Frequently Asked Questions

 We offer both mobile studio and location photo sessions to suit your needs. Our mobile studio sessions can be set up in almost any pet-friendly space, using professional lighting and a variety of props and backdrops to create the perfect setting. Location sessions take place outdoors at beautiful spots like woodlands, beaches, or even your dog's favorite place. Every session is customized to capture your dog's unique personality and your preferences. 

Booking a session is easy! You can:

We recommend booking early, as our calendar can fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons.

Studio and location sessions generally last 1 to 2 hours. We never rush the process and always ensure there’s plenty of time for your dog to relax and get comfortable before we begin photographing. Your pet's experience and welfare is just as important as the photos themselves.

We recommend bringing the following to ensure a smooth session:

- Your dog’s favorite toys and treats to keep them engaged and focused

- Any special outfits, collars or accessories you’d like included in the photos

- Plenty of water to keep your dog hydrated, especially for outdoor location shoots

For location sessions, please also bring a lead for your dog’s safety.

Here are a few tips to help ensure a smooth session:

• Exercise: Take your dog for a light walk before the session to burn off any excess energy.
• Grooming: Make sure your dog is clean and well-brushed. If a haircut is needed, it's best to groom them a few days ahead of time, so they look their best without feeling stressed from a same-day appointment.
• Relax: Stay calm and relaxed! Dogs can sense their owner’s energy, so the more at ease you are, the more relaxed your dog will be.

 Absolutely! We encourage owners to join in for a few shots. The bond you share with your dog is unique, and we’d love to capture that special connection. Just let us know in advance if you'd like to be part of the photos! 

Not at all! We work with dogs of all temperaments and are experienced in helping even the most anxious pets feel at ease. We'll go at your dog's pace, allowing plenty of time for breaks and play to keep them relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.

No need to worry! We understand that dogs can be unpredictable, and we’re experienced in working with their natural behaviors. In fact, some of the best photos come from capturing their playful, spontaneous moments. We use a variety of techniques (and plenty of treats!) to keep their attention and get those perfect shots.
