THE TIPPY TAPS APPROACH

Real joy happens at home.
And it happens with you.

We don’t do stiff poses or stressful studio environments. Our mobile studio comes to you, where your dog can relax and show the expressions only you know how to bring out.

Every session is shaped around your dog’s own character—not a fixed pose. We switch between bold backdrops, playful prompts and plenty of breaks to capture the expressions you recognize instantly.

The result is a gallery that feels joyful, graphic and unmistakably yours: portraits made to live on your walls, not disappear in your camera roll.

01

Joyful Colours

02

100% Mobile

No stressful car rides. Your dog stays comfortable in their own familiar space.

Real Teamwork

Nobody makes your dog smile like you do. We work together to capture their true personality.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions.

How do I book a session?

Booking is simple — just scan our QR code or visit our website to lock in your shooting date with a $100 deposit. Our calendar opens one month in advance. Within 24 hours of booking, we'll reach out so you can customize your session by choosing your backdrop colour and favourite prop style: birthday, seasonal, or clean and simple. On shoot day, we come to you. We'll set up our mobile studio right in your home and capture beautiful photos at your dog's pace. You'll only pay the remaining balance once the shoot is complete.

How much space do I need in my house?

Just a clear 10 × 10 ft space inside your home — your living room, garage, or shed all work great. The only requirement is that it needs to be indoors, as our mobile studio setup isn't suited for outdoor shoots.

What about if my dog is shy or reactive?

Don't worry! We are incredibly patient, bring plenty of treats, and let your dog set the pace. If they just aren't feeling it, you can reschedule for free or cancel; only the deposit is non-refundable.

Can I be in the photos?

Yes! One or two of your included photos in the package can absolutely feature you with your pup.

Can I add another dog?

Yes. A second dog can join the session for $80.

Can I purchase additional photos beyond what's included in The Joyful Package?

Of course! If you fall in love with more portraits, you can purchase additional edited images for $40 each.

Do you travel outside of Calgary?

We do! We love a good road trip. Get in touch by Instagram DM or email, and we'll see what we can make happen.

How do I reschedule my session?

Simply let us know at least 48 hours before your appointment, and we'll be happy to help you find a new date.
