What’s with the giveaway sessions? Is it a contest? Does everyone win?

From time to time we offer giveaway sessions to invite people to the studio and give them a gift to do so. Sometimes we’re looking to update studio artwork, sometimes it’s a heartfelt response to so many older pets passing too soon, other times we’re in the mood for puppies, all the puppies all the time because who doesn’t love them??

  • It’s not a contest, it’s an invitation to the studio with a gift that fully covers a gorgeous archival 14” fine art print.

  • Not everyone who applies gets to have a session, because that would be nuts, but we do our best to gift as many people as we’re able to. It’s a win win all around, and everyone loves these sessions :)

  • Offering giveaway sessions helps people think about things that often get put off. No one wants to think about how one day their pet will pass on, and this helps people cherish them and avoid future regret. Without fail people are SO glad they did this, because there is no truer love than that with your pet, and this is how you get to keep them with you always.


Why do you require a deposit for Giveaway Sessions?

We’re only able to schedule these special sessions as our calendar allows, and only have a limited number of these appointments we can offer. By asking for a deposit, we make sure this one-of-a-kind experience goes to people who are truly invested in beautiful artwork of their cherished pet. The good news for you is, our Giveaway Session deposit is fully refundable and only $199 (our regular session fee is $300). It’s refunded at your portrait selection appointment, or you can use it as a credit towards your artwork. Easy peasy.

 

How long will my session take?

  • Portrait Sessions are scheduled on the hour and take 30-40 minutes.

  • Art Selection Appointments take place via Zoom, and are anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and half depending on your decision making process.

What should I wear?

  • Clothing should be coordinated with the colors of your pet. If your pet is black, black clothing should be avoided so they don’t l blend in too much.

  • Light colors and patterns can be distracting and should be avoided. Darker neutrals look best, think elegant, timeless and simple to make your pet the star :)

 
 

What happens if I’m late for my portrait session?

We do our best to be understanding, but being more than 10 minutes late means having to reschedule your session and forfeiting the booking deposit, which is the worst!

  • To protect against being late, arrive 15 minutes early to give your pet a chance to chill out, walk around after the car ride, and go potty before the session.

  • The studio doors are locked when in session to prevent unfamiliar pet interactions. The door will be opened for you right at your appointment time, after the coast is clear.

 

What if I need to reschedule?

  • Sessions can be rescheduled with 2 weeks notice to give us a chance to rebook the appointment, reschedules without the 2 weeks will forfeit the booking deposit. There are no refunds for permanently cancelled appointments.

 

How much will this cost?

  • It all depends on the kind of impact you want your artwork to be able to have. We’re known for creating timeless fine art as stunning home decor, and most people are thrilled to invest in significant wall art for their home. It’s what people come to us for. But, you could also choose a modest display of desk prints if that suits you best. Totally up to you!

  • Artwork begins at $500 for our beginning size, with our largest and most impactful portraits (as big as your couch) for $10,000.  Most find themselves somewhere in between; you’ll get to choose whatever you fall in love with, as much or as little as you like.

  • Portrait collection pricing is unique to each client depending on what they love, which is why a standard price list isn’t offered; it wouldn’t accurately reflect the particular collection and discounts put together for you. The price range is $500 to $10,000, and collections always include discounts for bundling, which means there’s something for everybody. We support every budget, and comfortable payment plans and in-house financing are happily offered. We believe a home hugs you back when love is on your walls, and we do everything we can to help make that happen.

  • Giveaway Sessions don’t require any kind of purchase, you can choose just your 14” print as our gift to you at no cost.

 

Can I get digital files?

As a fine art portrait studio specializing in timeless fine art, digital files are only available with the purchase of wall art or image box collections. Instead of a fleeting digital moment, we focus on art that elevates the entire home and has the power to completely transform the space where it’s displayed.

We can’t wait to have you and your furry best friend at the studio and join the SPP fur baby family!
