Artistic Pet Portraits
The Process
Inquiry
Congratulations on taking the first step! You’ve reached out because you want memorable images of your best friend, and now the excitement begins. I’ll delve into learning all about your furry companion – their temperament, needs, any concerns you may have, and your location preferences. Based on this information, I’ll recommend a few locations perfectly suited to bring your vision to life!
Shooting Day
During your shoot, we’ll meet at the chosen location. Your dog gets to sniff and explore until you’re both relaxed. I’ll guide you through easy prompts for running, playing, and posing, using treats or toys as rewards. Your dog can stay leashed throughout the session! I prioritise you and your dog’s comfort, ensuring a happy experience for both of you.
Choose your Images
Within a week of your shoot, you’ll receive the full gallery of our photoshoot. Here, you can select your absolute favourites for editing on an easy to use online platform. Plus, you’ll have the option to purchase additional images if you’d like.
Delivery Day
The day you’ve eagerly awaited is finally here! You’ve seen the raw images, but today marks the moment you receive an email granting access to your exclusive, fully edited, and stunning online gallery. From there, you can download the gallery or easily share it with friends and family. If you’re considering printed products, now’s the time to discuss options. We’ll ensure you get top-quality professional prints!

Frequently asked questions
Not to worry! We work with treats to gain your dog’s trust and make him feel as comfortable as possible.
My remote locations and shooting times will generally lead to a quiet and easy going environment for your dog without many triggers around. We also don’t expect them to be let off leash at any time. Please make sure that your dog wears a low profile collar instead of a harness, making it easy to remove in photoshop later on. If he needs to wear a harness to get to location, swap it out for a collar once we get there.
We will shoot come sunshine or stormy weather!
However, if we are experiencing severe weather resulting in unsafe or unsatisfactory shooting conditions, we will reschedule your shoot to the next available booking date at no additional charge.
Have a look at my handy prep guide for tips and tricks on what to wear, what to bring and how to prepare for your photoshoot.
Most importantly, please make sure you have water, his favourite treats, waste bags and a collar for your dog. If he needs to wear a harness to get to location, swap it out for a collar once we get there.
Unfortunately not. It is beyond the scope of what I can provide in the limited amount of time we have allocated for each session to include multiple people/dogs. Please book the correct type of session for the amount of people/dogs you are looking to include.
After the shoot, your proofing gallery will be ready within the first 7 days in the form of an online gallery. Here you can pick your favorite images with the option to purchase additional photos.
Once chosen, your photos will be edited which can take anywhere between 2-4 weeks, depending on current work load. You will be given a new online gallery for you to download and share your photos with friends and family. Complimentary shoots or Model Calls may have a longer turn-around time.
You will receive fully edited High resolution JPG images as a download, as well as social media files for sharing online. I do not release un-edited photos or RAW images.
Booking a shoot with me will include photos for private use only. Professional/Commercial use is prohibited unless you have contacted me for a commercial job.
