Your Pet Photography Ordering Session: What to Expect (and How to Get the Most From It)

Whether you're just exploring pet photography or you've recently completed a session with Happy Paws, this post will walk you through the next step: the ordering session. This is where your favorite images come to life as custom artwork, tailored for your home and lifestyle.

A Private Gallery Reveal—Tailored Just for You

If you’ve already had your session, your gallery will be ready in about 2–3 weeks. Then we’ll schedule your ordering appointment—ideally in your home, where we can thoughtfully design artwork that fits your space and personal style.

During your ordering session, you’ll:

  • View a hand-edited, curated gallery of your best images

  • Get a guided walkthrough of wall art and album options

  • Explore product samples to feel finishes and formats

  • Use personalized wall mock-ups to visualize artwork at true-to-scale

  • Place your order that day with expert help and no guesswork

From Portraits to Statement Pieces

This isn’t just about pet portraits—it’s about turning memories into meaningful, everyday joy. Most clients design:

  • A statement piece for their main wall (30x40 or 40x60 acrylic)

  • A gallery wall collection for stairwells or hallways

  • A heirloom album that tells the full story of the session

Many families invest between $2,500 and $5,000, and some go beyond to create multi-room displays or thoughtful gifts. Everything is customized to fit your space, style, and story.

Want Bonus Value? Pre-Purchase Credit Before Your Appointment

Already planning for wall art or an album? You can pre-purchase credit ahead of your ordering session—and receive bonus value to stretch your investment further.

Here’s how it works:

  • Email or text the amount you’d like to pre-purchase

  • I’ll send a personalized invoice

  • You’ll receive bonus credit added to your total at your ordering session

It’s a flexible way to plan ahead and give yourself room to say "yes" to your favorites when the moment comes.

Tips to Prepare for the Ordering Appointment

  • Photograph your walls (above the couch, hallway, etc.) so I can create mock-ups in advance

  • Measure key display areas to ensure we scale pieces just right

  • Review the product options if you’d like a refresher

  • Bring anyone helping make decisions—this part is exciting!
