Sarah McGraw Photography Pet Session
$1,000+
Pet portraiture has exploded in recent years, but Scottsdale shutterbug Sarah McGraw captures animals in their element –
often outdoors – instead of in a studio, so their personalities shine through. Sessions include a one- to two-hour shoot for one pet at one location in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, digital files, online gallery and custom mobile app. Gift cards available. sarahmcgrawphotography.com
