<h3 class="ql-align-desktop-center"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">Private Sessions</span></h3><p class="ql-align-desktop-center ql-paragraph-2"><br></p><p class="ql-align-desktop-center ql-paragraph-2">In studio or at a location of your choice, private sessions are tailored to your specific needs to create one-of-a-kind artwork of your pet. Do you have trouble photographing your pet? During this relaxed, fun play date I will capture their personality.</p>

<h3 class="ql-align-desktop-center"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">Mini Sessions</span></h3><p class="ql-align-desktop-center ql-paragraph-2"><br></p><p class="ql-align-desktop-center ql-paragraph-2"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">Two to three times a year I offer 20 minute mini sessions in studio or at a local park. These are perfect if you just want a handful of images and don't want to spend a lot of time.</span></p>

<h3 class="ql-align-desktop-center">Micro Sessions</h3><p class="ql-paragraph-2 ql-align-desktop-center"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">﻿</span></p><p class="ql-paragraph-2 ql-align-desktop-center"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">﻿These limited edition sessions are just 5 minutes long for holidays including Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, 4th of July, Halloween, and Christmas. Low price, and minimally edited, the micro sessions are a way to get fun, themed photos throughout the year. A different backdrop is used each year, so that you will have a new experience every time.</span></p>

<h2 class="ql-align-desktop-center">Bespoke Wall Art</h2>

<p class="ql-paragraph-1"><span style="color: var(--secondary_paragraphs_color);">Why settle for mass-produced prints that 1000s of people have in their homes? Wouldn't it be better to adorn your walls with one-of-a-kind images of your best friend?</span></p>

<h1 class="ql-align-desktop-center"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">About Carol</span></h1><p class="ql-paragraph-2 ql-align-desktop-center"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">﻿</span></p><p class="ql-paragraph-1">Carol Arscott is an internationally recognized, award-winning pet photographer based in Media, PA. Rescue is the cornerstone of Carol’s business. She has worked with more than a dozen organizations in the last nine years, volunteering her time to photograph the adoptable animals. She is now partnering with rescues throughout the United States to raise funds through photography projects. She also teaches photography classes and workshops, and offers one-on-one coaching. Carol has appeared on podcasts, in magazine articles, and was selected by 6 ABC as a Hometown Hero in 2023 for her rescue work. Carol received the Best of Delco award in 2022 and 2023, Best of Mainline in 2023 and 2024, and Best of Chester County in 2023. She earned a bronze medal in the International Pet Photographer of the Year competition in 2023. Carol has raised over $75,000 for rescues in the last two years.</p>

<h2><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">Why hire a pet photographer?</span></h2><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><br></p><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><span style="color: var(--secondary_paragraphs_color);">THEIR EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE MAKES A DIFFERENCE</span></p><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><br></p><p class="ql-paragraph-1">Most family photographers will take a few photos of your pet if you bring them along to a session, but they specialize in people, not pets. A pet photographer is specifically trained in animal body language, posing, and editing techniques that bring out the best in your pet. They know how to work with untrained (and sometimes unruly) animals. A pet photographer will get the perfect image even when you think the session was completely chaotic. They know how to grab an animal's attention and capture that award-winning look.</p>

<h2><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">What to Expect</span></h2><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">﻿</span></p><p class="ql-paragraph-1">Your session will be a fun playdate. Your pet will call the shots - whether they need time to sniff, have a snack, or take a potty break - we will go at their pace.</p><p class="ql-paragraph-1"><br></p><p class="ql-paragraph-1">If they are active, we'll do action shots. If they have a favorite toy, we'll incorporate it. And, of course, I always encourage the humans to jump in some of the photos.</p><p class="ql-paragraph-1"><br></p><p class="ql-paragraph-1">And don't worry if your dog can't be off leash. 99% of the dogs I photograph are leashed. Through the magic of Photoshop, I remove leashes and other distracting elements.</p>

<p class="ql-paragraph-1"><em>"Carol is SO talented. She first took end of life photos for my dog, Minnie. The photos were absolutely beautiful. She knew exactly how to make my dog comfortable so that her personality was able to be captured in a picture. She also took photos of my puppy, Hazel. The way she was able to make my crazy puppy stay still and get the most amazing pictures of her blew my mind! I cannot recommend Carol enough to anyone. If you want photos that truly capture your beloved pets' personality and love, book a session with Carol." - Victoria V.</em></p><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><br></p>

<p class="ql-paragraph-3"><span style="color: rgb(32, 33, 36);">"Carol was absolutely amazing with my dog capturing her in so many different ways. She knows exactly how to put the dog at ease and allow their natural personality to shine through. She is not only a great photographer, but also a generous human being that gives back to so many rescues. "</span></p>

<p class="ql-paragraph-3"><span style="color: rgb(32, 33, 36);">"Carol did a great job photographing our senior dog, Tator. He’s large, a little clumsy and deaf, but she still knew how to work with him and get his attention and the photos turned out amazing. She gave very clear communication from booking through the follow-up/ordering process, and we would absolutely go to her again for photos in the future."</span></p>

Carol is very talented and we thank her very much."</span></p>

<p class="ql-paragraph-2">Pets bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love into our lives, and professional photos are a beautiful way to capture those special moments. Whether it's their quirky expressions, playful energy, or the quiet bond you share, a professional photographer can preserve the personality and charm of your pet in a way that phone pictures just can't. These images become lasting memories, celebrating your pet's place in your family and giving you something to cherish long after the moment has passed. Every pet has a unique story, and a professional photographer helps tell it.</p>

<h1 class="ql-align-desktop-center"><span style="color: var(--primary_headings_color);">Because the best memories have paws</span></h1>

<h1 class="ql-align-desktop-center">No one has ever wished that they had fewer photos of their pet.</h1>

Your dog is charge of the session - when they need a break, a snack, a drink, or just some hugs, we stop until they are ready to resume. I give them time to adjust to the location and to me. I can also provide locations where we will not encounter other animals.</span></p><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><br></p><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><br></p><h3><span style="color: var(--secondary_headings_color);">I have a cat/bird/horse/other type of animal. does that mean I can't have a session?</span></h3><p><br></p><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><span style="color: var(--secondary_paragraphs_color);">Nope!
