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 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!
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.
Crufts dog photography / Richmond-upon-Thames and London Dog Photographer
I was going through some old photos and I came across a selection of photographs I did for a commission back in March 2016 - from the Crufts! I suddenly realised it is March and Crufts 2018 is nearly upon us! It is being held at the NEC in Birmingham between 8-11 March 2018 so if you are a dog lover or a dog owner, I would urge you to go - it is absolutely fantastic! An amazing venue, an incredible number of dogs, and so much fun to go and absorb some of the atmosphere. Here are a few snaps I took back in 2016, including those of Jango (Spansih Water Dog) who I was commissiond to take photos of. He retired last year as the number 6 Herding Dog in the US, after a successful career as a show dog. I am so delighted I was able to capture his Crufts performance, and to be a part of the show! If you own a show dog, and would like to commission me to take photographs at a dog show, please contact me - I would love to hear from you!
Summer Day / Richmond-upon-Thames Dog Photographer
Dog photography in Richmond upon Thames, London and Surrey
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.
London Dog Photographer in Bushy Park, Hampton, Greater London
This was a fun day in the office! Google and Sky were such fun characters, it was a pleasure to work with them and to try and capture a bit of their character. Google, a shar pei-beagle cross had a kind of regal presence, and Sky the lab was full of joy, energy and love for water. Really enjoyed the morning photographing these two in action in gorgeous Bushy Park and then capturing some relaxing moments at home. I love the family portait!
