Yes, you will need an appointment for your Pet Portrait Session. We photograph pets at our Renton, Washington studio every Thursday.

However much you spend on your portraits will depend on what you fall in love with and at what scale you would like them printed.

We recommend budgeting for an art piece starting at $1000.

Yes, after your session you will have some free time to take your pet for a walk. About 15 minutes later, you will return to our studio to view and order images of your pet in full cinematic beauty. Here you will be able to order what you love.

We specialize in fine art canvas wall portraits, albums, and image boxes. Digital images are available with the purchase of wall art or other products.

We know things happen! Cancellations within 2 weeks will result in forfeiture of the booking fee. If we are able to fill your scheduled appointment, we are happy to refund or reschedule your session. If Ruth and Kate Portraits cancel the session, a full refund of the booking fee will be provided.

Every now and then, we host giveaway sessions as a special way to welcome new families to the studio community. At times, we’re moved by the stories of beloved pets who are growing older or are about to cross over the rainbow bridge.

These sessions aren’t a contest—they’re an open invitation with a generous gift included: a beautiful archival 10” fine art print, on us!

While we’d love to include everyone who applies, that just wouldn’t be practical. We do our best to select as many applicants as possible, making it a joyful experience for all involved.

We do require a refundable deposit fee to hold your date and time. Just like you, our time is valuable, and we have employees who are waiting and preparing for your visit.

Giveaway sessions also serve as a gentle reminder to celebrate the present and capture memories before it’s too late. It’s a chance to pause and appreciate the special bond you share with your pet, ensuring you have a timeless and tangible keepsakes to treasure forever. Time and again, our clients tell us how grateful they are for these sessions—there’s truly no love like the one you share with your pet, and these portraits help keep those memories close to your heart.
