Outdoor Dog Photography Sessions

 

Natural adventures with the dog you love

Why choose an outdoor dog photography session?


Every walk is an adventure, and some of life’s best moments happen outdoors. Whether your dog loves exploring woodland trails, splashing through streams or simply walking by your side, outdoor sessions capture their personality naturally in the places they love most.



The result is a beautiful collection of images that celebrate your dog’s character and the bond you share.

Session details


Outdoor sessions typically last around 60–90 minutes and take place at one of my carefully selected woodland locations in the North East, chosen for their beautiful scenery and wonderful light.


If you have a favourite walk that holds special memories, I'm always happy to discuss alternative locations.

A few common questions answered...

 

How do I book a photo session with you?

How long does it take to receive the final photos?

From the shot to your artwork being delivered takes 6-8 weeks.

Can I order prints or artwork after my session?

Yes, collections or individual pieces are available for you ot purchase and display your favourite images for many years to come.

What if my dog won't sit still?

Don't worry, this is the is the question that I get asked the most by worried owners. Your dog does not have to sit still or even sit! They just need to be still for the opening and closing of a shutter. But if you would like to simply practice using a treat at home.

Can I be in the photographs?

Absolutely! I love capturing that connection between people and their dogs but don't worry it's not mandatory.

My dog can't be off the lead

Not a problem, your dog can remain on the lead. Leads can be edited out but collars will always be left on.

What if my dog is nervous?

The safety and happiness of your dog is my number one priority. Sessions are taken at your dogs pace, they are never rushed or hurried.

What do I need to bring with me?

If there are any toys or specific treats that your dog loves please bring them with you, but keep them under wraps until they are needed.

Is there parking?

Yes both outdoor locations have plenty of parking.

What my clients say…


I was absolutely thrilled with my outdoor photoshoot for me, my partner and our dog Darcy. The photos made me feel really emotional, we had them taken in our favourite spot to walk and they look like how I imagine Darcy when I think of her.


The shoot itself was fun and natural, I didn’t want super posed images but just us in our happy place and it’s absolutely been captured.



These are photos I’ll have for a lifetime, thank you so much for giving me a gift I’ll have forever.
