Pet Photography in the North East
Whether you’re after a studio pet portrait or a relaxed outdoor session, I offer photography that captures the personality and charm of your pet. In the studio, I always recommend bringing your pet for a sniff-around a few days before the shoot. That way, when it’s lights and camera time, they’re more comfortable in the space.
The session itself is led entirely by your pet. Once they’ve had enough, we wrap up. No pressure, no posing stress. It keeps the experience relaxed and the results more natural.
Prefer an outdoor setting? We can head to your pet’s favourite walking spot, a location that holds meaning for you, or somewhere with a more stylised look. The key is choosing a place where your pet feels safe and at ease. That’s why I’ll always chat through location ideas before confirming the booking.
Ruby, our bloody gorgeous Shih Tzu, wasn’t just a dog she was family. She came to work with me four days a week (Fridays were her day off), greeted all visitors, and ruled the studio. Except for the window cleaner. And one particular postie.
Photographing Ruby taught me a lot. Dogs have attention spans like toddlers. You’ve got a five-second window, and treats only go so far. That’s why I work quickly, only when the pet is relaxed and ready. Ruby’s framed portrait has pride of place in our living room. Every pet deserves a moment like that.
Pet photoshoots are fun, fast-paced, and hands-on. But most of all, they’re about teamwork. I bring the photography skills and love for animals. You bring the patience, the toys, and the understanding of your pet’s quirks.
Together, we’ll create images that show the best of your companion their character, their cheekiness, and the bond you share.
