Sessions & Packages
A portrait session as unique as your dog.
Every package includes professionally edited digital images delivered via a private online gallery — yours to download, print and treasure forever. No hidden costs, no print-by-print upselling. Just beautiful images and a session your dog will actually enjoy.
How it works: Choose your session, book your preferred date and time, and pay in full to secure it. Before your session I’ll send you a short questionnaire so I can get to know your dog before they even set paw in the studio. On the day, we’ll take our time, follow your dog’s lead, and create something extraordinary together.
All sessions take place at Solas Studio, Swan Valley, Perth WA. Sessions are strictly by appointment only.
Classic Studio Session
$595
The signature Solas Studio experience. Dramatic, timeless portraits of your dog against our dark studio backdrop – the kind of images that stop people in their tracks when they see them on your wall.
Up to 45 minutes in the studio · 6–8 professionally edited digital images, yours to keep, print and share forever · Up to 2 dogs from the same household · $100 printing credit · Online gallery delivery
Additional dog: A third dog from the same household can be added for $75 and an extra 15 minutes session time.
Sensory Play Session
$695
For the dog who loves to play and live in the moment. The Sensory Play Session brings out your dog’s joyful, curious, gloriously chaotic best self – bubbles to chase, lick mats to devour, snuffle balls to explore, treats to catch mid-air. All captured with the same dramatic studio lighting that makes every image look like it belongs in a gallery.
45–60 minutes in the studio · 8–10 professionally edited digital images, yours to keep, print and share forever · Bubbles, lick mats, snuffle balls and treat props included · Up to 2 dogs from the same household · $100 printing credit · Online gallery delivery
Additional dog: A third dog from the same household can be added for $75 and an extra 15 minutes session time.
Birthday Session
$795
Another year older. Another year of muddy paws, stolen socks and unconditional love. That deserves a proper celebration.
The Birthday Session is a joyful, styled portrait experience built entirely around your dog – their own personalised dog-safe cake, birthday treats and elegant props, with either a confetti shower or a gentler confetti spread for dogs who prefer things a little calmer. We’ll weave in some classic studio portraits alongside the celebrations too, so you come away with a beautiful range of images that tells the whole story of who they are right now.
45–60 minutes in the studio · 5-7 professionally edited digital images, yours to keep, print and share forever · Personalised dog-safe celebration cake included · Birthday treats and styled props included · Confetti shower or confetti spread (based on your dog’s preference) · Classic studio portraits included alongside celebration shots · $100 printing credit · Online gallery delivery · Single dog
Legacy Session
$695
For the dogs who have given everything. Some sessions are about joy and celebration. This one is about something deeper – the quiet, profound love between you and your older dog who has been by your side through everything. The Legacy Session is designed for senior dogs, dogs receiving palliative care, or dogs whose time with you may be limited. There is no rush here. No pressure, no posing, no agenda. Just an unhurried hour to be present with your dog, while I capture who they are, exactly as they are now, for you to keep forever.
60 minutes, entirely at your dog’s pace · 6–8 professionally edited digital images, yours to keep, print and share forever · Gentle handling throughout, with as many breaks as needed · $100 printing credit · Online gallery delivery · Single dog only
If you’re unsure whether now is the right time, please reach out. I can talk it through with you. These sessions book quickly and I always recommend not waiting.
Watch Me Grow
$1,795
Your puppy’s first year goes faster than you’re ready for. One minute they’re a clumsy, oversized-pawed bundle of fluff who can barely make it up the back step. Then they’re a gangly, cheeky teenager who has discovered the zoomies. Then somehow, before you’ve had a chance to catch your breath, they’re one year old.
Watch Me Grow is a three-session package that captures all of it – your dog’s entire first year, from wobbly puppyhood right through to lanky, awkward teenager, right through to their first birthday celebration. Because they won’t be this small for long – these are the moments worth holding onto.
Three studio sessions across your dog’s first year · Session One at approximately 3 months · Session Two at approximately 6 months · Session Three at approximately 12 months including birthday cake smash · 4–6 professionally edited digital images per session · 12–18 images total, yours to keep, print and share forever · $250 printing credit · Online gallery delivery after each session · Single dog
Payment structure: 50% deposit ($897.50) due at booking · 25% ($448.75) due one week prior to Session Two · 25% ($448.75) due one week prior to Session Three
