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.

Dog Photography Session in Surrey

We’ve been spoiled for beautiful summer evenings this year. I tend to photograph whatever the weather, I really don’t mind a bit of drizzle or even rain but I do love warm sunny summer evenings and the golden light that comes with it.

I photographed these two ladies earlier this summer, when the grass (and days) was still long. When I first started photographing dogs, I focused on getting a nice portrait of a dog, or a great action shot. My dog photo sessions have evolved since then, and in additin to capturng those types of shots for my clients, I also try to capture the relationships dog owners have with their beloved pets. The special bond between these two ladies was apparent from the start which I hope I captured in this set of photographs.

Do you know a dog owner who would love to have the relationship with their dog captured? As a pet photographer, I work across Surrey, London and the South East capturing these relationships.

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!

Pet Photographer Surrey / Leith Hill Dog Photography

Surrey Dog Photographer

It was a gorgeos day which I spent in the company of this fun, energetic black labrador called Pippa and her lovely owners. Her owners received a wedding gift voucher for a pet photoshot, and decided to go for a walk and some photos around Leith Hill. Energetic dogs mean lots of action shots and Pippa was well up for ball chasing and going for a long hike! As Surrey dog photographer I try to capture a dog’s personality but also the bond between dog owners and their pets. There was no doubt that Pippa and her owners were totally in love with each other, and I thoroughlly enjoyed whitnessing and capturing that bond.

London Dog Photographer | Surrey Dog Photoshoot

Poppy is a 12 year old golden retriever who I photographed a few weeks ago. She has lost a bit of her hearing and is a little slow on her feet, but is so full of life and was incredibly gentle and graceful.

Surrey Hills is an amazing area for recreation and anyone wanting some nature time, and is also fantastic for dog photography. Poppy’s owner wanted to have a few photos of Poppy enjoying her favourite walk. It rained the previous night so I incorporated puddles into a few compositions, and took several portraits of Poppy in her favourite places.

If you are thinking of having dog portraits done of your favourite pooch, or would like to purchase dog photography gift voucher for your family member or friend, please get in touch - I would love to hear from you! Professional dog photography is a lovely way of keeping the memory of your favourite pet in years to come.

Summer Day / Richmond-upon-Thames Dog Photographer

This post is a little reminder that it is still summer! I photographed Toby the parsons russell terrier a couple of weeks ago on a warm sunny day, which now seems like a distant memory. Although a senior, Toby was so energetic and enjoyed chasing his rugby ball and having a swim in the river. These are a few of my favourite photo from the photoshoot.

Dog photography Richmond upon Thames /Richmond-upon-Thames Dog Photographer

I was commissioned to take several portraits of two wonderful doggies who were not only very photogenic but also the perfect models! I took several individual and together portraits in their home in beautiful Richmond upon Thames, and then moved outdoors for a few action and scenic shots. My client commissioned me as she wanted to give a memory of photos as a birthday gift to her daughter - a very sweet present which I hope will bring fond memories in years to come.
