Capturing those first precious moments as puppy becomes part of your family
and treasure them forever...
Worried that your fleeting puppy days will pass by and fade into distant memories far too quickly?
Now you can keep those precious early days you share together strong and close to your heart long after your puppy has grown into your beautiful best friend for life, with a Pawfect Puppy Experience
When a new puppy arrives there is SO much you have to deal with – from toilet training to crate training and beginning to teach them the basic skills to stand them in good stead for life
It’s all too easy for these slightly crazy, sleep-deprived early days with the newest member of your family to fly by in what seems like a matter of moments, and before you know it, puppy is already halfway to being full grown and all you have are a smattering of blurry, iPhone images as you’ve tried and failed to get puppy to pose.
Perhaps you just think you’ll wait until puppy is older and better behaved, even though there’s a lump of regret in your heart that you won’t have those gorgeously cute puppy moments to look back on and treasure.
Don’t despair.
You can have those precious memories of puppy’s very first days with you, the special moments that make you go “aww” and melt your heart when you look back and remember how small he once was.
With an experienced dog photographer on hand with skills and techniques learned from years of puppy portraits, the Pawfect Puppy: My First Photo Shoot package gives you the expert assistance to capture those beautiful memories you want to cherish from the early days as part of your family and will make your heart leap with joy.
There's no need to lose sleep about puppy peeing on the backdrops or chewing the props - a specialist dog photographer has seen it all before. Enjoy this celebration of those precious puppy days with the knowledge that even if those little accidents do happen, it won't detract from your crazy-happy experience of puppy's first few weeks with you.
And you'll always be able to look back n those early days and remember how small puppy was - keeping those memories strong and close to your heart forever.

That's up to you - if you're happy with your included package and Print Ready digital files, you don't need to pay a penny more than the package price.
However, if you'd like additional prints, products or artwork, these are all sold separately. You'll get to see some product samples at your photo shoot with online ordering available via your gallery. There is no pressure to buy anything extra, and I keep all the images from your gallery indefinitely, with prices guaranteed for 12 months from the date of your photo shoot
Any additional orders can either be paid in full on receipt of your invoice, or via an instalment plan.
Please note: the locations I suggest for your photo shoot are either free to use or I have an annual permit, but if you prefer a specific location, please be aware that any permit fees will be payable by you in addition to your booking fee.
If the location of your photo shoot is more than 20 miles from my address (LE16), a travel fee may also apply
The length of your photo shoot will depend on a number of factors, including things like the age of your puppy and how they get on with being in front of the camera.
As a general rule of thumb, I normally advise you to allow a couple of hours, including any set up time.
If you choose a package which includes artwork or you purchase additional artwork items, it normally takes 4-6 weeks from your Artwork Consultation for your order to be delivered to me for checking.
If you're paying via instalments, artwork orders are delivered once the instalment plan has been completed. If you've had in full on receipt of invoice, your order will be delivered as soon as I've checked everything is correct.
If your photo shoot is due to take place outdoors, there's always a chance it could be affected by the weather!
If we've got torrential rain, soaring temperatures or freezing conditions that mean it's not suitable for your photo shoot to take place, we can simply reschedule for a new date at no extra cost.
There absolutely is! I guarantee that you'll LOVE your images - and if for any reason you don't, I'll give you a complimentary reshoot AND I'll throw in a complimentary Desk Frame absolutely free!
Rescheduling Your Booking
If you need to reschedule your photo shoot for any reason, just let me know and I'll be happy to transfer you to a new date which we'll mutually agree. The following fees will apply to all rescheduled sessions:
First Reschedule requested more than 48 hours prior to session date/time - no charge
Subsequent Reschedules OR less than 48 hours notice - £30 rescheduling fee
Cancelling Your Booking
After you book with me, you have a 14 day cooling off period as per the Consumer Contracts Legislation. Your cooling off period commences from the date you pay your booking fee, and if you cancel during this period you will be entitled to a full refund, providing no part of the service has been delivered.
Once the cooling off period has lapsed, the following cancellation charges apply where no part of the service has been delivered
Cancellation more than 7 days prior to the first session date: £50 administration fee
Cancellations less than 7 days prior to the first session date: 50% of the booking fee
WHERE PART OF THE SERVICE HAS BEEN DELIVERED
If part of the service has already been delivered when you cancel, you will be charged cancellation fees pro-rata to the services you have already received. This may apply if you have had your Pre-Shoot Chat or one or more sessions in a multi-shoot package has been delivered. Details of the pro-rata charges can be found on your contract, or provided on request.
Additional Artwork orders are considered bespoke and therefore excluded from any right of cancellation once paid for.

What My Clients Say
Thanks Sandie for the beautiful photos of Ruby - we never dreamed she would stay in one place long enough for you to take them at 16 weeks old. But she did, after a play, a few treats and the calmness around her.
Your work is the best from set up to finished products. Thank you again, we now have photos we can treasure forever
Sandie was awesome to work with from the start. She was patient and my dogs adored her - the photographs she captured perfectly highlight my dogs' characters. It will be something to treasure forever.
She's a dog person too, not 'just' a photographer!
Every image has been stunning and really capture the character of my boy.
Sandie always ensures the dog is in charge, waiting for him to get to know her, not forcing him to pose and having plenty of patience waiting for him to be ready and willing to engage with the photo shoot
Still not sure?
Let me 'Give You a PAW' with a 20-minute informal chat and virtual cuppa - it's absolutely FREE with no obligation or pressure to book if I'm not the photographer for you!
P is for Personality - let's see if we get on and if we're a good fit for each other
A is for Aims - share your vision for the photo shoot and what you'd like to achieve
W is for Worries - we can talk through any concerns you may have
At the end of the call, you'll have absolute confidence about whether a Pawfect Moments Experience is right for you (or not!)
