Absolutely not! I am very experienced in working with all types of dogs. I recommend dogs be kept on lead too, as this can easily be removed in editing if the lead is attached to a collar. I also conduct the shoots at a relaxed pace with lots of breaks and rewards - this helps keep your dog as happy and chilled as possible.

This is more than okay. Safety is my top priority, so having your dog on lead is strongly encouraged. If you’re after the types of images seen in my portfolio, you will notice that most dogs have had their lead and collar edited out in the final images. For this reason, it is recommended that your dog’s lead is attached to a collar and not a harness (at least when we’re shooting, their harness can be popped back on right afterwards) as that makes things easier in retouching.

It is not necessary for your dog to know specific tricks, but a good ‘stay’ or ‘sit’ definitely helps. I recommend bringing treats that your dog enjoys, or a favourite toy, as an easy way to grab their attention and reward them frequently.

Of course! Most people really want portraits of themselves and their dogs, so this is no problem at all. If you’re unsure of what to wear or how to pose then I can offer lots of help and advice on both. However, if you’d rather only have pictures of your dog without being in them yourself this is more than okay too. It’s totally up to you!

In the event of inclement weather within 3 hours of the start of the shoot, we will rearrange the session at your earliest convenience.

Clients really love the experience of viewing their galleries a few weeks after the session. This allows you to wait to see the final gallery before deciding which products you’d like to invest in, if any.

Attending an image reveal appointment allows you to see samples of other printed options such as wall art and fully understand how the finished images will look, along with some professional advice.

There is the option to take advantage of some viewing-exclusive offers should you wish to invest in prints or wall art for your home, but there is absolutely no insistence that you do so at all.
