🍂 📸 🐶 AUTUMN MINI SESSIONS 🐶 📸 🍂

We’re delighted to announce the first few dates of our pet portrait mini sessions for this autumn season!

We have very limited spaces for the dates coming up in October, with more to follow soon in November.

Your dogs are your family and we want to celebrate them with you by producing beautiful portraits for you to cherish for years to come. Whether it’s a playful pup, or a more relaxed senior we’ve photographed them all and everyone gets the same love and attention that they deserve.

You don’t need to have a professional dog model either, we shoot almost every dog on a lead with you standing right beside them. We’ll guide you through how to pose them, how to position yourself, and our shoots typically take the form of a short walk to add variety to the gallery as well as make it fun for your dog.

We’d love to see you at one of our sessions.

We’ll be at the following locations:

Sunday 11th October - Antrim Castle Gardens, Antrim

Saturday 24th October - St Columb's Park, L'derry

Sunday 25th October - Ormeau Park, Belfast

Sessions are priced at just £40 for each 20 minute shoot, and we can accommodate up to 2 dogs per session (with 2 handlers in attendance).
Families are more than welcome to join in and we love seeing owners in front of the camera, we have a long history of wedding and family photography in addition to pets so we’re right at home photographing people too.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have, and please tell us about your dogs. We love seeing photos and hearing about them ahead of meeting them.

Ormeau Park Pet Portrait Sessions - 8th & 9th August

It’s been a minute since we last photographed in Ormeau Park, but it’s one of our favourite spots in the City Of Belfast and if you’re from the city you’ll know how popular it is with dog owners.

We’ll be bringing our usual easy going, relaxed style of pet photography to Ormeau over 2 days, with a choice of evening and morning sessions to make the most of the best light available and suit a wider range of dog owners.

Owners and families are absolutely welcome to get involved, and we love doing family portraits with the whole family involved!

Sessions are 20 minutes long and cost just £40, click the link for full details

Hi guys, just throwing up a quick model call for anyone with a Dalmatian…pup, older dog or anything in between, who’d love a free shoot and beautiful gallery of images in exchange for their time.
Share this post if you can to spread the word, or tag your friends if they’re Dalmatian owners.
Many thanks 🙏🏻

Tongue out Tuesday (2 out of 3 anyway 😂)
Let’s see the photos of your pups with their tongues out too!
And don’t forget we have charity mini sessions in Derry this weekend coming up. They’re only £20 and are to help raise funds for Friends Of Rescue to help with their recent vet bills.

We’d really appreciate any shares or tags you guys could give for this post to help throw a bit of attention towards this fundraiser for Friends Of Rescue.

If you’d love the chance to win a portrait session with us while supporting a great cause this is for you. Buy a number or two if you can, and share the post with your friends to help spread the word!

As a pet photographer I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some amazing dogs and families, but these were a special bunch…
The Duddy family have been friends of ours for years, and as is life unfortunately, we’ve been able to photograph their pack in a couple of it’s incarnations so to be asked to do it again means a lot to us.
It’s hard to argue against how striking they are with a beautiful Poodle, a handsome black Lab, and a fabulously charismatic Glen Of Imaal Terrier.
I can’t wait to share more photos of these guys with you all, and be sure to check our stories for some before and after edits of these photos. We photograph almost all dogs on a lead for your reassurance and their safety with it being removed at the editing stage to leave us with beautiful images with nothing distracting from them.
If you’d love a professional pet portrait session of your own we’d love to hear from you. Drop us a message with some details of your dog(s) and let us tell you what we can do to deliver you beautiful images like these.
We have an announcement about an upcoming day of pet portrait mini sessions in the Ness Woods just outside L’Derry, so if you’re in the area we’d love to see you there.
