info & Pricing

Hello- I’m Lindsay Baca!

It’s so nice to meet you! I’ve been a completely unabashed adorer of animals for my entire life, which led me into pet photography, as I can’t help but document what makes me happiest! Dogs are my favorite animal on the planet (Don’t get me wrong, I love you fiercely too, kitties!) and they delight me to no end. Being a professional pet photographer is the most fun job ever, and you’ll definitely see it when I’m with you during the session - I LOVE this!

The pup you see here in this photo with me is my sweet 9 year old labradoodle Louie, who is love on four legs. 

After 11 years of photographing pets, I know just how to interact with your pet to capture their personality in the way you want to remember forever, no matter what their quirks are. I can’t wait to meet you and your little loves to make some magical photos for you to treasure always!

When I’m not photographing dogs, I’m hiking with mine and going on adventures with my husband and our two little humans around Portland, Central Oregon, and the coast. I feel so lucky to live in a state that has such incredible beauty and fun to offer and I like to make the most of it!

1. GETTING STARTED

After we decide on the perfect date for your photo session, I’ll send you the pre-session questionnaire, which helps me get to know your pets a little bit better and what you are most hoping for out of your experience. You’ll also sign the contact, and pay the booking fee, which will secure your date on the calendar.

4. AFTER YOUR SESSION

This will help tide you over a bit until the rest of your images are ready to view. We’ll set up a time to get together via zoom or in your home for your viewing and ordering session done about 2-3 weeks after our shoot date.

2. CHECKING IN

A few days before your session I will check in and confirm all the details and can answer any lingering questions you may have to make sure you’re ready for a great session. If the weather is seeming iffy for your date (Oh, Oregon!!), then we will checking at this time about potentially re-scheduling. If this needs to happen, then we can usually find an alternate date pretty soon after.

Your viewing and ordering session will be your chance to see your stunning finished images on a large screen, and you’ll also be able to see and feel all the gorgeous wall art and album options in person.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

about your session

How far in advance do i need to book my session?

You can book your session up to a year in advance, but most people book several weeks to a few months beforehand. Spring and fall are really popular times to schedule a session, so I would recommend getting your date on the calendar as soon as you decide you would like to do a session, so all the available dates aren’t already booked up! I do keep some wiggle room in my schedule for last minute sessions (and reschedules due to weather), so don’t be afraid to ask about that if you would like to get it scheduled as soon as possible.

What's the photo session like?
We play, we run, we sit, we stay, we have a glorious time!  This is fun for your pet and it should be, as the best photos come from happy pets.  I’ll spend the first few minutes getting to know you and your pet and then we’ll begin shooting.  I’ll get a wide variety of shots and we’ll be trying lots of different things…anything to get that amazing photo that you’ll love forever. Our shoots are super fun! Each shoot lasts between 1-2 hours, depending on the pet.

Where will we shoot?

There are so many options! I customize your session location based on the time of year you schedule your session in, where you live, and what your landscape preferences are. If you want to schedule your session right away, I’ll let you know the best possible locations to choose between for the most awesome results. If you are able to plan ahead a bit to harness the glories of the Pacific Northwest to your best advantage and you want to have your session amongst spring flowers, or in the peak of the stunning fall colors, I know all the best spots and times to schedule your session. Let me know what you are envisioning, and if you don’t have something specific in mind, I’ll give you a list of suggestions.

 

my pet has some behavior issues. Can we still do this?

Every animal is different and certainly sometimes our pets might have a behavior issue or two!  No worries, I’ve seen it all and have methods for dealing with any challenges.  After booking, I’ll send you a questionnaire to fill out regarding your pet’s general personality and any particular quirks they might be sporting.  The questionnaire is also a chance to let me know how your pet tends to respond to new situations,what makes me happy, and also what sets them off if they have aggression issues.  Having all this info before the shoot is a great help so I know what to expect and how to approach each pet uniquely.

What if i have more than two pets?

Your session covers up to 2 pets who live in the same household, so if you have more that you would like photographed, it’s a $50 fee for each additional one. We’ll need to allow extra time to make sure they all have their time in the spotlight, so your session may last up to 2 hours. It’s a good idea to have an extra set of hands to help with wrangling, so bring your partner or a friend to help with assisting!

My dog can't be off leash, is that ok?

You  might be surprised to find out that most dogs I photograph are on leash for most of their session! Safety is the number one priority, and if we can’t 100% trust them to stay put when we need them to, then the leash stays on. Fear not though- I will use my editing skills to remove the leash in post production, and when you see the finished product, you will be amazed since it looks like it was never there!

How should we prepare before the shoot?

Great question, so glad you asked! 😉 If your dog has a ton of energy, it’s a great idea to take them for a long walk beforehand so they won’t be too hyper during the photo shoot. Please make sure that they are clean and groomed the way you like best, and definitely remove any eye goop.  If you would like to be in some of the photos, please make sure to prep yourself too beforehand!  I would suggest wearing solid colors and not black, white, or red, if possible. I’ll include more details on how to best get ready to be photographed when I send you the session guide.

What happens after the shoot?
I’ll get to work editing and perfecting the images of your pet right after the shoot. Within a few days, your pet will be featured in the Sit! Stay Pet Photography blog so you can swoon over how epicly adorable your pet looks, and can share the link with your friends. About 2 weeks after the shoot we will meet for an ordering session where I will help you decide what kind of products you would like. Photo prints, albums, canvas gallery wraps, bamboo prints, flash drives, and greeting cards are all available.

Can I wait to place my order after the viewing & ordering session?

Your viewing and ordering session if the very best time to select your favorite images you would like for your wall art displays or an album, especially because you have me there to help you decide what works best! Please familiarize yourself with the product options beforehand, so you already have an idea about what you would like to order and what wall art sizes would fit best in your home. This will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed, since you already have a loose plan.

How do i pay for my order?

I accept cash, checks, credit cards, and PayPal. I also offer interest free custom payment plans! Your order will be processed when the full amount has been received. 

I can’t wait to hear from you!

 

Please let me know a few details about you and your pets, or your needs for your commercial photo shoot, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible with more info about your custom photo session. I can’t wait to create awesome images for you that you’ll love forever!
