  • Step 1

    As simple as reaching out – outline a deadline, share a bit about your subject, and let us know your location. From there, a complimentary phone consultation awaits where Liz not only gathers your ideas but also discusses the photographs to be taken. Together, we shape your concepts, editing styles, and end goals.

    Where Liz truly shines behind the lens. This is the moment when timeless images are expertly captured, preserving the essence of your beloved pet. Through Liz's skillful eye and dedication, each photograph becomes a masterpiece, immortalizing the unique charm and personality that make your pet so special. It's in these moments that the magic of MJ Pawtography truly unfolds.

    Here your images undergo a careful journey through expert retouching and precise styling, where every detail is thoughtfully attended to. Within the retouching and post-production process, many days are devoted to crafting each inch of the piece, ensuring that every element contributes to the creation of something truly iconic. This dedicated effort transforms each photograph into a work of art that displays the essence and beauty of your pet in a way that is both timeless and extraordinary. As we approach the conclusion of this intricate process, we seamlessly transition into the next stage of bringing your personalized photography experience to fruition.

  • Step 4

    We come together in person to unveil the finished masterpieces, creating a personalized and intimate experience. This session transcends a mere unveiling – it's a moment where we delve into the realm of custom work, tailoring galleries and crafting statement pieces that evoke emotion and capture the unique essence of your pet. It's the first time you will see your beloved companion immortalized in their artwork, and we welcome any adjustments to ensure the images suit your exact expectations or desires. This unveiling becomes a cherished interaction, marking the culmination of a journey where your pet's personality is translated into captivating custom art that resonates with you on a profound level.

  • Step 5

    Completes the voyage, your artwork is entrusted to our USA-based printing partners, where skilled professionals diligently bring each piece to life. After a thorough quality inspection by Liz, ensuring each image meets the highest standards of excellence, arrangements are made for the flawless images to reach you. This marks the culmination of your personalized and enchanting photography experience with MJ Pawtography, as these captivating pieces find their way into your home, becoming an integral part of your living space.

Liz is amazing at what she does! She knows just what to do to get the perfect shot of your baby!! We have done both studio and outdoor sessions. I loved them both! She doesn't overwhelm you with a ton of pictures to choose from on reveal day. So that was extremely nice. She made everything quick and easy and left us with memories that will last a lifetime! If you are on the fence about doing this.... I say DO IT! You won't regret it!!!
