Before our shoot, we can discuss your vision and create a mood board. It's like a visual plan with lighting, posing, and outfit ideas to make sure we're on the same page creatively.

If your dog doesn't sit still or misbehaves during the photo session, there's no need to worry – it's completely normal! Dogs, like humans, have their own unique personalities and energy levels, and it's not uncommon for them to feel excited or distracted in new environments.
As a professional photographer, I have experience working with dogs of all temperaments and behaviours. I approach each session with patience, understanding, and flexibility to ensure a positive experience for both you and your furry friend.
If your dog is particularly energetic or easily distracted, we can incorporate playful activities or use toys and treats to capture their attention and encourage them to focus. Alternatively, we can embrace their natural energy and capture candid moments that showcase their personality.
The most important thing is to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for you and your dog.
