For an initial consultation about a photoshoot, complete the form on my contact page and we can arrange a suitable time for a telephone call and we can discuss where and when you might like your photoshoot and the portraits of your dog you have in mind.
Once we've booked your photoshoot and a date has been set, we will meet on the day, where I will spend time getting to know your dog and introduce my camera equipment to them. This ensures that they are at ease with me before we start the photoshoot, which usually lasts between 1 and 2 hours (although there really is no time limit). During this time I will capture a number of action and portrait images needed to achieve that all important brief.
I prefer to​​ come to a location which you and your dog are familiar with so that everyone feels comfortable with their surroundings therefore making the whole experience enjoyable and fun for everyone. If you’re unsure of where you might like your photoshoot to take place I know of some beautiful locations which I’m happy to suggest should you wish me to.​.
What happens after the photoshoot?
You will receive your edited images 1 to 2 weeks after your session via an on-line private gallery.
​
I’m available to arrange an In-person reveal session where I can help you decide how to showcase your precious images. All with-in the comfort of your own home.

FAQ's
My dog can't be off the lead. Please don't worry if your dog cannot be off the lead as with my editing process I can remove the lead and you'd never know it was there. If you have a long line, then this can always be used for any action shots you'd like.
My dog isn't well behaved or good with other dogs. That is absolutely fine, because not every dogs wants to sit, stay or lay down when we ask them, and if your dog is anxious, nervous, or doesn't get on with other dogs that's ok too. We can still have fun and make it an enjoyable experience, whether it's at a quiet location or a dog friendly field.
I own more than two dogs, can they be included in the session. Yes of course. If you have more than two dogs I ask an additional fee of £20 per dog. They must be owned by you and part of our pack, with suitable handlers for your dogs. It's also important to remember that for your photoshoot to be relaxed and fun we want the dogs to be as calm as possible and not over excited by too many distractions from other dogs or people around them.
Can my family or I be part of the photoshoot. Absolutely yes, of course you and your family can join in. I love capturing the bond people have with their pets and what better way of capturing it than having you as part of the experience.
What of the weather forecast isn't good? Should the forecast look like rain we may need to re-schedule as it will be hard to get those perfect images . Again if the forecast is set to be very hot, we may need to re-schedule the photoshoot as the welfare of your dog is paramount and I wouldn't want a dog to get over heated.
