Couple & Dog Photography at Isabella Plantation | London Dog Photographer in Richmond Park
RICHMOND park’s secret garden
Isabella Plantation in Richmond park is one of my all time favourite places to visit. It is a secluded Victorian woodland garden in the middle of the park, which from early March onward becomes transformed with smells and sights of camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, bluebells and many more magnificent plant species. It is a feast for the senses and provides a beautiful backdrop for photography.
Couple and Dog Photo Shoot at Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park
I was lucky enough to have not only one but two photo sessions there this year. The first one was a newborn photo session in the peak of the flowering season - everywhere you looked were beautiful shades of pink, red, violet, yellow, orange, green and blue. The second photo shoot was with a very sweet couple and their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Crumpet. We met early in the morning to avoid the crowds. It was a beautiful spring morning, the sun was shining and the air was filled with the sweet smell of rhododendrons. We started the session at still pond, normally the busiest part of the garden. Azaleas around the pond were slightly past their peak, providing a less intense colour as the backdrop. I used a nearby japanese acer tree to frame the shot and placed the couple in front of the pond. We stayed around this area to take a few more portraits of everyone together, and of Crumpet on his own.
London Dog Photographer
We continued our walk through the plantation to Thompson’s pond and Peg’s pond, stopping along the way to smell the flowers, look at ducklings and most importantly capture preciousmemories. Working as London dog photographer, I love the challenge of photographing in new places. Although I visited Isabella plantation countless times, I previously did only one dog photo shoot there, which was later in the season and after the flowering season. Therefore, this couple & dog photo session felt completely fresh and inspired me to think of new locations, backdrops and photography techniques which I previously haven’t used in this location.
Outdoor Portrait Photography
Looping around and going back towards the car park, we passed through a quiet area of the garden, filled with bluebells, old chestnut trees, rhododendrons and bracken. It was in this area where a fallen chestnut tree caught my eye, its exposed roots creating a sculptural shape which I wanted to incorporate into the portraits of my subjects.
Relaxed Pet Photography
At this point, Crumpet was getting a little tired from all the hard work of posing, so I suggested we take a short break. With everyone relaxed, I could work unobtrusively to capture a few detailed shots of the dog and a few shots of the couple with Crumpet which felt more intimate.
Photographing Dogs in Action
Outside of the plantation, and with Crumpet off the lead, it was time for action shots! I love doing these shots, especially with breeds with long ears. The resulting images are filled with joy and happiness - ears flapping, tongue dangling, leaping through the air - definition of a happy puppy!

Couple & Dog Photo Session in Queens Park, Paddington | London Dog Photograph
Senior Pet Photography in London
Meet Dublin! A sixteen year old terrier cross with a spark in his eye and a spring in his step! Full of character, joy and that irresistible zest for life - he was livelier than a lot of dogs half his age. His owners reached out to me as they had received some worrying news about his health, and they wanted to capture some photographs of him while he was still feeling well. It was a bittersweet request, one I always approach with the deepest care and respect. These sessions are never easy, but they’re incredibly meaningful.
You wouldn’t guess Dublin’s age just by watching him. Despite everything, he was bouncy, curious and eager to explore. We arranged to meet at Queens Park, west London as this was one of Dublin’s favourite walking spots. The park had a great mix of paths, open spaces and quiet corners so felt big enough and varied enough in terms of photography backgrounds, but was also meaningful to the couple.
Outdoor Pet & Couple Photography
We began the session with a gentle walk along a tree-lined path tucked into one corner of the park. I always guide my clients a little during these early moments, just enough to help them feel at ease and forget about the camera. This enables me to capture my clients relaxed, enjoying each other’s company and being present.
Dog Portrait Photography
Not far from the path, we found a large fallen log—just the right place to pause for some individual portraits. Once up on the log, Dublin was happy to pause briefly from his park adventures and enjoy a few cuddles. It was also a good place to brush up on his stay command, while I took several portraits of him.
Winter Dog Photo Session at a London park
As we made our way into the centre of the park, the bandstand came into view. Bright and striking against the soft grey of an overcast day, it added a little splash of colour to the photos.I always enjoy working around bandstands—there’s something nostalgic about them. Once a bustling part of Victorian park life, many have faded into history, though some, like this one, have been carefully restored and still serve as focal points for families and communities. On this day, there was no music playing, just the rustle of leaves and the gentle laughter of a couple who clearly adore their little dog. I worked from different angles, positioning myself to capture the whole structure as well as the couple and the dog from closer up.
For more information about bandstands, you can read a really interesting article here.
By this point, Dublin was getting a little tired so I suggested we find a bench and have a bit of a rest. This worked a treat! Dublin snuggled in between the couple and enjoyed lots of kisses and cuddles. Some of my favourite photos are from this bench. They are filled with love, connection and intimacy and show just how meaningful and deep our relationship with our pet can be.
This was a great opportunity to have some close up photos of Dublin’s face. He had such curious expressive eyes that I wanted to capture them up close. I’d hoped to get a photo of his paw resting in a hand, but he wasn’t quite comfortable with that. So we decided to improvise. His owner gently resting her hand next to his, which created a lovely timeless composition..
As the session came to a close, we ended on a light-hearted note, tossing some leaves in the air to see if Dublin might enjoy the spectacle. He was entirely unimpressed, closing his eyes as the leaves fluttered down, which made us all laugh.
End-of-Life Dog Photography
Sessions like these are incredibly special. They’re about celebrating the life of a beloved pet, acknowledging the joy they’ve brought, the love they’ve shared, and the space they hold in our hearts. If you’re considering photographs of your senior dog, or if you’re approaching a more difficult goodbye, please know you’re not alone.
I offer senior dog and end-of-life dog and pet photography, and have recently joined the Tilly Project - a non-profit organisation that helps connect pet owners with photographers across the world, and provides photography, educational, and grief resources for owners experiencing pet loss or bereavement.

About Me
Hello! I’m Mina, a pet and family photographer based in Surrey, working across London and the South East. I’ve always loved animals and have had dogs growing up who were my companions and my best buddies. In my adulthood I’ve had two cats who were there for some of my most important milestones in life.
Losing them was incredibly hard, but the photographs I have of them are now some of my most treasured possessions. They bring me back to our shared adventures and remind me of the deep love we had for one another.
I know how meaningful our relationships with our pets are, and how important it is to preserve the moments that make them special. I would love to help you capture memories of you with your beloved pet. If you would like to work with me, please get in touch.
London Pet Photographer | Couple & Pet Photo Session in Greenwich Park
A Spring Photoshoot In Greenwich Park
This March was unusually dry and gloriously sunny, the kind of weather that makes you want to spend every waking moment outdoors. The month started with cloudy, mild days which were perfect for outdoor Spring photoshoots. My month kicked off with a lovely couple and their dog for a photo session in Greenwich Park—one of my absolute favourite locations to photograph.
We met up early on a Sunday morning. The park was fairly quiet, and we decided to stay in the upper part of the park and avoid the touristy places near the observatory and the National Maritime Museum. It felt like we had this section of the park all to ourselves, which was ideal for family portraits..
A Playful Senior Pup Steals The Show
The star of the shoot was a ten year old Maltese x Jack Russell cross called Peanut - an energetic, confident little guy who was in action mode from the very beginning. Prior to the photoshoot, I chatted to his owner and enquired about his general mobility. The moment he arrived, it was clear that this was going to be a shoot full of movement, fun, and playful energy. Our first stop was a beautiful patch of spring daffodils, where I intended to take a few portrait shots, but despite the stunning blooms, he had more important things on his mind. I tried a few tricks to keep him still amongst the flowers, but he was far more interested in his favourite ball. And why not? His enthusiasm was contagious.
It didn’t take long for him to chase his ball twenty times, still with plenty of energy to spare. With a dog that active, we had to embrace the action shots, and I captured him darting through the grass with incredible speed, tail wagging in pure joy. As we made our way through the park, I directed the couple to a lovely tree-lined path. This narrow passageway, framed by two rows of bare trees, created the perfect backdrop, offering soft, warm tones and a sense of intimacy as the couple walked on.
Further down the path, I spotted a beautiful grove of large pine trees with drooping branches—something that resembled a natural amphitheatre. I couldn’t resist using this stunning structure as a backdrop for the family portraits. It gave the photos an almost magical quality, with the couple framed by nature’s grandeur while Peanut playfully wandered around them.
The London Skyline As The Perfect Backdrop
As we continued to explore the park, the view opened up to reveal the iconic Canary Wharf skyline. The early morning mist had given the skyline a soft, ethereal appearance, and it was the perfect backdrop for family portraits. The contrast between the lush green of the park and the towering, modern buildings in the distance created a striking visual effect.
With the couple and Peanut in the foreground, and the skyline as a gentle, misty backdrop, the photos captured a sense of serenity and connection. We got a few more action shots of Peanut running after his ball. I love how these images turned out - bursting with energy and joy! The backdrop, while stunning, never overshadowed the personalities in the frame; it only enhanced the story we were telling.
Cuddly Moments on a Picnic Blanket
After a few rounds of playful running, we moved to a quieter, more relaxed setting. We set up a picnic blanket in a beautiful space backed by still leafless branches, allowing the couple to settle down, relax, and enjoy some quiet time in the heart of Greenwich Park. Peanut, content and happy, curled up next to them, providing the perfect companion for these sweet shots. The trio looked effortlessly natural, lounging together, sharing a few cuddles and tender moments.
The view next door opened up towards a quaint little church in a tranquil part of the park, and I couldn’t resist a few more quiet shots of this gorgeous family. The couple snuggled up together, with Peanut between them, sharing quiet, tender moments. These were the shots that perfectly balanced the high-energy ones—the tranquil area of the park, relaxed doggy in the arms of his owners.
Individual Portraits with the Dog: Capturing the Bond
One of my favourite parts of every session is capturing individual portraits of the owners with their dog. These moments are always so personal and meaningful, as they reflect the unique bond shared between them. For this session, we found a quiet bench tucked away in a peaceful part of the park, and I took a few moments to photograph the couple individually with Peanut.
Dog Portraits Among the Spring Daffodils
One of the most memorable moments of the session was when we stopped by a patch of vibrant spring daffodils. The golden flowers provided a soft, cheerful backdrop for a few dog portraits of Peanut. Despite his energetic nature (and finding a patch to roll in), he paused just long enough for some stunning shots, with the daffodils swaying gently in the breeze around him. These portraits perfectly captured his lively spirit, yet also reflected the peace and beauty of the season.
Senior Dog Photography: Cherishing Every Moment
One of the things I love most about my work is having the opportunity to photograph senior dogs. They bring so much personality, wisdom, and love to a shoot. Peanut, at ten years old, had a wonderful mix of playful energy and quiet affection. His presence brought so much character to the photos, and I’m grateful to have captured these moments for his family.
Senior dogs hold a special place in their owners’ hearts, and a photoshoot like this is a beautiful way to celebrate those bonds.
If you're planning a shoot with your dog, especially a senior dog, it's a good idea to choose a location and setting that feels comfortable and familiar to both of you. Whether it's a park, a beach, or your own backyard, the goal is to create an environment that encourages natural moments and genuine expressions.

Puppy and Couple Photoshoot on Wimbledon Common | London Pet Photographer
Puppy Photography on Wimbledon Common
I love my job, but for this particular photo session, I had to pinch myself! Photographing a morkie puppy in the middle of autumn, on Wimbledon Common was totally dreamy!
Wedding Photography with a Dog
When this couple asked me to photograph their London wedding next year which will include their little bundle of fluff I immediately said yes! But who was going to wait until next May to meet this precious little girl? Pre-wedding photoshoots were certanly a thing a few years ago, which gave me an idea to use this as an excuse for a chance to photograph the puppy (and the wedding couple of course!). I really wanted to get some snuggly cuddly photos amongst the backdrop of beautiful autumnal colours and luckly everyone involved was up for it.
Autumnal Puppy Photoshoot
It was an overcast day, and we’ve arranged to meet at Wimbledon Common - the perfect setting for outdoor images. The Common provides so much variety in terms of paths, vegitation, colour, texture that I was spoilt for choice. Autumnal colours were absolutely gorgeous and the weather was palying the ball. Drying oak and beech leaves provided warmth (in terms of colour) and an opportunity to play chase leaves and play games.
Outdoor Puppy Photography
I tend to keep puppy photo sesssions to one hour, as puppies easily tire and need more rest than adult dogs. With a pocket full of treats and a positive attitude, I worked quickly to get a variety of poses and backdrops, including action shots of the puppy running, family portraits, playful shots and a few puppy portratis.
We finished shoot with a set of playful photos under a beech tree, after which it was truly a time for a puppy nap!

Surrey Dog Photographer in Buckinghamshere | Senior Dog Photo Session
A Fun Senior Dog Photo Session
In recent years, it has become increasingly popular for dog owners to wish to capture their beloved furry friends and their unique personalities through photography . Whether it's a couple with a playful puppy, a family with young children and a family dog, or an individual with a senior dog, dog photography encapsulates the love and bond we share with our canine companions.
I often get asked what type of photoshoots do I do the most. It really varies, from couples to families wanting family portraits, to weddings, christenings and parties. But a lot of my work has a thread that links it all together - dogs! This year, I photographed many individuals, couples and families with dogs, and have met some incredible people (and dogs) along the way.
Pet Photography Gift Vouchers make amazing gifts for dog owners and loved ones
One of the amazing jobs I had this autumn, was photographing these two lovely ladies. My client received a dog photography gift voucher from her best friend for a dog photo session, to capture the deep bond Polo the white german shephard and her owner shared. Polo is approaching her teens so it was the perfect time to have a senior dog photo session.
Outdoor dog & owner photoshoot
We met at home for a few casual shots in the garden, and have arrange to then move to Black Park Country Park, a Buckinghamshire Country Park on the outskirts of Slough. It was an overcast day, with the promise of sun breaking through. Polo was a superstar - up for pretty much anything I threw her way - from running to sitting in the brecon to climbing on logs. I tried to experiment a little bit with posing her as her white coat made such a beautiful contrast against the woodland backdrop.
I was also really keen to photograph Polo and her owner together, and really show the strong loving bond the two share together. Below is a collection of photogrtaphs from the session, I hope you like these as much as I do!

London Dog Photographer | Dulwich Puppy Photoshoot
Couple & Puppy Photo Session in Peckham Rye Park, London
Work doesn’t get much better than this! Photographing an adorable 6 month old cavapoo puppy, on a warm spring sunny day, in London’s Peckham Rye Park. I was in heaven! As a London dog photographer, sessions like these are exactly why I love what I do - meeting great people, spending time with adorable puppies, visiting beautiful London parks. This couple and their puppy made the session such a pleasure, and Peckham Rye Park provided the perfect natural backdrop for a couple and puppy photo session filled with warmth and connection.
Puppy Photography Gift Vouchers
This lovely couple received a dog photography gift voucher from a family member, which is always such a meaningful and personal present. During our initial correspondance, the owner of the puppy sent me a photo to show me what kind of dog they had. It was instant cuteness overload! I was very excited to do the photoshoot and meet the puppy (and the couple of course!). Gift vouchers for puppy photography are a wonderful way to capture those fleeting early months, when dogs grow and change so quickly.
Peckham Rye Park Puppy and Couple Photo Session
After chatting about possible locations, we settled on Peckham Rye Park, a beautiful and diverse park in East Dulwich in London. It offers an amazing variety of backdrops in one place, from formal gardens, to open spaces, intimate nooks and even a small japanese garden - perfect for pet photography! This makes Peckahm Rye park the perfect place for puppy photography, dog photography, couple and puppy photography and family photography. The variety allows for a relaxed walk-and-shoot approach, keeping the session fun and natural rather than posed or rushed. I worked in this park many times, and it always surprises me with new wonderful places.
London Puppy Photography
The puppy was only 6 months old at the time of the photoshoot and still very much a puppy - playful, curious, and easily distracted (in the best way!). For puppies and young dogs, I usually recommend a 1h dog photo session. Puppies’ attention spans and physical endurance are limited, so shorter sessions tend to work best. I work at a quicker pace, limit the number of setups, and focus on capturing genuine moments rather than forcing too much variety. For a one-hour puppy photo session, clients typically receive a gallery of 25-30 images (rather than 60-100 from a two hour session). In my experience, this approach keeps puppies relaxed and owners happy, resulting in more natural, expressive photographs.
Dog Photography Gift Vouchers
If you are considering purchasing a potography gift voucher please visit my store. I provide puppy and dog photography gift vouchers, family photography gift certificates, and newborn baby gift vouchers. If you have a specific occasion you would like to purchase a voucher for, please contact me to arrange a custom designed gift voucher. I look forward to hearing from you!

London Dog Photographer | Puppy and Couple Photo Session at Chiswick House and Gardens
Chiswick House and Gardens Photography
The grounds of Chiswick House and Gardens are some of the most picturesque in West London. Chiswick House, one of the most recognisable examples of neo-Palladian architecture overlooks beautiful italian-inspired landscaped gardens. The house was build between 1725 and 1738 by architect William Kent and Richard Boyle, the third Earl of Burlington who rejected the then popular Baroque style in favour of simpler, symetrical style based on classical italian architecture. The house and gardens provided the perfect London backdrop for this couple & puppy photo session.
Puppy Photography in Chiswick
This was a dream photoshoot! A lovely couple, an adorable puppy and a beautiful setting to take photographs in. The youngest member of the team was a ruby six month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a boy named Goji (yes - like the berry!). From my past experince working with puppies, I learned that puppies tire quickly so photographing them requires a quicker pace. We started off with a few portraits of the puppy before moving on to family portraits and action shots. I moved fairly quickly from shot to shot; the only multiple takes I did were walking shots and action shots. Goji was a true champ - not only did he manage to do absolutely brilliantly throughout the whole session, but he did so with a wag in his tail.
London Dog Photographer
I work all across London and the south East photographing dogs and their owners.

Christmas Dog Photography in London | Festive Pet Photos

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 photography in London is not just about capturing adorable moments; it's a celebration of the deep connection between humans and their furry companions against the backdrop of one of the world's most dynamic cities.

London Dog Photographer in Bushy Park
This was a fun session, photographing three Black labs. Well…Two Black labs and a lab-hungarian viszla cross. I photographed one of the labs a few years ago when she was only a puppy so it was really nice to be reunited and photograph this lovely lady enjoying Bushy park with her friends.
Autumnal Dog Photo Session
It was a sunny autumnal day, the sun was out but not too harsh and the dogs were happy, energetic and loving the camera! Autumn is a really nice season to be taking dog photographs. Days are still not too cold, the colours are gorgeous, the sun is lower in the sky so there is less glare and occasionally, if you are really lucky, there is mist and fog which add to the atmosphere. It is one on my favourite times to have dog photoshoots.
Photographing Multiple Dogs
I really enjoyed getting to know this little band and seeing their characters come through - the sensible one, the energetic one and the cheeky one - can you spot them all? Below are some of the photos from the shoot, I hope you love them as much as I do!

Senior Dog Photo Session in East London
I recently photographed several senior dogs who were nearing the end of their life. Their owners wanted to document a few precious moments with them in their old age. They also wanted to celebrate their long life as well as the long friendship they had together.
Senior Dog Photography
This is Daisy, a black labrador who’s health was rapidly deteriorating. Her owners wated to have a few photographs of all of them together as a memory of their time. We arranged to meet at Dagenham in East London, and photograph Daisy at the Chase Nature Reserve where she loves going for walks. It was important to capture the couple together with Daisy, but also to photograph Daisy on her own, to capture her character and personality at her old age.
Meaningful Dog Photography
Senior dog photography sessions (or end of life dog photography sessions) are incredibly meaningful. As we strat to think about our pet nearing the end of their life, we revisit the journey we had with them from the moment we met them through all the big milestones and little moments in between. Some pets have been with us and members of our family for a very long time so naturally saying goodbye is hard and painful, and can feel devastating. From my own experience dealing with grief of a death of a pet, having some photos taken before you say your last goodbye is not only a nice memory but also the start of the greaving process.
End of Life Dog Photography
If you are interested in booking a senior dog photography session with me, please get in touch. I have photographed a few senior dogs recently and they were so special that I decided to make them available to more people. I am now offering free local one hour senior dog photo sessions (travel outside of my local area will be charged) which are well suited for one pet with their owner. Should you wish to extend the photo session to 2h and have your partner/family/other dog join in, a top up fee will be charged. Prints and digital files will be available to purchase. For more information, please email me through my website.
