If you're looking for a photographer who'll capture your pet's personality naturally and beautifully — you're in the right place. I'm David, and I offer two ways to make it happen: vibrant studio sessions at my home, complete with colourful backdrops and fun props, or relaxed outdoor shoots in your favourite local spots. Whatever suits you and your furry friend best.

Hi, I'm David



I've always believed the best pet photos are the ones that capture the real them — the goofy, the scruffy, the totally-not-listening. I'm not there to force awkward poses or stress anyone out (pets or owners!). Whether we're in my studio with bright backdrops and fun props, or out in the fresh air where your pet can just be themselves, I work entirely at their pace. Got an excitable pup who won't sit still? A very opinionated senior dog? Perfect. I've got you covered.


 

What You Can Expect


YOUR PET, BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURED

 

YOUR PET, YOUR WAY


No two pets are the same, and no two sessions are either. Whether you want bold, colourful studio shots with props and backdrops, or relaxed outdoor portraits where your pet can roam freely — or a mix of both — I'll work entirely around you and your animal. You're in control, I'm just there to capture them.

Nothing Gets Missed


From the zoomies to the quiet moments, the cheeky side-eye to the perfect sit (if it happens!), I work patiently and calmly so your pet barely notices the camera. No stiff poses, no stress — just natural moments as they unfold.

Memories Worth Keeping


Great pet photography isn't just about a nice shot — it's the personality, the quirks, the look they give you that only you truly know. I'm there to make sure all of it is captured, beautifully and honestly, in images you'll treasure for life.

Planning tips & FAQ

What sessions do you offer?

I offer two types of pet portrait session. The Pet Portrait Session (from £45) is a short, relaxed 25-minute shoot at my home studio, with a choice of colourful backdrops and props. The Outdoor Pet Portrait Session (from £60) is an on-location session of up to an hour, taken in a natural setting of your choice — perfect for action shots, candid moments, and pets who love the great outdoors.


Where is the studio?

The studio is based at my home in the Greater Manchester.


Where do outdoor sessions take place?

Outdoors sessions can take place at a location that suits you and your pet — a favourite park, a woodland walk, a local beach. If you're not sure where, I'm happy to suggest some great spots in the area.

Which session is right for my pet?

If your pet is easily distracted, very energetic, or just loves being outside, the outdoor session is usually a great fit. If you'd love bold, colourful portraits with a more polished look, the studio session is ideal. Not sure? Drop me a message and I'll help you decide.

How much does it cost?

Studio sessions start from £45 and outdoor sessions start from £60. These prices include 2 professionally edited digital images delivered via a private online gallery. Additional images, artwork, and canvas prints are available to purchase if you'd like more.

How long does a pet portrait session take?

Most pet portrait sessions take around 30 minutes. The aim is to keep things quick and relaxed so your dog stays comfortable and engaged. Some sessions may run a little longer depending on the package and how cooperative your dog feels on the day.

Where do the pet photoshoots take place?

Sessions can take place in the home studio using a selection of colourful backdrops, or outdoors if you would prefer a more natural setting. In some cases sessions can also be arranged at your location depending on distance.

What should I bring to the session?

Bringing treats, a favourite toy, or anything that helps get your dog’s attention is always helpful. These small things often make it easier to capture natural expressions and playful moments.

How soon will we get our photos?

You'll receive a sneak peek selection within 48 hours — because we know you won't want to wait! Your full gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks.

How are the photos delivered?

All photos are delivered digitally via a private online gallery, which you can view, download, and share with family and friends however you like.

What if my dog will not sit still?

That is completely normal. The sessions are designed to be relaxed and patient, allowing your dog to move around and settle naturally. Often the best photos happen in between moments rather than when everything is perfectly posed.

Can you photograph more than one dog?

Yes. If you have more than one dog they are very welcome to join the session. Depending on the number of dogs and the type of photos you would like, a longer or custom session may work best.

What happens if my dog is nervous or shy?

That is completely fine. The sessions are designed to be calm and relaxed so your dog has time to get comfortable. Taking things slowly usually helps bring out their natural personality in the photos.

What's included in the price?

Both sessions include 2 professionally edited digital images, delivered via a private online gallery so you can view, download, and share them easily. If you'd like more images — or would love your favourites turned into artwork or a canvas print — there are options to add these on.


Can I buy more than 2 images?

Absolutely. After your session you'll be able to view all your edited images in your private gallery and choose any additional ones you'd like to purchase. Artwork and canvas options are also available if you'd like something to hang on the wall.

Do you photograph pets other than dogs?

Yes! Cats and other pets are very welcome. Just mention what animal you have when you get in touch so we can make sure the session is set up to suit them.


How do I book?

Just get in touch via the contact form or message me directly. I'll get back to you to discuss which session suits you best, check availability, and get everything confirmed.
