Whether you prefer classic portraits or fun treat-catching shots, this session has you covered. Join me at my cosy home studio in Melksham, where we’ll help your dog settle in before we start. Don’t forget to bring their favorite treats, toys, or any props and outfits you’d like included. Check out my social media to see more adorable photos!

Backdrop Changes
During your session, we can take a short break and change the backdrop colour to increase the variety of photos within your final gallery.
Endless treats
Bring plenty of treats - when I say lots, I mean lots! Don’t worry if you run out; I always have a backup stash to keep the session going smoothly.
Bring your props

Exclusive product deals
During your private viewing session, explore and feel the products on offer while enjoying exclusive deals and bundles available that day.
You can decide whether to focus on classic portraits or fun treat-catching shots during your session. If your dog feels shy or isn’t into treat-catching on the day, we’ll switch to classic photos to ensure you still get amazing results. If you’d like to include more than one dog, just let me know, and we can plan the best way to accommodate your pack! A £50 deposit secures your chosen date, with the remaining balance due 24 hours before the session. Alternatively, you can pay in full when booking. Only the products specified in the photoshoot are included, and images will be available to purchase for 6 months after your gallery viewing. After this period, a fee will apply to reaccess your gallery.

Frequently asked questions
Honestly, not that well trained. A few moves such as sit and down are handy so that the pictures are a little more varied, however, a loose stay isn’t essential, and we can use leads if needed too. If you’re worried, feel free to send me a message and we can have a more in-depth chat about your concerns. Remember, a picture freezes a moment in time and therefore if a few seconds of stillness is all we can manage, that is still plenty of time to snap a beautiful photo.
If you’d like to have a full photoshoot done with multiple dogs, there won’t be enough time in the studio session advertised. However, I am more than happy to discuss a bespoke session with you to allow time to photograph all your dogs and give them each the time they need in the limelight to achieve stunning results for everyone involved. Please send me a message to discuss this matter further. For larger packs, it might be easier for me to bring my studio to your home (it’s fully portable!) so you don’t need to leave your dogs in the car when it’s not their turn – the studio would be too small for all the dogs to wait in at once.
Of course! In fact, this can be a lovely touch to a session as well. If you’re a bit on the fence about whether you want to hop in for some, come dressed as if you will and then you can see how you feel in the moment.
My studio set up is 100% portable and we don’t need loads of space for me to set it up either. So if you feel your dog would be more comfortable in familiar surroundings I can come to you. Just let me know when booking.
Despite dogs being the bulk of my portfolio, I am more than happy to also give other pets a try! I have popped my kitten in the studio previously and did get some gorgeous shots of him. Feel free to message me with your enquiry and we can have a chat.
The ideal scenario is to position you dog on the backdrop, ask them to stay and move you behind me so they look directly in the camera. Therefore, ahead of your session, it could be a good idea to brush up on your sit stays and maybe polish up some tricks such as beg or paw. When doing the sit stays, I would suggest practising asking them to sit, moving a few meters away and making some silly noises to see if they can stay still whilst random things are going on. Don’t stress too much if the pre-shoot practise isn’t perfect, sometimes all we need is a few seconds of still to get a cracking shot.
The photoshoot itself is just the beginning. After your session, I will start to narrow down the images to 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.
