Studio Portrait Session

Welcome to the studio! This is where all the Jason KB Photo magic happens!  Our brand new studio is specially designed to meet the unique requirements of photographing animals.  The studio is equipped with animal-friendly flooring and backdrops, the latest super-rapid lighting equipment, and, of course, a huge array of toys and treats to keep your animal happy while in front of the camera.

During all portrait sessions, Angus (the studio manager and resident animal handler) and clients work together to elicit a large variety of classic and modern poses from the animals.  Angus can coax even the most timid of animals to ‘smile’ for the camera using positive reinforcement and an endless reserve of patience.

A typical portrait session lasts between two and three hours.  During this time, Jason uses a variety of lighting setups to highlight different features of his subjects.  Clients follow the progress of the session on an adjacent monitor that displays images as they are captured.  Clients provide feedback throughout the session to ensure that the images being captured truly reflect the unique characteristics of their companion.  A delicious spread of snacks and beverages is always on hand to keep energy high throughout the portrait session.  After all, it’s not just the animals that are working hard!

If an animal is not able to travel to the studio, we will happily setup a mobile studio where possible.  This is particularly helpful when shooting large animals that can’t fit in the studio (e.g. horses) or when shooting animals that don’t like to leave the comfort of their home (e.g. cats).
