FAQ — Your Questions, Answered With Love and Zero Judgement

My pet doesn’t sit still. Is that a problem?

Not even slightly.
I don’t rely on posing. I rely on connection, patience, and timing. Movement is part of their personality. If they wiggle, zoom, sniff, explore or dance the cha-cha, I’ll work with it. Some of my favourite portraits have happened mid-chaos.

You don’t need a well-trained pet.
You just need a pet you adore.

What if my pet is shy, anxious, or scared of new people?

Then we take it slow. I let them lead.
No forcing, no frustration and no expectations.

Whether they need five minutes or thirty or more, I create a space where they can breathe and feel safe. When they finally decide “okay, you may adore me now”, that’s the moment we celebrate.

Can you photograph my cat?

Absolutely. Every cat session is a collaboration with a tiny furry dictator, and I respect the hierarchy.

Because cats don’t perform…they allow, I follow their rhythm. If they need breaks, they get them. If they decide to give us one glorious, perfect moment, I’ll be ready.

My pet will be on a lead — will that show in the photos?

Leads are completely fine.
Safety always comes first. I remove the lead in post-production if needed.

Where do sessions take place?

Where your pet feels most themselves:

Outdoors: parks, forests, city streets, private gardens
Indoors: your home, my studio, rented spaces

We choose the location based on your pet’s personality and your style.

How long is the session?

There is no stopwatch.
We photograph until we have what tells your story. Most sessions run around 4 hours in all, with time for sniffing, settling, bribing, and occasional existential staring into the void.

What’s included in the Photography Experience?

Your Photography Experience includes:

A pre-session phone consultation
A photography session at a location that feels right for your pet
A same-day design consultation where we review the photographs together

You don’t have to come back another day.
Everything happens in one smooth experience.

Where do the sessions take place?

Wherever your pet feels like themselves.

I photograph pets in the places that matter to them, not in a sterile studio that smells like “unknown dog number twelve.” If your cat rules the house like an overpaid CEO, we shoot at home. If your dog lights up the moment you reach their park, we go there. If there's a corner of your living room where the sunlight pours in and your pet naps like a poet contemplating life, perfect.

Sessions are on-location because comfort equals authenticity. Nervous pets relax faster in familiar spaces and that is where their real personality shows. Your home, your favourite park, your daily walk route — the places that hold meaning for both of you.

No stress or travel crates. Just your pet, being themselves, where they already feel safe and loved.

And if you genuinely prefer a studio session, I’m happy to arrange that as well. Your pet’s comfort is the only rule here.

How much does it cost?

The Photography Experience is £499 and includes:

Your session
Your design consultation
£250 toward the purchase of the photos you fall in love with (albums, wall art, or a Treasure Box)

There are no minimum purchase requirements.
You choose what feels right for you and your story.

Do you offer payment plans?

Absolutely. Flexible payment plans are available.

When do I choose my photos/products?

Right after the session.
We design everything together the same day so you leave knowing exactly what you’re receiving.

What should I bring?

Treats
Favourite toys
Any outfit changes for humans (if we photograph you together)

And a willingness to let your pet be themselves.

Can I be in the photos too?

Yes.
This isn’t just about your pet. It’s about your relationship. The way they look at you is part of their story.

Can you photograph my senior or terminally ill pet?

Yes. And I handle these sessions with particular care. These are not just photos. They are love, gratitude, and presence. If timing matters, I will always do my best to prioritise your session.

Final question… can you handle my diva pet?

Yes.
I work for them anyway.
