Don’t worry - most dogs don’t! In fact, the most character-filled portraits often come from those unplanned, 'perfectly imperfect' moments. To help them feel secure, your dog can stay on a lead during the session; this allows them to relax and enjoy the experience without the pressure of following commands. I then professionally 'edit out' the lead during the retouching process, leaving you with a seamless, beautiful portrait.

The photographic studio is at our home in a quiet village near Abingdon, Oxfordshire, with secure parking, easy access and space for your dog to wander outside in the garden.

I’ve found that a home setting is far less intimidating for dogs, helping them settle in much faster than a traditional commercial studio.

Of Course! No dog should miss out on beautiful portraits. Having trained as a dog trainer and being a mum to three dogs myself, I am well-versed in reading canine body language and managing nervous pups. We have welcomed reactive and anxious dogs into the studio with great success.

Your dog’s comfort is my absolute priority. If they struggle with the equipment or appear distressed, we stop immediately. Before your session, we’ll discuss exactly what sets them up for success—whether that’s bringing familiar blankets, removing potential triggers, or scheduling a shorter 'mini-session.' We work entirely at your dog's pace, with as many breaks as they need.

Yes! One of the best parts of a studio session is selecting the colours that complement your dog’s coat and personality, or match the decor of your home. I generally suggest up to two colours for a standard one-hour session; this ensures we have plenty of time to capture a variety of beautiful images without the 'changeovers' taking away from your dog's relaxed experience.

You can view our available colours in the Session Guide, and on the portfolio page. If you’re unsure which shade will best suit your best friend, I’m always happy to offer my expert advice!

Our sessions are designed to be a quiet bonding experience between you and your dog. For this reason, we limit attendance to two adults only. We are currently unable to accommodate children or larger family groups in the studio, as our setup is dedicated entirely to capturing professional pet portraits in a distraction-free setting

Treats—and plenty of them! We recommend bringing more than you think you’ll need, as they can disappear quickly when your dog is being a superstar. It's important to reward them for their hard work in a new environment, plus they are essential for those fun 'treat-catching' shots. By bringing your own, you can ensure we’re using their absolute favourites while managing any specific allergies or dietary requirements.

Yes, you are very welcome to bring up to two dogs to your session! There is a small additional fee of £25 for the second dog to account for the extra time and editing involved. To ensure every dog has enough space to feel relaxed and safe, our home studio is currently limited to a maximum of two dogs per session.

The 'big reveal' is one of the best parts of the experience! Your final, professionally edited images will be presented during a dedicated viewing session at the studio, usually scheduled one to two weeks after your shoot.

We host these sessions in person to ensure your portraits are seen in their full, high-quality glory before purchase. It’s a wonderful opportunity to see your dog’s personality come to life on the big screen and for us to chat through any framing or wall art options together.

Absolutely. I believe your portraits deserve to be displayed, but I also know that printing and framing can feel overwhelming. I’ve partnered with expert professional labs to offer a curated selection of stunning wall art and bespoke frames, taking the stress out of the process for you.

I value complete transparency, so upon enquiry, I’ll send over a full Wall Art and Digital price guide. This allows you to review all our beautifully valued packages and individual products priced in detail before you even book your session.

At the moment, I specialise in studio-based photography. However, I do offer seasonal outdoor 'mini-sessions' and model calls throughout the year! While we aren't taking bookings for full outdoor portraits right now, the best way to stay updated is to follow our social media pages, where all future dates and openings will be announced first.
