Dog Portrait Photography | East Grinstead
Your dog is part of the family. It makes sense that they deserve their own photo shoot.
My dog photography sessions are designed around your pet, not the other way around. The studio is calm, controlled and free from the distractions that make outdoor shoots so unpredictable. Whether your dog is a bouncy social butterfly or the kind who takes a little time to warm up, we work at their pace and let their personality do the rest.
Sessions cost £50 and include all of your edited images at print quality – no choosing, no extras, just everything.



From Floof to Fine Art


“You, my friend, belong in a museum” — and now they actually can be.
Floof to Fine Art is a bit different. I take your dog’s portrait from the session and transform it into a historical-style digital artwork – think old master painting, Victorian aristocrat, Regency gentleman. Your dog, rendered in oils (digitally speaking), looking every bit as important as they clearly believe they are.
It’s playful, personal and makes for a piece of wall art that stops people in their tracks. Available as a standalone or added on to your session. Just let me know when you book.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Here are the ones I hear most often about dog photography sessions. If yours isn’t here, just get in touch.

Yes. We offer historical dog portraits that reimagine your dog as a character inspired by classical paintings, such as an 18th-century noble, a Victorian gentleman, or a Renaissance-style figure.
The process begins with a professional photo session in our studio to capture the right expression and pose. We then digitally paint the final portrait, carefully styling the clothing, textures, and background to create a finished piece that feels like a traditional work of art while still reflecting your dog’s personality.

Absolutely. Senior dogs and dogs with disabilities are very welcome in our studio, and sessions are always planned around their comfort and wellbeing.
We’ll work at your dog’s pace, with plenty of breaks, gentle handling, and poses that feel natural and supported for them. That might mean photographing them lying down, staying close to you, or keeping things short and calm. Our focus is always on creating lovely portraits without causing stress or discomfort.
If you have any concerns or specific needs, we’ll talk them through in advance so the session feels safe, relaxed, and right for your dog.

Yes. We keep styling simple and understated, but we do offer lightly themed dog portraits where it suits your dog and the overall feel you’re looking for.
That might be something seasonal, subtly playful, or gently styled rather than heavily costumed. We focus on keeping your dog comfortable and relaxed, using minimal accessories and clean setups so the final images still feel classic and centred on your dog, not the props.
If you have an idea in mind, we can talk it through before your session and decide what will work best for your dog’s personality.
While our 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 us know in advance so we can plan accordingly and make sure everything runs smoothly!

Yes. We have a small, carefully chosen range of studio backgrounds designed to keep the focus on your dog.
These include clean, simple backdrops for a classic look, as well as darker or more textured options if you’d like something a little more dramatic. If you have a preference, just let us know and we’ll guide you towards what will suit your dog’s colouring and personality best.

Most dog photography sessions last around 20 minutes, but we always allow extra time if it’s needed.
Some dogs settle quickly and are happy to work straight away, while others need a little time to relax and get used to the studio. Equally, some dogs prefer short bursts before they get bored. We work entirely at your dog’s pace, adjusting the session to suit their personality so we get the best possible images without stress.

We recommend bringing your dog’s favourite treats and a toy they love, as these really help them feel relaxed and engaged during the session.
If your dog has a special collar, bandana, or small accessory you’d like included in the photos, you’re very welcome to bring that along too. Other than that, there’s nothing special you need: we’ll take care of the rest.

Absolutely! Puppy sessions are a lovely way to capture those early months. We tailor each session to suit your puppy’s age, energy levels, and personality, keeping things relaxed, gentle, and stress-free.
Whether your puppy is full of beans or still finding their confidence, we work at their pace to capture natural, character-filled portraits.

That’s absolutely okay, and many dogs are. We take a calm, patient approach and always work at your dog’s pace so they feel safe and comfortable.
There’s no pressure to perform. We can take breaks, stay close to you, use treats or toys, and give your dog as much time as they need to settle. Some of the loveliest portraits come from quiet, gentle moments once a dog realises there’s nothing to worry about.

Yes. We have a small range of props and accessories available for dog photography sessions. You’re also very welcome to bring along anything that reflects your dog’s personality, such as a favourite blanket, toy, collar, or even a special outfit.

Yes. Please let us know in advance so we can prepare the studio and plan the session. Dog photography sessions can accommodate up to two dogs. If you’d like to bring more than two, this would need to be booked as a full portrait session, and it’s a good idea to bring an extra pair of hands to help on the day.

That’s completely normal. Dogs can be unpredictable, and there’s no pressure for them to behave in a certain way. We have plenty of experience working with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Sessions are kept calm and relaxed, with breaks if needed, and we’ll use toys, treats, patience, and gentle encouragement to work at your dog’s pace.
Often, it’s those unplanned moments that show their true personality, and that’s exactly what we aim to capture.

Before your session, make sure your dog is well fed, has had some exercise, and is feeling comfortable. Bringing along their favourite treats or a toy can also help grab their attention during the session.

We kindly ask that you don’t take photos or videos during your session. Your booking includes our time, skill, and copyright, and recording in the studio can interrupt the flow of your shoot. If anyone is seen filming or photographing, the session will need to be stopped and will end without refund, and that’s not a situation any of us want to be in. Please relax, enjoy the experience, and let us take care of creating the images for you.
