This varies by breed and size, but many dogs are considered seniors from around seven years old onwards.

That's absolutely fine. Sessions are planned around your dog's comfort and energy levels, with plenty of time for rest breaks.

Yes. Senior dog photography sessions often include partners, children and other pets.

I am based in the beautiful Surrey Hills AONB but offer senior dog photography sessions across Surrey, London and the South East.

I cover West and South West London including the following areas: Richmond-upon-Thames, Twickenham, St Margaret’s, Kew, Teddington, Hampstead, Kingston-upon-Thames, Barnes, Wimbledon, Fulham, Kensington, Chelsea, Paddington, Earl’s Court.

I also cover South London locations such as Dulwich, Peckham, Wandsworth, Balham, Battersea, Putney, Tooting and Greenwich.

I offer family photography in Central London, and have photographed families in some of London’s iconic sites like the Southbank, St James’ Park, Hyde Park, St Paul’s Catherdral.

I also cover most of Surrey including Guildford, Godalming, Dorking, Reigate, Cobham, Esher, Byfleet, Virginia Water, Horsham.

I also cover West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent other parts of the South East.

I am available for hire to locations outside of the areas listed above, subject to schedule availability and additional travel fees.

Yes, we can have your senior dog photography session outdoors!

This could be in your dog’s home back garden or on location.

I photograph outdoors in all weather (except heavy rain and storms) and at different times of year. Don’t be afraid of a winter photo shoot or a light rain. The light is softer which means less squinting :)

You are welcome to include your family and any pets that you have! Family photo sessions typically include parents with their children, pets and occasionally grandparents. You are welcome to invite your extended family, but please get in touch to discuss the group size.

Oh! The Great British weather. Always keeping us on our toes, even in the hight of summer!

I try to stick to the date of our agreed photo session, even if the weather is bad. I may offer a different time slot, or an option to move the photoshoot indoors. If these options are not avaialble, then I will suggest we rearrange for a different day.

Yes of course, I will try to accomodate you and reschedule for the soonest available date.

Similarly, if I am ill I will get in touch to re-arrange our session.

Before our photoshoot, we will discuss possible locations and agree when and where to meet.

I recommend arranging to meet in the morning, parks & public spaces queiter, and roads emptier than later in the day.

My senior dog photo sessions are roughly 2h long. I sometimes finish slightly earlier if I feel like we covered a lot, but sometimes it may take a little longer than 2h. If your dog has mobility issues or is approaching end-od-life, I am more than happy to extend the session or create a tailored package which will suit you and your pet.

The most important thing is to feel comfortable, and to feel like yourself. The choice of your outfit will differ, depending what we do on the day of the photoshoot. For example, you may choose a casual outfit if we are meeting in one of London’s parks, but decide to wear activewear if we arrange to meet on a walk in Surrey. I would recommend that you think about colours, and that you complement each other rather than wear contrasting colours. If you would like to wear something colourful, think about how you can introduce that colour(s) into the whole family so you look consistent. I will send you a Photography Guide before our session which will have more information about what to wear, and a Pinterest mood board with some examples.

Two weeks after your photo session, I will send you a link to a private, password-protected gallery where you will be able to view your photographs, and make your selection.

Once the final invoice has been paid, your digital files will be sent within 24h, unless I am unavailable which I will let you know in advance by email.

My photography style is a mixture of documentary-style photography, portrait photography and action photography, all combined to create natural looking images which tell the story of your family.

I like to do most work in camera, and keep editing to a minimum. I do exposure, tone and colour correction, some photoshopping but try to keep it at a minimum.

I photograph in colour only. When I edit the photographs, I convert a small selection of photos from your photoshoot into black & white. Therefore, the final collection of images will contain most photographs in colour, with the selected few in black & white.

Depending whether you opt in or out! Before our photo session, I will send you my standard Terms & Conditions, which contains some information on Copywrite and permission. You can then decide whether you feel comfortable for your photographs to be used or not. As a general rule, I keep my clients names anonymous, and only use general terms for naming photographs and writing blog posts.

Yes. I offer dedicated end-of-life photography sessions for families whose pets have received a terminal diagnosis.
