Most dogs don’t need to be off-lead to create beautiful, natural photographs.

For outdoor dog photoshoots in London — especially in areas such as Mayfair, Westminster, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye, Hyde Park, Chelsea, Richmond Park, and Notting Hill — dogs are required to remain on a lead for safety and in line with local regulations.

My approach is always calm, patient, and led by your dog.
There’s no pressure for them to behave in a certain way — we simply work with who they are.

To ensure your final portraits feel completely natural, I carefully remove the lead during the retouching process.
The result is a set of images that feel relaxed, honest, and true to your dog — without distraction.

Some of my most beautiful work has been with dogs who needed time. My approach on every session — anxious or not — is to begin with a slow walk. I'll walk beside you for however long it takes, gently ignoring your dog, letting them set the pace entirely.

I've spent years working with rescue dogs who had every reason not to trust. That training never leaves a session. If your dog needs twenty minutes, we take twenty minutes. The camera waits."

While dogs are my great love, I photograph all companion animals — cats, rabbits, horses — with the same patience and care. Get in touch and tell me about your animal; we'll talk through what's possible.

Sessions typically book four to eight weeks in advance, particularly around the golden hour windows in spring and autumn. If you have a date in mind, it's worth reaching out sooner rather than later — I keep a small waitlist for cancellations too.

We reschedule, simply and without fuss. Good light matters more than a fixed date. I'll always be honest with you about conditions — if the morning looks flat or wet, I'd rather move than compromise your images.

London offers an incredible variety of locations — from quieter, tucked-away corners to some of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

We can photograph in areas such as Mayfair, The City of London and Bank, Westminster, St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Hyde Park, Notting Hill, Chelsea, The Royal Exchange, and along the River Thames — each bringing a different feel to your session.

For those drawn to something more recognisable, we can create portraits against some of London’s most iconic backdrops, allowing your dog to be part of the city in a way that feels natural and unforced.

Every location is carefully chosen to suit your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable, while still creating something visually striking.
