Pet Photoshoot FAQs
We want your pet to feel as comfortable as they can, so familiarity is essential. Bringing along their favourite blanket or bed if possible is fab if they need a rest mid way. Their favourite toy is another great option, but also a great distraction as something to get their attention to look where we need them to. Treats are a fab reward and encouragement (great bribery as well!)
If we’re going on a dog walk, you just need to bring the essentials you would take for any other dog walk (poop bags, lead, water etc), but with the option of their toy and some extra treats. Please ensure their collar and any other accessories are as you would want them to be in the final images.
If you’re booked in for an equine photoshoot, please ensure that their head wear and any other garments are clean. If you have it, a bucket with treats in makes a great distraction.
Please note that with cat photoshoots I can come to your home.
Look at these portrait photographs as an investment, one you will want to hang on your walls, display in frames or save in an album to look at and show off time and time again. If you’re planning on being in the photographs as well, remember that less is often more, and as much as I love vibrant colours, huge amount of patterns or large logos can distract from the subject’s face, and often lead to ‘clashes’, so try to keep these to a minimum. At the same time, don’t feel you all have to wear the exact same outfit as long as they harmonise. Have a look at my portraits gallery for examples.
Please ensure any collars and any other accessories are as you would want them to be in the final images.
A £50 booking fee is required at the time of your booking which will be deducted from your package price, with the remaining package fee required no later than the day of your photoshoot. Any additional products you would like to purchase require payment at the time of order. You can see the full list of packages and gorgeous wall art products here.
With portraiture, I like to keep the colours as close to what they are on the day we meet, but I like to add a fine art finishing touch to them, creating a timeless and traditional feel. I won’t be positioning your pets into unnatural poses but instead I want to bring out their characters so you remember them as they are, kooky little traits and all.
Absolutely not! I send you a questionnaire prior to your photoshoot to find out all about who is taking part in your photoshoot.
No, I love all animals and have photographed horses, bunnies and even lizards! I will also send a questionnaire out before your shoot so I can get to know you and your pet before their shoot.Â
What Clients Say
Testimonials
Julia has the patience of a saint when photographing animals and she produced some amazing photos of our dog when we went to her studio. I would highly recommend.
– JacquiJulia is fantastic to work with and so professional and nothing is too much trouble. She kindly came and photographed a litter of pups for us (so a LOT of patience was needed) It was such a calm and enjoyable experience. Thanks again Julia.
– SuzanneJulia took photos of our cats; She got some beautiful shots and even won awards with some of them. She was so patient with them all and they loved posing for her. I decided to get more pictures of our new kitten and our Bulldogs. The kitten was so well behaved, then came the Bulldogs who decided they loved her so much that they both dived on her smothering her with slobber kisses. She took it all in her stride and was amazing with them. I will definitely get her back.
– TraceyWe couldn’t have chosen a better photographer than Julia; she is amazing and I would highly recommend her. She was amazing with our dog who doesn’t usually like people but he warmed to Julia immediately. She listened to what we wanted and then exceeded our expectations. The only problem is choosing from so many outstanding photos.
