Mini Dog Photography Sessions
Tails of the World Fundraiser to Help Pets in Need
~~
DOGS of TORONTO and the GTA, WE NEED YOU!
WHO IS IT?
Tails of the World™ is a collaborative project from pet photographers all around the globe. We are united in our mission to make a difference for animals in need.
To date, the annual Tails of the World books have featured over 1150 dogs and raised over CAD130,000! In 2022 I raised $1000 for a local animal rescue organization and with your help, would love to do it again.
I am again participating in the project for 2024, doing photoshoots of your dogs to be featured in TAILS OF THE WORLD
One big, beautiful coffee table book featuring stunning pet portraiture from artists all around the globe.
100% of the session fees and book sale proceeds will donated to animal rescue charities.
WHAT IS IT?
Join the Tails of the World movement!
With your $100 session fee donated to Just Paws Animal Rescue, you will receive a custom on-location photoshoot with Terri J Photography AND one image from each session will be included in the Tails of the World Book.
You’ll also receive the high resolution digital file of the image chosen for the book PLUS a $25 credit to spend on additional digital photos, printed products such as a gorgeous lay flat photo book, desk displays, framed prints and more.
Terri J Photography is now taking applications for limited edition Tails of the World custom on-location photoshoots.
For 2024 we are representing Toronto’s East end/Scarborough with three awesome locations, but of course you can join us from anywhere!

THE FUNDRAISER
The Tails of the World project is a two part fundraiser: donation of the book sales AND local donation of the mini session fees. With these combined efforts, our vision is to collectively support animal rescue all around the world.
THE MINI SESSIONS
Each featured photographer of the Tails of the World project will be donating their mini session fees. I have chosen Just Paws Animal Rescue, a Toronto based not-for-profit, volunteer run organization as my charity of choice. Just Paws Animal Rescue works diligently to rescue animals that are in high kill shelters, abandoned, abused, or unloved. 100% of the proceeds of the session fees will be donated to Just Paws.
THE BOOK SALES
100% of the proceeds from the book sales of Tails of the World, Volume 3 are donated to Geelong Animal Welfare Society.
Session fees fundraised by photographers are all donated to local animal rescue charities around the world.
With these combined efforts, our vision is to collectively support animal rescue all around the world.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Glad you asked. As the name implies, it is a pet portrait session, just, well, mini 🙂.
There are, of course, other key differences between a Mini and a Signature session.
Please read on below.
SESSION LENGTH
– Probably the most obvious difference, each mini session lasts about 20 minutes and is photographed at only one or two spots/backgrounds.
NUMBER OF PEOPLE & DOGS
_ Due to the limited time set aside for each session, a maximum of 2 dogs and 2 family members family per session. If you have more than 2 dogs please sign up for 2 sessions
NUMBER OF IMAGES
– Seems like a no brainer, but with a shorter session, there will be fewer images to select from (between 12-15).
-
Sessions are limited to 2 dogs. Unfortunately the time allotted for a mini session is not sufficient to photograph more than 2 dogs and their people. Please book 2 sessions if you have more than 2 dogs.
-
Yes of course! I will spend half the time taking photos of your dog alone as that is what is required for the Tails of the World book, and the remainder of the time photographing you with your dog so you will have great dog and family photos. Mini sessions are suitable for a maximum of 2 family members.
-
Yes ! Additional digital photos and printed products such as photo books, desk displays, wall art or prints, will be available to purchase in an on-line gallery.
-
Yes. The book is not included with your session but will be available to purchase in April of 2023
-
Yes that would be wonderful. Simply add as much as you want to the $100 session fee and everything collected will be donated to Just Paws Animal Rescue
-
There really are a lot of reasons that a mini session might be a good fit for your pet and family, as opposed to a Full Session. Below are just a few of the possible scenarios.
You’ve recently had pet and people photos taken and just need a quick update.
You’ve never had a photo session before and are looking to try it out.
You want the premium Terri J Photography quality but are looking for just a few photos, perhaps for holiday cards, a desk display or social media sharing.
You’ve been hoping to work with me but a full Session is just outside the budget right now.
You are keen to help animals in need
Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions!
