Step 01

 

Secure Your Spot

Pick your date and get it locked in! Once you've selected your package and paid the retainer fee (deducted from the final payable amount) , it will be officially on the calendar. You'll receive an email confirmation and we can get started.


Step 02

 

Tailor the Experience

Before the camera comes out of the bag, I'll send over a quick questionnaire. This helps me learn all about your pet's unique personality, their favourite treats, any triggers we should avoid, and the exact look you want for your photos.


Step 03

 

Show Time!

The fun part. We will meet at your chosen location for a stress free session. I work entirely at your pets pace to ensure they feel comfortable during our time together.

Step 04

 

Pick Your Favourites

Within 7 days of the shoot, You will receive an email with an invitation to view your private gallery. This is a collection of softly edited images from our day. You’ll get to browse through them and pick your favourites to undergo my signature retouching process.


Step 05

 

The Grand Reveal

The moment you have been waiting for! Within 7 days of you choosing your favourites, you will receive an email informing you that your final images are complete and ready for you to download, share, and even print. All of this is available within your private gallery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my dog gets sick?

Some things can't be avoided and this is one of them. I will simply offer you a reschedule date, at no extra charge, within 30 days of the original date.

What if the weather is really bad?

The UK weather is many things, but reliable isn't one of them. I will be keeping an eye on the forecasts and if I feel the weather will be unsafe, I will contact you and we can work on rescheduling the shoot within 30 days of the original date, at no extra cost.

Do you travel for photoshoots?

Yes. I am based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne however I am available wherever you need me to be for your photo shoot. The cost of this service will scale depending on how far away from Newcastle the shoot is taking place. The cost of this will all be included in the invoice and will be transparent.

How long does it take to get our photos?

You will receive your proofing gallery within 7 days of the shoot. Once you have selected your chosen image(s) for the retouching process, it will be within another 7 days for them to be completed and then sent to you via your private gallery. If you have selected many images for the final retouch process, it may take longer however I always aim for 7 days.

Is it possible to add extras to my session package after I have booked it?

Absolutely! It is best to contact me as soon as you can for any additional services and amendments to your session.



Do you offer prints?

Yes. The printing store is all included in your gallery so you are free to browse the different types of print available to you before committing to anything.

Can I be in the photo too?

Yes of course. A dog's bond with its owner is one of the strongest there is. I highly encourage dog owners to get in on the action.



My dog can be anxious around people, is this okay?

Yes, absolutely. If your dog is anxious around new people, I won't rush into things. When we meet, I will give them plenty of time to sniff around and get used to me and my equipment before I even take a shot. We will shoot at a slow pace completely dictated by your dog's comfort level. Your dog's emotional well being is my top priority.



My dog is very energetic and doesn't sit still. Can you still get photos?

Absolutely! I don't expect your dog to work like a professional model so I adjust all of my sessions to the personality of the dog and I work around them. High energy always means great actions shots.



My dog has to stay on a lead, is this okay?

Yes. All leads will be removed in the retouching process.
