Dog Photography
Covering the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire
Hi I'm Emma, a professional dog photographer and huge animal lover based in Wombourne.
I specialise in relaxed, colourful and emotive photography of your furry friends!
Dogs are much loved members of the family and creating memories of them to treasure and look back on is so important, so if you'd like beautiful imagery of your best friend you're in the right place.
My Style and Approach
A photoshoot is an enjoyable experience for both you and your dog I promise!
How can I know that for sure? Well keep reading...
My photography style is relaxed and emotive meaning there won't be lots of posing, I will make suggestions and give direction on where it is best for your dog to be positioned in certain locations, but ultimately I will capture whatever is in front of me. I completely understand different dogs have varying obedience and energy levels so the main priority is keeping them happy and engaged. This includes keeping your dog on a lead if need be as I can easily remove this in post production. If you choose to be in the photos with your dog and aren't the biggest fan of the camera you need not worry, my favourite prompt is getting you to interact with your dog which always helps people relax.
I create vibrant and colourful photos. My favourite location is a forest or park where there is lots of greenery and if I'm really lucky some beautiful flowers. Being out in nature is always an enjoyable place to be and photographing in a location your dog is familiar with is always a great idea as they are confident and comfortable with their surroundings.

Your Photoshoot Day
How it works - A guide to your dog photoshoot
Step 1
Preparing for your photoshoot
I know a lot of people get nervous ahead of their photoshoot about what will happen and what if their dog isn't too cooperative, but I am here to settle those nerves! Honestly you have nothing to worry about, I have been around animals my whole life so I understand that every dog is different and that all that's needed is a bit of patience. The most important thing is capturing your dog's quirky personality so leave that bit up to me!
Once your date is secured for your photoshoot I will send you a welcome guide. The guide includes some helpful tips on how to get the most out of your photoshoot, from choosing locations, getting your dog ready, what to wear - it's all in there. It's also a great time to think about any specific images you would like of your pet. Take a look through my galleries and let me know which ones are your favourite so I can create something similar for you.
Step 2
The day of your photoshoot
Now for the best part - the day of your photoshoot! I'll meet you at your chosen location, whether that's your home or a local park. Before I start taking photos, I'll spend some time chatting to you and getting to know your dog so that they feel happy and comfortable with me.
Then we will get started taking photos. I take a wide range of images on a photoshoot and always split up the more 'posed' photographs so your dog doesn't have to focus on one thing for too long and stays engaged. If your pet has a favourite spot in your garden or a favourite toy, let me know as these can make the most memorable photos for owners. Whilst photographing I will keep an eye out for settings at your location that would make a great photo. We will have plenty of time during your shoot to have photos of you with your animals if that is something you would like.
At the end of your session, I will show you the print products and wall art I offer so you can have a look in person at the type of products available and decide which ones you love and which will make the most of your favourite photographs.
Step 3
The big reveal
After your photoshoot I will professionally edit your images and have your gallery ready within 2 weeks. The photos will be uploaded to an online private gallery in my website client area for you to view and choose your favourites for whichever print or digital products you have opted for. This is my favourite part of the process as I love hearing your feedback on your photos and finding out which images you love!
Most customers end up purchasing additional photos after seeing their gallery. To see all of my package options and product range have a look below.

FAQs
Still got some questions? Maybe these will help...
What if it rains?
We all know how unpredictable British weather can be so if it's looking like rain on the day of your shoot we can reschedule to a different day, no problem!
Can I have photos with my dog?
Yes of course! I love having owners get involved in the photoshoot. We so rarely get photos with our pets, it's the perfect opportunity for you to get some photos that really capture the relationship you have with your dog.
What if my dog doesn't sit still?
A lot of people worry about this, I have photographed lots of dogs with a wide range of obedience levels and I've gotten beautiful photos of all of them. Fast shutter speed and an eye for the right moment goes a long way!
Can my dog be on a lead?
Yes, this is not a problem at all, the lead can be easily removed from chosen photos.
How do I secure a date?
To secure your photoshoot date, get in touch and we can find a day that suits us both. I then will send you a 25% deposit invoice to hold your chosen date. The remainder of the invoice will be due prior to your dog's photoshoot.
How do I prepare for the photoshoot?
Any questions you have should be answered in the welcome pack that will be sent to you once your date is secured. If you have any extra queries just drop me a message and I will be more than happy to help!
