HOW WE WORK
Let's not sugar coat it...this photographic experience is nothing like the traditional photography experience many of us have come to expect. FUREVER USA offers an immersive experience which begins the moment you discover the FUREVER USA brand and continues all the way through our annual book launch party at the end of the year. We promise, absolutely no sugar or artificial sweeteners here, we swear...it's something you HAVE TO experience...but we're going to do our best to answer any and all questions you might have here.
THE FUREVER EXPERIENCE
1) Schedule
- book your session-
Fill out the form on our contact page and we will call you during our next business hours to schedule your experience with one of our award winning photographers!
We have 3 different booking collections starting at $100 to get you started with your experience and secure your time with one of our studios. Your scheduling consultant can help you decide which one is best.
Our typical studio sessions are available from Monday - Friday at 10am and 1:30pm. Your photography and reveal sessions are on the same day for your convenience and include a 1 hour break in-between.
Sessions are by appointment only. Terms and conditions may apply at booking.
2) discovery
- before the camera -
About two weeks before your experience one of our team members will reach out to you and spend 15-20 minutes discovering what you love most about your fur-family!
During your call we’ll also answer any questions about products and help you discover the most meaningful locations to display your products.
If you would like your story to be considered for a feature on our blog, or in our yearly coffee table book project, we will send you a link after your discovery call, were you may write & submit your story for consideration.
J. Waalk's testimony"I am so glad we did it because we lost Emma this past September. We have such great pictures of her, Charlie and are so thankful we did this. If you want great photos of your adopted pet, book and go enjoy it - you will have no regrets."3) photography
- IN STUDIO experience -
You'll get to celebrate and shower your fur-children with love with an award winning photographer at one of our FUREVER USA partner studios!
When you arrive for your session, the first thing we’ll do is give your dog time to investigate and warm up to the new setting and new people.
It is important to us to capture your dog’s true personality and the authenticity of your bond. Throughout your session, we’ll let you play, cuddle, and hang out like you normally would at home. We’ll be right alongside you, photographing the moments you love so much.
Photographing your fur-family takes between 45-60 min. Your in-studio Photography Experience and Reveal are done the same day with an hour break in-between.
4) reveal & design consutation
- DESIGN & ORDERING EXPERIENCE -
Your cinematic reveal & design session is scheduled to be the same day as your photography session. Shortly after your shoot, you will return to our studio where you can see your artwork come to life in front of you on the big screen.
We have a wide range of museum quality pieces, all hand printed in Italy with the highest quality of craftsmanship. You will have a chance to see, feel and hold samples of our fine art products, including FUREVER prints, Legacy Albums, Portrait Boxes, and our premium finish Wall Collections.
All orders are taken at the design appointment with a production time of 2-6 weeks for our production team to create your finished products. They are then checked for imperfections and are ready for pickup.
5) Delivery
- holding your artwork -
Your portraits will be available for pickup in your local studio within approximately 2-6 weeks of your order date.
One of our staff members will reach out to you via phone call or email to let you know when your order is ready.
N. Lee's testimony"I'm teary eyed as I reflect on our session while writing this review because the essence of my dog children was captured so perfectly. If you want the love, life, and spirit of your beloved fur baby to last long after they cross the Rainbow Bridge, then visit Furever."6) Display
- YOUR living space -
All of your portraits will come ready to hang! Now, you’ll get to walk in the door every day and see the love of your life and the bond you share prominently on display in your home.
Your friends, family, and guests will get to see your family the way you see them every day! Our clients have found that their portraits are great conversation starters for sharing the joys of life with a dog.
7) impact
- YOUR COMMUNITY -
Our mission is to end the stigma of rescue animals as family members. We do this, in part, by donating 5% of proceeds from fine art purchases directly to that cause.
We also share select stories and photographs with the animal welfare community by gifting many of the stories and photographs back to shelters where so many of the stories began. They can use these photographs in their own marketing and community outreach programs!
At the end of each year we create a coffee table book that features select stories of rescue dog families. This book not only celebrates rescue relationships, but 100% of the profits from the sale of the books go directly back to causes and projects whose focus is to end the stigma of rescue animals across the United States.
8) REVIEWS
We had the most amazing experience with Fureverreno with our girl, Gabby!
They made her feel at ease which we can tell you, is not something that comes easily for when around strangers. They are they most heartwarming and amazing people to work with!
I tend to hide things pretty well, but honestly after the photo shoot with Christy Arias and Furever USA this morning I couldn't. Going over the photos she took with her husband and Mitchel tears started to come down my face. When I lost Copper almost 2 years ago, he was the last remaining part of a chapter in my life. Copper kept me going when I wanted to give up. Losing him I felt I lost that light. Then Apollo showed up, in all his beastly happiness. He walked through my front door as if he already lived there. Mitchel and I were still fresh in our relationship and I will never forget when he came over and this big black, wiggly dog came running up to him. You could feel the cracks starting to mend, and the light returning. We became more and more a family. While Christy was taking photos and having fun I was just taking it all in, watching like I always do. She was truly capturing how my family has become whole. Something I didn't think could happen, but there it was the broken pieces finally mended. Christy and Furever we can't and I can't Thank You enough. You greeted us with the warmest of welcomes. Listening and learning about Apollo's story. This is experience is something we will not forget. Even while reviewing all the photos, her husband was so funny and sweet. Helping us in this experience, the viewing room again welcoming and comfortable. Furever is on a mission to help change the stigma of rescues, that they are all not broken and beyond repair. Well we can say this, our rescue, our happy wiggly lab mended us and brought a new blended family together. For that we will forever be grateful.
I heard about this project from a friend/local rescue and booked immediately. The experience was such a great day and we had so much fun in November 2017. I booked specifically because our dog Emma was 12 and I didn't know how much longer she would be with us. Christy Arias is an amazing photographer and we got such great photos. I don't know how we were able to narrow it down.
The finished product was amazing and I am so glad we did it because we lost Emma this past September. We have such great pictures of her, Charlie and are so thankful we did this. If you want great photos of your adopted pet, book and go enjoy it - you will have no regrets. We got our finished product and the books right before Christmas and now we have wonderful pictures of us with our dogs. Even though she is gone, we have memories that will last forever!!!
Do this. It is so worth it!!!
Loved meeting Christy and Jasen, their kids and dogs at Bar K Dog Bar last night. Living and breathing the rescue story!!
Such a awesome experience @Furever Reno 🖤🖤
Thank you so much for capturing the uniqueness of each of my dogs Klyde, Dihla, Dany & Coco!
The pictures are amazing, beautiful & one of a kind! Can't wait for the book and to frame the ones we bought! You all are amazing!
I loved getting our sweet rescue dogs photographed by such a wonderful company. The experience was amazing and the photos turned out beautifully. They also helped place a foster dog I had into a perfect home. The whole staff were caring, kind and enjoyable to be around. This was a decision I am glad I made!
What I like/love about Furever Reno/USA is the loving care everyone there has for the project. . . . and the animals and their humans! The photography is world class and the book they produce annually is also totally world class. I have a hunch, this will soon be Furever World!!
It was so amazing to capture the love between my daughter and her Jack! And now we have those memories for a lifetime--the book is so beautiful and incredibly special! It was her favorite Christmas present!!
We had the BEST experience with Furever Reno! They made us and our dogs feel so comfortable and welcome during our shoot. We shot for about an hour and the dogs had so much fun showing off for the camera. Then while the photos were being edited, we went and got hot chocolate around the corner, compliments of Furever! After that we can back to check out our photos and WOW! We could not be happier with the photos! We had about 60 to choose from, which was nearly impossible considering they were all perfect. We spent some time picking out our favorites and walked away with 16 absolutely incredible photos. We could not give Furever Reno a higher endorsement. SO GREAT!
Our experience was great. The staff was very friendly and caring. Christy was so nice and she takes such great photos! I would definitely recommend Furever❤️
