Frequently asked questions
Where do the photoshoots take place?
We’re lucky to have some beautiful local locations nearby that make the perfect backdrop for your pet’s photos. If you have a special place in mind, I’m more than happy to meet you there! Studio sessions take place at the end of my semi-tropical garden in Slough, Berkshire. It’s a quiet, pet-friendly space designed for relaxed and beautiful portraits.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
We always try our best to go ahead as planned, but if it’s pouring down, we’ll simply reschedule at no extra cost. I want the best possible experience and photos for you and your dog, and that sometimes means waiting for better weather.
What if my dog won’t sit still?
Don’t worry, most dogs don’t! I will work with your dog’s energy and personality rather than against it. There are lots of natural, candid moments that we can capture, especially in locations such as Black Park where dogs have room to move and explore. Patience, play, and treats usually win the day!
My dog can’t be off the lead, is that going to be a problem?
Many dogs need to stay on-lead for safety or recall reasons. We’ll use a long line if needed, and I can carefully edit the lead out of your final chosen images where possible—so it won’t affect your finished photos.
Can you remove collars or harnesses from the photos?
I can often edit out collars and leads, but harnesses can be trickier—especially bulky ones. If your dog usually wears a harness, I recommend using it to walk to the session and between shots, but switching to a simple, thin collar during the actual photo moments if possible. This gives the cleanest results in your final images.
