Christmas pet photography can be a fun and festive way to capture the holiday spirit with your furry friends. I had the pleasure of meeting a gorgeous little girl, and photographing her around some of London’s most famous landmarks during the most festive of holidays.
Christmas Dog Photography in London | Festive Pet Photos
Christmas dog photography in London is a beautiful way to capture the festive season while celebrating the special bond between you and your pet. During this festive photoshoot, I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous little dog in the heart of London, exploring iconic landmarks such as London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Against the backdrop of Christmas trees, winter light and the vibrant atmosphere of the city, this session perfectly showcases how festive pet photography can transform everyday moments into timeless memories you’ll treasure for years to come.
Christmas Dog Photography
My client received a gift from her friends for a one hour dog photo session. We arranged to meet at London Bridge and explore the surround area, visiting some of the iconic London sites. We started the photo session with a classic Christmas shot - right in front of a Christmas tree. From there we moved on to Tower Bridge where we spent a few playful minutes running around on the frosty grass, with one of the most iconic London landmarks providing a majestic backdrop.
London Dog Photographer
As a London dog photographer, I travel all over London photographing dogs and their owners. Although I travel to different areas of London, I haven’t photographed in the heart of London for a while. I was so excited to be back in the city, to experience the hustle and bustle of pre-Christmas London and to photograph in the urban landscape which provides a different, yet equally compelling, canvas for dog photography. We met up at London Bridge, and from there went towards Tate Modern, St Pauls and Southbank.

Dog Photo Session in Wandsworth
I so am behind with my blog posts! This one is from earlier in the summer which seems long long ago. The days are getting short and the evenings are drawing in, perfect time for sitting by the fire and reminiscing about summer photo sessions.
This couple and dog photo shoot took place in Wandsworth, South West London. The photoshoot was a Christmas gift and was meant to be a puppy photo session, but because of puppy health issues we had to postpone. By summer time, the bulldog puppy didn’t quite look like a puppy but it definitely had the puppy spirit about him.
We started the dog photo session in the communal gardens where I took a few action shots and portraits of the puppy alone. We then headed out by the river for a walk, which has some beautiful backdrops which I was keen to incorporate in the portraits of the couple together with their dog. I love including the landscape into the photograph, it gives a sense of a place and reminds the clients of the places they visited or where they lived.
Bulldogs are such expressive dogs and it is great fun and a pleasure to photograph them. Their grumpy face makes for a great pet portrait but they are also playful and cheeky, and some of my favourite photos from this pet photo shoot are the action shots.
Christmas is coming once again. If you need a Christmas gift idea, head over to my gift voucher page where you can find a selection of photography gift vouchers available to purchase. Photography gift vouchers are available for one year from the date of purchase and come with a complementary 8x6’’ print.

Dog Photographer in Windsor Great Park
German Shepherd Photography
I’ve never photographed a german shepherd before so I was very excited about this dog photography session!
Outdoor Dog Photo Shoot
My client received a dog photography gift certificate from her brother and sister. After brief email correspondence, we agreed to meet in Windsor Great Park for an outdoor photoshoot. I photographed a couple and their two dogs at the same location a couple of months ago and really enjoyed the experice so I was eagar to go back.
Photographing Dogs and their Owners
Tui was a lovely gentle dog who was a bit shy and nervous of the camera at first. I gave him a bit of time to get used to me and once he started to relax I was able to photograph around him freely. The more I photograph dogs the more I want explore the relationship they have with their owners. I love taking a nice portrait of a dog or an exciting action shot, but for me it is really the connection dogs have with their owners that draws my attention and makes for an interesting and hopefully timeless photograph. So more and more in my dog photography I am trying to include the owners. My hope is that when they look back on the photos in the future, the image will provoke not only the memory of the dog, but also their relationship.

Family Dogs / Surrey Family and Pet Photographer
Family Dogs
I love taking family photographs and I also love photographing dogs. That is why I recently started a personal project called Family Dogs, with an aim to document the relationship families have with their pet dogs. To kick start the series, I photographed a gorgeous cocker spaniel Lexi with her human family. We arranged our dog and family photo shoot near Leith Hill as the family lived close by and one of their favourite things to do in spare time was to go on long country walks.
Family portraits with pets
It was a warm summer day in late summer, with sunshine coming through the clouds but with rain looming in the distance. We started our walk at the bottom of the hill, walking up the gentle slopes, sun coming through the trees. This first part of the session provided some great opportunities for group shots, the colours of the dead leaves on the ground matching Lexi’s coat. It was lovely to work with the earhy colour palette. A part of the route up towards Leith Hill has some impressive tree roots which form an amazing pattern on the ground. I knew I wanted to include these in the photographs, so I positioned Lexi for a few dog portraits. I particurlarly like black and white versions of these photographs, the textures and patterns really come through. Once we were on top of the hill, I looked around for nice spots for some more family shots. The heather was in bloom and I wanted to include it in the photos. Often when photographing families with dogs, there is quite a bit of arranging going on. Either the dog doesn’t want to sit still, the kids want to run around or both things happen making it nearly impossible to take a group shot! On this occasion, by some miracle, the family set down and just as they did so (while also looking at the camera), Lexi came from behind and poked her head through a little hole in the middle. This is one of the rare unposed, unplanned photos which just happened and turned out amazing! It is one of my favouirtes from this family and pet photo session, probably because it was so spontaneous!
Dog Portraits
Finally, a dog photo session with an energetic dog like Lexi wouldn’t be complete without a few action shots. I got Lexi to run along the paths amongst the heather and she did so with such speed that my auto focus struggled to keep up. I love taking a variety of different shots which capture memories of our pets in different situations - while frantically running around, chasing a ball, playing with another dog or a family member, or having a quiet moment. Different moments take us back and awaken memories we thought we lost.

Crufts 2016, NEC, Birmingham
I was recently commissioned to photograph Jango the Spanish Water Dog at the Crufts dog show in Birmingham. I used to go to dog shows when I was a little girl, but I have never been to the Crufts and was so excited to go! Jango came all the way from America, after recently winning best in breed at the prestigious Westminster Dog Show in New York, and was making his first appearance in the UK. Unfortunately, he didn't take the same title this time, but he clearly enjoyed being shown and all the attention he received from his new fans. Here is a selection of images from the day. More to follow later on this week!
