view sample products, so you order with confidence.
The session fee includes the 20 minute sitting and one digital file.
You'll have the option to purchase additional prints, canvas wraps, digital files.

I'm Tonya.
I specialize in pet portrait photography and have been serving the San Francisco area for over 15 years. My love of animals and photography merged when my soul-mate kitty, Valencia, was diagnosed with cancer and I wanted photos that captured how much he meant to me. It became my mission to do the same for others.
Because pets are family.
