Your Dog Deserves More Than Just a Photo Shoot: Why the Experience Matters as Much as the Images
Every time I finish a Pre-session Consultation Call for one of my upcoming London dog photography sessions, I am full of excitement for the day of the shoot to arrive. Not because we've locked in a location or discussed the perfect lighting, but because I've already fallen a little bit in love with their dog and can’t wait to meet them.
It happens a lot. By the time I meet many of my clients in person, their dog is already relaxed around me, and the human is visibly relieved. By the end of the session, I’m often called The Dog Whisperer (a name I continuously intend to reclaim.) But the secret to me proudly stating that I am “every dog’s best friend” is the simple fact I took the time to understand their dog before I ever picked up my camera…
Your Puppy’s First Year Starts Here…
The first part of the year has been puppy heaven for me! I have photographed so many dogs under a year old, and I’m not going to lie, it has me super broody to bring home a sibling for Theo.
The moment you bring a puppy home, something shifts. There's joy in the chaos, warmth in the mess, and love in every sleepy cuddle. Those early morning wake-ups and tiny accidents on the carpet are balanced by heart-melting moments that make it all worthwhile.
But puppyhood moves fast. Faster than most new pet parents realize. Those tiny paws will soon be fully grown, that baby-soft fur will change, and that adorable awkwardness will transform into confident adulthood. Weeks blur into months, and you're wondering where your little one went before you know it.
