The Journey

Em is here to make the session process simple and enjoyable, right from your initial enquiry, through to the delivery of your artwork.

Step 1 | Enquiry

We start with a friendly call or email to understand what you’re after. We discuss your goals, decor style, and location preferences.
Step 2 | Booking

Simply choose one of the above sessions, then we lock in your date and choose a location that best suits your dog and your vision.
Step 3 | The session

We meet for an outdoor photoshoot, tailored to your dog’s energy and comfort. No pressure, just patience and love. Think of it as a dog walk with a few stops along the way for some photos. Em’s goal is to have both you and your dog leaving with a big smile on your faces from a fun and stress-free experience.
Step 4 | Reveal

Now for the best bit! We meet again, in person or online, to view your images and select your favourite wall art pieces, guided by mockups and samples. Don’t worry, Em will help you narrow down your favourites, it’s easier than you think.
Step 5 | Delivery

Em will pop through your artwork order with her carefully selected professional print lab here in NZ. The lab will print and frame the artwork to the highest standards. They then package the artwork and carefully deliver it to Em in Upper Hutt.
Em will check everything over and then your artwork is hand-delivered or couriered to you, ready to hang and display.

Premium wall art.

The Signature Float Tray

Not all canvases are created equal. Our framed canvas trays are crafted to the highest standard, with exceptional print quality that captures every detail of your favourite image. Printed on beautifully textured canvas, each piece is set within a deep tray-style frame that gives the artwork a gentle, floating effect. The result is a painterly, gallery-style piece that suits both modern minimalism and timeless interiors whether featured as a single statement or part of a curated collection.
The Fine Art Frame

These framed fine art prints are museum-grade, printed on 100% cotton rag paper with a luxurious matte finish. Each piece is custom-framed with your choice of timeless woods or modern profiles to suit your space. These are the statement pieces that bring your dog’s story into your living room.
Popular For: Wall gallery sets or single standouts pieces.
The Artisan Edge Frame

The most exclusive offering! For the art collector, these fine art prints feature hand-torn edges, float-mounted behind glass to highlight every beautiful texture of the 100% cotton rag paper. Set in a black frame with a black mat, the white deckled edge appears to float, adding striking contrast and depth.
Matted Keepsakes

Printed on archival 100% cotton fine art paper and professionally matted to 11x14, these prints are ready to frame, gift, or display.
There are two matted print sets to choose from: a set of 5 prints with a handcrafted wooden display stand, or, a set of 10 in a premium folio box.
