Why are these sessions Limited Edition?Floral photos are extremely popular amongst pet parents, and I don't blame you! They add such a beautiful element to any portrait of your pup. However, certain flowers, of course, only grow in certain locations during a select few months of the year, so this means I only have a very short window to take these photos. Not only that, we do not want to damage the flowers as they appear, so there are only a few Seasonal Sessions available per season to keep the impact of our session to a minimum. To avoid disappointment, I would suggest signing up to the mailing list so that you will be the first to know which dates these sessions will be available!

What if my dog is a wiggle bum and won't sit still long enough?I promise you, this question is on almost every dog owner's mind! And it is no problem at all! Having had a few puppies under my lens, I am very familiar with the regular fidget bottom. Not only do treats and noises help, but the magic of photoshop is also at my fingertips to help capture those perfectly posed images. First of all, I only need a split second to get the shot I'm after so the chances are I'll capture the perfect shot within a few moments of waggling tempting treats in front of the camera. However, your session is all about your dog being your dog. There is absolutely ZERO pressure for them to sit still at all! If they are not comfortable, we will move on or try again later. Secondly, your dog will be on a leash to help pop them into the best position and I will direct you through the best ways to do this. Their lead will then be removed on any photos you select during your design appointment. (see how this works here)

My dog is a bit nervous. Can I still have a photo session?Absolutely! We all know that new environments, new people, loud noises are not everyone's cup of tea. Even more so for a dog! What helps most is knowing what makes the world big and scary and planning well in advance. Before your session you will be filling in a questionnaire and I will also be contacting you to find out your dog's dislikes, likes and loves. If they are not comfortable with busy spaces, sounds, other dogs & children we will conduct your session in a quieter spot where we can take a bit more time to get those photos that you will cherish. I also have a lovely camera lens which means that I can give your furry bestie all the personal space that they need. If you have any further questions, my phone line is open so please give me a call to talk more about anything you're worried about: 07552 676 104

It looks like it's going to rain! What will happen?Hello world famous British weather! We are, of course, graced with endless soggy days that are not always predictable. These are unfortunately out of our control, but it does not mean we can not have your photoshoot. Whilst your session will still be possible to go ahead if it's only lightly drizzling, I will be keeping an eagle eye on the weather on the run up to your big day. If it looks like rain is inevitable, I will be in touch to see if you'd still like to go ahead or if you'd prefer to reschedule. I also welcome a challenge! Soggy doggies often have a lot of fun and we can still get some fantastic images on a wet day. So if you're still game to shoot in the rain, so am I!
