Maternity Leave FAQs

Thank you for your interest in Barking Dog Images! I have currently stepped away from my business to grow my family. I cannot wait to be back to capturing your incredible dogs again, but in the meantime, here are some frequently asked questions about this season of life.

Well, the thing about babies is that they are unpredictable! I will be tentatively starting my leave on March 10th.

Yes! I (Nadia) personally will not be attending the event, but my trusted team will be covering the show, posting the photos, and fulfilling orders as usual. Details will be posted closer to the end of February.

Sorry, no. Photographing dogs is a physically taxing job and I am not currently taking on clients, nor can I predict when I will be back to working. Thank you for understanding!

Kind of. Orders will be limited to instant download, web-sized photos from past events. All store options will be available for a set time limit from the 1-TDC UKI Invitational only, so that a team member can fulfill those orders while they have access to the files.

Response times, from either myself or a trusted team member, will be slower than usual. Emails will be answered when able. For urgent matters, please include “URGENT” in the subject line.

The current ordering deadline is March 1st. After that, you may order via email – with the grace, patience, and understanding that I am balancing recovery and motherhood. Feel free to reach out and we can decide together if I am able to take on the editing work.

If only a Magic 8 Ball could predict newborn sleep schedules! I’ll share more updates once I know more about how our new tiny boss will run the household.

While I am usually generous in my donations, it currently does not make sense for me to donate given I am not working while on leave. Best of luck with your fundraising efforts!
