Dog Portrait Photography | East Grinstead

Absolutely! I offer historical dog portraits where your pet is transformed into a regal figure straight out of a classical painting. Whether you envision them as an 18th-century noble, a Victorian gentleman, or a Renaissance queen, I create a custom portrait that reflects their unique personality.

These portraits start with a professional photoshoot at my studio, where I capture the perfect expression and pose. I then digitally paint their portrait into a beautifully styled period piece, ensuring every detail—from the textures of the clothing to the richness of the background—feels like an authentic work of art.

If you’d love to see your dog reimagined as a historical icon, get in touch to book a session.

Of course. Senior dogs and dogs with disabilities hold a special place in our hearts, and I’ll make sure the session is tailored to their needs. Whether that means extra breaks, comfortable posing, or keeping them in a familiar position, we’ll work together to create beautiful portraits that celebrate them.

Yes! While I keep props minimal, I do have a few simple accessories available. If you have a particular theme in mind—whether it’s seasonal, elegant, or something fun—let me know, and we can plan a session that reflects your vision.

While my dedicated dog photography sessions are just for dogs, you’re welcome to bring your dog along to any family or portrait session if you’d like them included in your images. Just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly and make sure everything runs smoothly!

Yes! I have a selection of simple backdrops to create a timeless look, as well as textured and darker backgrounds for a more dramatic feel. If you have a preference, just let me know.

Most sessions last around 20 minutes, but I always allow extra time if needed. Some dogs settle quickly, while others take a little longer to relax, and that’s absolutely fine!  Some dogs, on the other hand, quickly get bored and overwhelmed so I always work with your pet’s personality to make sure we get the best images in the most comfortable way possible.

I recommend bringing their favourite treats, a toy they love, and anything that makes them feel at ease. If they have a special collar, bandana, or accessory you’d like included in the photos, feel free to bring that along too!

Absolutely! Puppy sessions are a wonderful way to capture those adorable early months. Whether they’re full of energy or still finding their feet, I tailor the session to suit their personality and keep it fun and stress-free.

Every dog is different, and I always take a gentle, patient approach to make sure nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable. We can take things at their pace, using treats, toys, and plenty of reassurance to help them relax. There’s no pressure—if they need time to settle, we’ll give them that.

Absolutely! Bringing your dog’s favourite toy or some treats can be a great way to keep them engaged and comfortable during the session. If they have a special blanket or accessory you’d like to include, feel free to bring that along too. The goal is to capture their personality, so anything that makes them feel at ease is welcome.

I have a range of props and accessories available for your dog’s session, but feel free to bring along anything that reflects their personality, such as their favourite blanket, toy, or collar.

Yes, you can! Let me know in advance so I can prepare the studio and plan the session accordingly to accommodate up to two dogs. I absolutely can have more dogs than that in the studio at one time but we’d need to book that under a family portrait session (and it would probably be smart to bring along more dog wrangling hands!)

Don’t worry—dogs can be unpredictable, and I have plenty of experience working with all kinds of temperaments. The session will be relaxed, and I’ll use toys, treats, and patience to capture their personality.

The dog photography portrait service is exclusively for your fur baby but of course you can get photos with your dog if you book a full portrait session. This will allow you to mix and match family groups and get photos with your dog as well as them on their own. Find out more about booking a full portrait session here

Before your session, make sure your dog is well-fed, has had some exercise, and is comfortable. Bring along their favourite treats or toys to help grab their attention during the shoot.
