Dog Photoshoots
A dog photoshoot is a great way to capture your pup’s unique personality at your favourite walking spot or a nearby dog-friendly park. Whether you want posed shots or fast action moments, I can tailor the session to suit your needs. Just bring along their favourite treat or toy! The session is fun and relaxed, with plenty of time to find the perfect locations. I’ll guide you on the best poses and make sure your dog enjoys the day too.

Frequently asked questions
The most popular choice for dog photoshoots is your favourite walking location, with lots of picture opportunities. Thankfully it is simple enough to pop your dog(s) in the car and head to a destination of your choice. If you have a slightly more anxious dog or worry about letting your dog run in open spaces, I would highly recommend checking out secure dog walking fields. They usually cost under £20 per hour and you get exclusive hire of a secure field, so there is no risk of bumping into other dogs or losing your dog if they head off on an adventure alone. If you’d like some suggestions based on where I have been before, just give me a message.
Not at all. Some people would like to be included in the photoshoot, and others let the limelight be on their four-legged friend. However, if you’re worried because you don’t think you photograph well, I would suggest putting something smarter on and joining in for a little bit. Having photos taken with your dog(s) is totally different to having your photo taken in a studio or at a family meal. They provide a relaxing distraction and are something you can interact with.
I would suggest either giving your dog a good blast in the morning (if your session is later in the day) or arriving a little earlier to allow your dog to run off some initial steam and explore the location. Therefore, when I arrive and we are ready to begin, your dog will have calmed down a little bit and be ready to focus.
Treats! Lots of them! It’s surprising how many times people forget to pick up some treats before they leave home. I would also suggest buying some treats which they don’t usually have so you are more exciting for them during the photoshoot. If your dog also loves to play with toys, I would bring along their favourite one. Don’t forget to also put on your dog’s smartest collar. I would suggest avoiding harnesses for photos because they aren’t terribly pretty and bring along a thin lead (extendable ones are good) so that if we need to pop one on for some photos, I can remove it fairly easily afterwards.
Not at all. I would firstly suggest that you consider hiring a secure dog field as this may help you feel more comfortable letting your dog off the lead, as there are no distractions or escape routes. But if they are just not going to listen to you of a lead, be sure to bring along the thinnest lead you have (extendable leads are good) and we can edit the lead out afterwards and no one will ever know.
In short, we will reschedule! I appreciate that no one fancies getting drenched during a photoshoot and the British weather can be unpredictable. If the forecast is dry, cloudy or sunny, I will advise we stick with the plan and go ahead. But if it looks like a washout, I will discuss moving to a new date or time. I usually book one session per day so we can move the photoshoot to a different time if the weather turns – e.g. the morning might look drier than the afternoon.
The photoshoot itself is just the beginning. After your session, I will head home and start to narrow down the hundreds of images to just the best of the best. Once I have the final photos selected, it’s time to get to work with editing each photo, which I feel is just as important as taking the photos. This process can take anything from 2-4 weeks depending on the time of year. I will let you know at the photoshoot my current turnaround time. Once ready, we will book you in for a private viewing session to unveil your stunning photos on the big screen. You will be able to purchase extra photos during the viewing with access to an exclusive price list.
From the date of the viewing session, you will have up to 6 months to purchase any photos you’d like. During the viewing session you will get access to some extra bundles and deals, which are available on that day only. A different, more basic, price list is available for additional purchases within the remaining 6 months. Due to website storage fees, I cannot keep photos online for longer than this and there will be a reaccess fee if you wish to view them at a later date.
I offer a variety of different products, including digital copies, wooden framed prints, canvases, photobooks and much more. Please get in touch to be sent my current photoshoot product price list.
