What to Expect on Your Photo Shoot

From our first consultation to your image delivery, your entire experience is focussed on your heart's desire - creating beautiful, personal memories for you to treasure forever

1: Choose your Pawfect

It's so overwhelming to look at all those different photographers and decide which one to choose. I'll make sure you find out everything you want to know before you book, so that you know you've chosen the perfect experience to capture your special memories with your dog. 

I'm always happy to Give You A Paw with a complimentary, no-obligation call to find out what you'd like to achieve, go through the options and make sure you've chosen the right photo shoot type for you. 

Limited Edition Sessions

Choose from pre-selected dates & themes, and book and pay for your Limited Edition Session online

All Inclusive Experiences

Reserve your chosen date via my online diary ready to discuss your fully customisable All Inclusive Photo Shoot Experience. Your date will be provisionally held for 7 days

Limited Edition Sessions, which take place on fixed dates, can be easily booked online, whereas All Inclusive Experiences work on a reservation system linked to my availability.

When I receive your initial enquiry for a All Inclusive Experience, I'll initially send you an email to find out what you're looking for and make sure we're a good fit for each other. Assuming everything is ok, it's time to confirm your date and do a little bit of paperwork! 

INITIAL PAPERWORK

Once you've booked a Limited Edition Session, or are ready to confirm your All Inclusive Experience,  I'll send you a confirmation email, with quick links to sign the contract and fill in a quick questionnaire  - no messy paperwork to send back! 

All Inclusive Experience bookings will also receive their invoice for their session fee at this stage, payable online or via bank transfer. Payment can also be made by instalments if you wish

2: Ready..... and relax

It can be nerve-wracking when you don't quite know what to expect from your photo shoot. Let me set your mind at ease from all the worries and concerns you have, so you feel confident you and your dog will be happy, comfortable and, most importantly, enjoy the experience!

Once your booking is confirmed, you'll receive a welcome pack by post which is full of information and tips on how to prepare for your photo shoot and what to bring and remember on the day, so do have a good read through the included guides

The questionnaire you fill in with your initial paperwork will help me to understand what you'd like to achieve from your photo shoot and find out a bit more about you and your dog. If you have any concerns, you can add them to the questionnaire and I'll be able to talk them through with you - likewise, if I have any questions as a result of your answers, I'll get in touch with you for us to have a chat about it. 

You're welcome to give me a call or email me at any point in the run up to your photo shoot, if you have any questions or want to check anything. I'm happy to help!


All Inclusive Experiences: Your Pre-Shoot Consultation

Bespoke Experiences include a short 20-30 minute consultation so that we can talk through your vision for your photo shoot, discuss any ideas you have and start to design your personalised experience to capture the memories you want to treasure

Your pre-session consultation is also the perfect opportunity to talk through any concerns and ask any questions - anything from should I have my dog groomed to what if he misbehaves!

This can take place in person, by phone or Skype, although if your dog is particularly nervous of meeting new people I would recommend an in person meeting so you and your dog can get to know me before your photo shoot

3. Capture your Moments

I don't want you to feel like part of a production line!


Your photo shoot is all about you and your dog, capturing those beautiful, bespoke images of his adorable personality and character. We'll have already discussed your dog's character, any quirky characteristics or particular things he does that are unique to him, so regardless of which package you've chosen, we'll have a great session capturing those special memories for you to treasure

4. Love Your Images

A couple of weeks after your session, it's time for you to see your beautiful images for the first time and fall in love! It's so important that you're happy with your choices, so you'll have plenty of time to go through the different images and options and make sure you make the right decision for YOU. I only want you to take home the images you absolutely love!


If you've chosen a Limited Edition Session, you'll be able to view your images via an Online Gallery, where you can also choose your included print(s) and order any additional items.


All Inclusive Experiences include a personal Artwork Consultation to help you shortlist and select the images for your included Artwork Package or products. 


Online Gallery Ordering for Limited Edition Sessions

You'll be sent access details to your Personal Online Gallery approximately 2 weeks after your photo shoot, for you to view your images at your leisure in the comfort of your own home.

You'll be able to select your included images via a simple online ordering system, as well as add on any additional products, wall art or Artwork Packages you may wish to purchase.

If you'd like a little more guidance and support in choosing your artwork, why not upgrade to an Artwork Consultation for £25?  The additional fee will be deducted from your invoice if you go on to place an additional artwork or product order

Artwork Consultation for All Inclusive Experiences

The Artwork Consultation is included as part of your Bespoke Experience, and is a personal service to guide you through the image selection process, stop you feeling overwhelmed by all the different choices and ensure you feel happy and confident with the images you take home

We'll  think about the space you have available, consider which images complement each other and ensure your choices suit both your decor and your budget.

At the end of your Artwork Consultation, you'll have absolute confidence that you've chosen the best way to display your favourite memories at home

5: Treasure Forever

Your bespoke artwork will be ready 4-6 weeks after placing your order, ready for you to treasure in your home and keep those special memories of your beloved best friend strong and close forever


All the images from your session will be kept indefinitely, so you can add to your collection at a later date if you wish, with prices guaranteed for 12 months following the date of your photo shoot
