"DOGS ARE NOT OUR WHOLE LIFE, BUT THEY MAKE OUR LIVES WHOLE."

-Roger Caras

Pet portraiture for me grew out of a book project I was working on that featured my own Bernese Mountain Dogs in various backdrops across London. We would always manage to attract a crowd during these shoots and as people became aware of the kind of high quality photography available for pets that was typically only associated with photographing people, I realized that there is a definite market and demand for these images by owners whose pets are a beloved part of their own family.

These pet photography sessions are specifically tailored to your individual style and your pet's unique personality.  Currently, several different session types are offered to best provide clients with a fun, memorable experience, while capturing the unique, high-quality artistic imagery they expect.

Because each Pet Session is designed with final artwork or products in mind, I ask clients to select their session based on their objectives for the session and the type of wall art and images they desire.

LIFESTYLE SESSION - £149

Lifestyle Sessions are focused on capturing real moments with a combination of posed, action and detail shots of your pet engaged in their favorite day to day activities, as well as showcasing the bond they share with their beloved family members. 

These sessions are all about fun and tend to be a bit more spontaneous and somewhat action or play oriented (subject to your pet's individual personality!) Whether swimming at a local pond, playing with a favorite toy, romping in a beautiful field or even sneaking a lazy snooze on your favorite duvet at home, much the way you live a certain lifestyle so does your pet. 

These on-location and at-home sessions are perfect for capturing your pet's unique personality and are ideal for creating both wall art and custom albums. 

This session includes:

• Pre-session consultation via telephone or video

• Approximately 60-90 mins shooting time

• Up to 2 pets from the same household (additional pets £25 each)

• Variety of shoot locations available including an at-home/neighborhood combination option

FINE ART SESSION - £199

If you love the idea of more stylized, visually striking wall art of your pet to decorate your home or office, this session is ideal for you.

Whether you have a specific vision in mind already, or you would like me to provide a variety of potential locations or concepts, I will work closely with you to create the perfect session and ultimately, the perfect art piece for your walls.

The goal of the Fine Art Session is to capture strong visual images of your pet by incorporating artistic elements such as color, creative composition, high concept settings and iconic backgrounds.  In addition, I will shoot a few minutes of lifestyle images to compliment your pet's photo gallery so you get the best of both worlds.
