Step 1 - Pre-session Consultation

Before your session, we’ll have a friendly phone call to go over all the important details.

This is your chance to:

  • Tell me about your pet, their personality and any special quirks

  • Discuss the style of images you love

  • Confirm the date and time for the photoshoot

  • Answer any questions you may have

  • Make sure you feel fully prepared and excited for your session

This call usually takes around 10–15 minutes and helps us create the perfect plan for your shoot.

Step 2 - The Photoshoot

Your portrait session will last around one hour, giving us plenty of time to capture a beautiful variety of images without rushing.

During the session, you can expect:

  • A relaxed, friendly atmosphere

  • The choice of two different backdrop colours

  • Gentle guidance to help you and your pet feel comfortable

  • Time for breaks, sniffing, and getting used to the environment

  • A mixture of posed and natural moments

  • A fun bonding experience for you and your pet

My goal is to create images that feel genuine and full of personality.

Step 3 - Professional Retouching

After your session, I’ll carefully select the best images and begin the retouching process.

This includes:

  • Colour correction and tonal adjustments

  • Removing small distractions where appropriate

  • Preparing your images to look their absolute best

This stage takes time and care, ensuring the final collection is polished, cohesive, and ready for you to enjoy.
