Surrey Dog Photographer / Windsor Great Park Pet Photoshoot

These photos were taken about a month ago in Windsor Great Park on a beautiful summer evening. It feels like such a contrast to the drippy, grey, cold weather we are experiencing at the moment, and it also feels like much longer than a month since those nice warm summer days.

This lovely family wanted a combination of dog portraits, dog action shots and family group photographs. We started the photoshoot in a woodland area next to the Savill Garden. There was an area of think brackon which framed the dogs nicely, and made for a nice backdrop for a group shot. We then moved on to the large field which is a part of the Guards Polo Club. I noticed a few children playing with the water sprinklers and I thought these would be fun to include in the photographs. They created an amazing spray of water which I used as a backdrop for both the dog action shots and some casual group shots. I love how the water spray created a soft curtain which reflected the sun rays, these are some of my favourite photos from this dog photo session. Finally we went down towards the Obelisk pond and the Savill Garden where I took a few dog portraits against the amazing Savill Garden Kitchen building, and in front of its colourful garden.

I love working as a dog photographer. Not only do I get to meet and spend time with some amazing pooches, I also get to meet their owners and capture moments which I hope will encapsulate the spirit and character of their beloved pets. I want my photos to be timeless remider of the relationship we have with our pets, long after they are gone.

Do you have a pet and would like to get some professional photographs of them? Get in touch to discuss your idea or to arrange a pet photography session. I work as a pet and dog photographer in London, Surrey, Sussex, Kent and also travel further afield at an additional travel cost.

Surrey Pet Photographer / Documenting Surrey Dogs During Lockdown

I love photographing dogs so it was a such a treat to photograph Luna, a female weimaraner with her owner as part of my community project, documenting how families and individuals spent their time during lockdown. This project was inspired at the beginning of lockdown by the New York photographer Stephen Lovekin who photographed people in his community in New York. His photographs, together with an article describing his community project, have been published in the Independent. I have had an amazining time working on this project, and have met wonderful people (and dogs!) in my community which has been one of the highlights of the last few months.

As London and Surrey pet photographer, I wanted to capture how Luna and her owner spent their days during lockdown. Since these two lovely ladies lead quite an active lifestyle, we split the photoshoot into two parts - one to document their love for long walks in the woods, and the second part to caputre their active lifestyle riding a bike/running alongside it.

On a beautiful summer morning, we ebmarked on a walk into our local woodland for a few portraits and action shots. The rest of this pet photoshoot was taken in the beautiful rhododendron woods, where I wanted to capture some of the blooms but also the amazing shapes and textures of the rhododendon trees. Finally I took a few headshot type photos in front of the local cricket pavillion.

The following session was nearly all about action! I was keen to photograph Luna running and her owner on the bike, and I played around with different types of shots and angles. I really like to experiment with my photography and I thought of using panning for one of the acrtion shots. I love the warm colours and the sense of motion that the photo conveys.

After all that exercise, it was time to relax in the evening light. This is one of my favourite sets of photos - backlit, golden light, summer grasses, and two stunning subjects to photograph. Every photographer’s dream!

I offer 1h and 2h dog photography gift vouchers and pet photography gift vouchers which make a perfect birthday, anniversary or christmas gift.

London Dog Photographer | Family and Pet Photoshoot

London Dog Photographer

Family and Pet Photoshoot

I recently did a family and pet photoshoot with an eight month old baby and the most gorgeous chocolate lab Lola. Lola is the perfect family dog - calm, trustworthy, loving and so incredibly tolerant. She has become somewhat of a nanny to the family’s youngest addition, and it was lovely to follow the two of them around the house, photographing them playing, interacting and relaxing together. Lola’s expressions made me lough at times, there were definitely a few “Oh, no, not again!” looks.

Professional Family and Pet Photographer

I love photographing children, and I love photographing dogs. Often clients comment on what a combination that is! Although challenging and frustrating at times, I find that if I don’t try to control the situation but let the interaction happen spontaniously, photo opportunities present themselves organically and I just need to be there at the time to capture the magic unfolding. I love the little sequence of the baby and Lola interacting - it is the little looks, touches and smiles that melt my heart.

If you would like to arrange a family photo session, or a pet photo session, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

London and Surrey Dog Photographer

I work all across London, Surrey, and the South East photographing dogs and their owners. I have photographed dogs in Hampstead Heath, Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Marble Hill Park and beautiful Surrey Hills. The outdoor location provides the perfect setting for dogs to run, jump, splash in water, roll in mud and chill out in the sun. I can also take photos of your pet in your own home, relaxing in his favourite chair or exploring her favourite part of the garden.

Although I mainly work in and around London, Surrey and the South East, I am more than happy to travel to other destinations. However due to extra time and occasionally an overnight stay, this type of work may involve additional fees. Please contact me if you would like to enquire.

Dog Photoshoot in Surrey / Surrey Pet Photographer

This sweet female dalmatian called Polka was the winner of a local dog show, where she won the prize for a one hour dog photoshoot with me. I visited her and her owner at their home, a beautiful farm house in Surrey.

As Surrey dog photographer, I look to capture a dog’s character, their favourite surrounding and their relationship with their owner. The owner of this lady only wanted portraits of Polka and her enjoying her surrounds.

Here are a few photos of her - looking not best pleased with me in some of the photos!

London Pet Photographer / Surrey Pet Photo Session

I really enjoy the variety of jobs I get commissioned to do. One week it could be a couples photoshoot, next week a wedding, christening, family photoshoot or a newborn photoshoot. Amongst all these great jobs I get to do for a living, I also get commissioned to take photos of people’s pets!

I love speding a couple of hours in the company of our four legged friends, and meeting their lovely owners. Going into a new job, I try to get a sense of a dog’s personality and character. I aim to capture a variety of shots: portraits, action shots and the special bond people share with their dogs. My dog photography sessions are relaxed, fun and generally held outside, in a favourite park or on a favourite walk. However, this recent photoshoot, which involved an elderly greyhound Molly, was done mainly indoors, due to Molly’s old age. This meant that unlike the outdoor sessions where there is lots of walking, ball chasing and running around, this session was more quiet and the majority of it limited to the indoor space. I tend to get a bit more apperhensive about indoor sessions, worrying whether there will be enough ‘stuff’ for creative photography. This concern pushes me to work harder, and to ‘look’ for shots more.

During the photo session, I focused on finding nice natural light and beautiful shapes in Molly’s elegant form. An armchare next to the window provided a perfect perch for Molly, and a quilt thrown on at the back of the chair added a lovely background, and a personal touch. I tried to capture Molly’s expressions, they were full of charm and intelligence.

Working as a pet photographer, I photograph mainly dogs but also cats, horses and even miniature pet headgehogs! You can visit my pet photography page for some more examples of my work. I work across London, Surrey and Sussex but will travel further afield for a photoshoot, or a special event like Crufts. I will ensure you and your pet have a great time during the photoshoot, and will provide a great set of photos for you to treasure in years to come. I also provide pet photography gift vouchers which are a great present for a birthday, wedding or anniversiry, for a friend or a family memmber. If you are interested in purchasing a gift voucher, please visit my gift voucher page, or contact me to discuss your requirements. If you would like to organise a pet photoshoot for your own pet, get in touch to arrange a session!
