Precious Pet Photography
My photography is all about capturing a family as they grow and pets are just as much a part of the family as children. They are amazing additions to our families and my goal is to capture these beautiful creatures each with their own distinctive personality, in my own unique style. I want to capture images that are respectful, timeless and capture the unique beauty of your treasured pets, all while creating a piece of art that you will treasure forever.
For now my focus is on dog portraits, as a specialism, but will look into capturing other pets as demand requires.
Just like any other photo session, we want your lovely dogs to look their absolute best for their session, so I've teamed up with a wonderful professional groomer, Lorri of Sniffs Grooming Spa who will ensure your precious dogs are pampered and pristine for your portraits.
Your Session
~ When to book?
Pet Portraits are available all year round. Non groom sessions can be booked a week in advance. Sessions requiring a groom with Sniffs must be booked with at least 2 weeks notice in order to secure your Professional groom.
~ Where does your session take place?
Your session will take place in a beautoful park or your favourite location within Medway. If you choose a Groom at Sniffs Spa in Gillingham, immediately after the groom, your precious pet can take full advanatge of the beautiful park located behind the spa. For non groom sessions, the location can be discussed at the time of booking but must be in the ME7 or ME8 postcode.
~ How long does a session last?
Each session is 1 hour long, The groom prior to the session can take up to 1 hour for a single dog.
~Whats should I bring?
Please ensure your dog has a secure lead and their favourite toy. I also advise bringing their favourite treat. If you have any accessories you'd like your pet photographed with, please bring them along.
~ What happens during the session?
For non groom sessions we'll meet at the chosen location and get striaght to work capturing beautiful portraits of your beloved pet. We'll capture images of your dog alone, in motion, as well as stunning portraits as a family if you wish. If you choose a groom before, you simply deliver your precious pet to Lorri at Sniffs Grooming Spa at the agreed time, Lorri will then carry out her professional 'show' groom and let me know when it's completed. At this point I'll take over and once you have collected your pet, we'll head to the park to create some stunning portraits of your dog.
~How many people can come along?
All sessions are for up to 2 dogs. Additional dogs can be added for a fee of £55 and all the participants will recieve individual and combined 'group' photos. Family shoots are for a maximum of 6 people.
What if my dog doesn't Co-operate?
To get the best portraits, it helps if you dog has good sit/stay training, but like babies I understand that dogs like to have fun or don't always listen to instructions. I'm very used to working quickly and getting natural portraits you'll treasure.
After your Session
Once your session is over, your images journey isn't over. I'll personally ensure all of your images are artistically edited and finished in my signature style, perfecting around 10-20 of the images that I select as the absolute best, so you can be assured of the highest quality from your session.
Your images will then be uploaded to your viewing gallery around two weeks later to select your favourite images. You will be able to choose your favourite image as a large print, and further print and digital collections will be available to purchse after that. You'll also have the option to purchase stunning wall art, albums and any any other image products you wish.
You'll find that all of my specially selected Fine art products come only from professional labs and selected artisan suppliers that are not available to purchase online.
Please note that I rely on being able to share images of my work to maintain my business and rely on recommendations. With that in mind, I will choose some of my favourite images from your shoot to be shared on social media. You are welcome to tag and share, but I ask that you do no remove my watermark which is in place to protect my copyright. If you prefer not to have your images used on social media, please let us know on the day of your shoot or in writing in advance.
