If you apply, please add my email (info@sandramccarthyphoto.com) to your contacts/address book to ensure that the upcoming emails reach your inbox. Sometimes I get lumped in with spam/junk mail or sent to Gmail's Promotions tab. You'll want to be sure you're getting my emails as they contain important steps and additional details about this project.
Once the book is published you will have an opportunity to purchase copies of the book.
-
Can any breed of dog participate?
-
While the session fees will be donated to an Australian Shepherd rescue organization (Australian Shepherds Furever), any breed can participate in the book project.
-
When and where will sessions be held?
-
Sessions will take place in July and early August in the Greater Concord NH area. Once your application is accepted, I will contact you to schedule your session. There will be a series of dates and locations available to select from.
-
I have more than one dog? Can they all participate?
-
I can accept a maximum of two dogs per registration. Given the shortness of the session, it would not allow more than two to be photographed properly.
-
My pet can't be off leash, can we still have a photo session?
-
Of course! We can photograph your pet with leash on. The vast majority of my sessions are with leashes on. Through post process editing, I can skillfully remove those leashes and make your images look stunning.
-
Can I be in the photos?
-
You are welcome to participate in the photo session, but please note that the focus of the session will be to capture the image that will go in the book which will be of your dog only.
-
Will I receive any of the photos?
-
Digital files and prints are available for purchase but are not included in your session. We will have an ordering appointment where you will have an opportunity to review the images taken at the session, and order what you love as wall art, print products such as albums or folio boxes as well as digital files, but there is no requirement to make a purchase but I hope you'll love the images and take advantage of the opportunity to invest in artwork of your pet.
-
What kind of print products do you offer?
-
I have a variety of products available including wall art (starting at $650), folio boxes (starting at $900) and albums (starting at $1700). Digital file and gift prints packages are also available (starting at $480). A product/digital purchase is not required to participate but I hope you love your images and will want to get a keepsake from your session.
-
I have more questions....
