The cost of a luxury dog photoshoot with Classico Portraits in Monaco, St. Tropez, Provence or Tuscany depends on how many images you love, and how you’d like to enjoy them.

The reservation fee is €3750. This includes 20 master files but most clients spend beyond that for framed artwork and albums and can go into the five figures.

We’ll provide an accurate quote for your bespoke pet photoshoot during your consultation before paying the reservation fee.

Our Monaco pet portraits are unique due to our personalized, white-glove service designed with your expectations in mind.

We focus on capturing your dog’s individual personality and the special bond you share.

Our luxury dog photoshoots incorporate Monaco’s stunning Riviera light and iconic locations, or private spaces like your boat or home, ensuring timeless, fine art pet portraits that reflect both your lifestyle and your dog’s character.

We service the entire French Riviera and Monaco, as well as all of Europe.

Monaco offers a wide range of breathtaking locations for luxury pet portraits. Whether it’s your private apartment or yacht, scenic coastal walks, or iconic spots like Monte Carlo and Port Hercule, we’ll carefully select the ideal backdrop for your dog photoshoot, taking into account your dog’s personality and the vision you have for your photos.

For pet portraits in St. Tropez we will include your favourite spots- perhaps your villa in Ramatuelle, your preferred Club at Pampelonne Beach or heading over to Cap du Pinet for a more natural backdrop.

A dog photography session with us typically lasts 2-3 hours, depending on travel time between locations, your dog’s temperament and the time needed to capture the perfect shots.

However, we offer unlimited time to ensure a relaxed pace, giving your dog ample time to shine in the best Riviera light without feeling rushed

To ensure the best lighting and weather for your luxury outdoor dog photoshoot on the Riviera, we schedule sessions during select seasons.

We generally avoid summer’s intense heat, preferring sunrise or sunset for the most flattering natural light.

Absolutely!

We are happy to accommodate photoshoots for multiple dogs, cats and even horses!

Each pet’s unique personality will be captured in a way that reflects the bond they share with you.

Please let us know when booking so we can tailor your session to meet the needs of your furry family members.

We take a calm, patient, and intuitive approach to make your dog feel safe and relaxed.

We start by choosing an appropriate location for them, and then we use plenty of toys, treats and cuddles to ensure it’s fun for them!

If needed, they can stay on the lead and when it makes sense, we’ll remove it in photoshop!

Not at all! We can use a leash to ensure your dog’s safety, and with a little Photoshop magic, we’ll ensure the leash isn’t visible in your final portraits unless it makes sense (like the walking photos).

With over a decade of experience, I’m confident in handling various behavioral concerns and special needs.

We’ll discuss this in detail prior to booking to ensure that everyone, including your dog, will be safe.

While it’s not required, we encourage it!

Having a portrait with your dog highlights the beautiful connection you share, and we believe it’s a wonderful way to capture the love between you two in a timeless piece of art.

You’ll need to have their collar and lead, and a harness if used for walking.

Please also bring water for them and you!

We also recommend bringing a small towel, their brush (breed dependant), and their favourite treats (although we’ll also have some with us).

We’ll discuss what you should wear during the call.

After the session, we’ll arrange an exclusive reveal in your home, where you can view your portraits and decide on artwork options like heirloom albums and wall portraits.

You’ll also get to see how your photos will look displayed on your walls before finalizing your custom order.

While we specialize in printed art, including fine art albums and wall pieces, you’ll receive twenty master digital images as part of your booking fee and you can always purchase more should you wish for your design to organise the printing.

Yes, while we specialize in dog portraits, we can also photograph cats, small pets and even equine shoots in Provence and the Riviera. Please contact us to discuss your pet’s needs and create a personalized photoshoot experience.

We understand the need for privacy, especially for clients in the public eye.

If you require complete discretion, we are happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or confidentiality agreement upon request.

This ensures your privacy throughout the process.
