Frequently Asked Questions

We are delighted you are interested in having your pet featured in our Paws Across San Diego coffee table book. Please review the FAQ's. If you have more questions, we're happy to assist.

What is included?

Our Signature Session at an iconic (or your favorite) San Diego area with all of our Signature Session perks listed below!

A dedicated page in our Paws Across San Diego coffee table book.

$150 print credit towards any print packages. Our print packages start at $400 for this project.

A $75 donation made in your pup's name to the San Diego Humane Society.

The opportunity to purchase Paws Across San Diego at cost or receive it for free with a qualifying print package purchase.

Every Signature Session with us includes:

•Pre-Session Consultation so we can determine the best location in San Diego, you can tell us all about your pup, and we can craft the perfect session for you. We have locations in mind, but would LOVE to hear your animal's favorite place to go!


•50-60 Minutes of Camera Time


•Portrait Reveal Celebration - view and choose your artwork on Zoom


•Complimentary artwork design using our software to show you your artwork in your own space. This is so cool & we can't wait for you to see this for yourself.

While your pet(s) will be the focus of the session, we would love for you to bring the whole family so we can update your family photos!

How many pets and people can I bring to my session?

Each household is limited to 3 pets. If you have 4 or 5 pets that are familiar with sit and stay, we might be able to make this work. Go ahead and apply and we'll see what we can do. I love a great challenge.

As far as people go, we would love to photograph your household. If you have a partner and/or kiddos we would love to have them come along. The focus will mainly be on the pets, but we would LOVE to do a family portrait for you as well.

What kind of animals are you photographing for this project.

Most of the photography will be done on location and outdoors, so pets that can be photographed in an outdoor location will be the primary subjects. We photograph a lot of dogs and that's great. If you have an adventure cat, a hiking goat or a beach friendly bird we would love to hear more about them to see if we could be a good fit to photograph them for this project.

Is this limited to rescue animals?

Our goal is to create a visually diverse coffee table book that resonates with many people. We welcome pets of all backgrounds, shapes, colors, and sizes to apply. If your animal is an animal we would love for you to apply.

What is the cost?

If selected for this opportunity, your session fee is $200, which is $100 less than our normal signature session. We are also donating $75 of your session fee to San Diego Humane Society and you'll receive $150 in print credit towards any print package purchase you choose to make.

After your session we will show you your images over Zoom during your Portrait Reveal Celebration and you can decide if there is something you can't live without. An artwork purchase is NOT required for your pet to appear in the book.

If you choose to invest in artwork of your pet, our print packages start at $400 (for this project) and can go up to $5,500 or more if you choose many pieces of large wall art. What you spend is up to you, and we are here to help you purchase the artwork you love without going over budget.

Who is the San Diego Humane Society and what is their mission?

San Diego Humane Society creates a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people across San Diego. While their influence is expanding nationally, their top priority is meeting the needs of San Diego. They provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all love.

How do you decide which pets get which locations? Do we need to have a location in mind?

We want to highlight everything amazing about San Diego in this book. We have places in mind but we would love to hear about your pet's favorite place. We'll also tailor your location to your pet's preferences. We want your pet to have an amazing time, so we'll find the perfect location for you to make sure your pet is their happiest!

I want my pet in the book. How do I make that happen?

Apply TODAY! We are only selecting a set number of applicants so the sooner you apply the higher you'll be on the list.

How can I get a copy of Paws Across San Diego?

Everyone selected for the project will be able to purchase a copy of the book at cost once it is completed. We are also gifting you a copy of the book with a qualifying print purchase of $800 or more. Our goal is to have it ready for delivery by Fall 2026.

My dog has already been in a Gretchen Otero Photography book. Can we be in this one too?

You are welcome to apply, but in the interest of keeping each book original and unique dogs featured in previous coffee table books are less likely to be chosen for this project.
