Bespoke shoot

A bespoke pet shoot is just that: customised to you. You choose the date, time and location. If I haven't shot at your location before, I'll visit it in advance, and work out the best spots to take your dog's portraits.

I limit the number of bespoke shoots that I book, to ensure flexibility and a first-rate service. Yours will be the only shoot that I book on your scheduled date – enabling us to work around the weather, and make the most of the best natural light. The shoot is lasts for up to 1.5 hours and, if time permits, can be spread across a couple of locations.

After the shoot, you receive a proofing gallery of up to 40 images, from which you choose your favourites. If you would like to purchase wall art, I design mock-ups to help you visualise how your images will look in your home.

Mini shoot

A pet mini shoot takes place on a date, and at a location, chosen by me. It lasts for 25 minutes, and usually takes place against one backdrop. It is suitable for up to two dogs from the same family, and works best if your dog is responsive to basic commands, and comfortable around new people.

After your mini shoot, you receive a proofing gallery of around 10-15 images. Your session fee includes three high-resolution digital downloads and matching 8x6" photographic prints. If you would like to purchase more than your three included images, there is the option to do so.

A pet mini shoot is ideal if you have a smaller budget, or would like a small number of images to update your walls.

Pet mini shoots usually take place within 30 minutes’ drive of Ilminster, Somerset – TA19. The general location will be advertised when the sessions are made available for booking, and the precise location confirmed upon booking.

When booking a mini-shoot day, I also pencil in a back-up date in case of bad weather. I will notify you of this date on booking, and if it rains heavily, your booking will transfer to the same slot on the back-up day.

If the forecast is for light rain/showers, it may be possible to proceed on the original date. I will keep an eye on the weather in the run-up to the shoot, and let you know if we are going to proceed.

In a word: no! I can (and do) remove leads from images in post production. My session preparation guide will contain more detailed advice on this.

A few days after you book your mini shoot, I will send you a guide on what to expect from the session, and how to prepare for it.

If your dog is nervous or reactive, please contact me prior to booking and we can discuss whether a mini shoot will be suitable.

Due to the shorter length of these shoots, the sessions are for pets only.

I aim to have your images ready to view within two weeks of the shoot date. If you need the images sooner than this, please let me know when booking your shoot.
