Seasonal Studio Sessions
Some of the most fun times of the year are when we're celebrating the year's festivals, from Christmas and Valentines to Easter and Halloween. Experience the joys of the seasons with fun Seasonal Studio sessions to capture all the best moments with your dog
The Location
Seasonal Studio Sessions take place in a village hall venue in the Market Harborough area. You will have an exclusive appointment with no other dogs at the venue, in order to minimise distractions and allow you and your dog to relax and enjoy the experience
All Inclusive Experiences can take place in your home or an alternative village hall or indoor location convenient to you
The Themes
There will normally be a theme for your Seasonal Studio session, dependent on the time of year it takes place. Themes include: Festive, Valentines, Spring/Easter, and sessions are normally planned to ensure your photos are delivered in time for the occasion.
Classic Studio portraits (without theme) can be taken on any Seasonal Studio date instead of the advertised theme
All Inclusive Experiences can choose their preferred theme to take place at any time of year
Things you need to know
The venues used for these sessions are secure, so if you wish, your dog can be off-lead and you can remove any collars for their photo shoot. Your dog should be 'dressed' how you would like them to appear in the finished photos (please note any worn collars will not be removed unless you upgrade to Collar Removal Editing).
I do not provide festive/seasonal collars or accessories, so if you wish your dog to wear anything like this, please make sure you bring them with you

Frequently Asked Questions!
These are the most popular questions about booking your photo shoot - but if I've missed anything, let me know!
Limited Edition Sessions take place on set weekday dates during the year, which are advertised on my website. It is normally limited to about an hour
All Inclusive Experiences offer a more personalised experience tailored to your aims and vision for the photo shoot, with the flexibility of choosing a date to suit you. There is no time limit, which is perfect for dogs who are nervous or need a little longer to suss things out
I use a selection of village halls and similar venues for my Seasonal Studio Limited Edition sessions in the Market Harborough area (LE16).
All Inclusive Experience sessions can take place in your home or a village hall or indoor location close to you
You'll view an image gallery from your session, which is normally available 1-2 weeks after your photo shoot takes place. Limited Edition Session Galleries have 6 images, while All Inclusive Experiences have a minimum of 10-15 images (depending on package chosen)
For Limited Edition Sessions, you'll receive one 12x10 inch Premium Mounted Print of your favourite image from the gallery, with matching digital file
All Inclusive Experiences include a 20 inch Wall Art with Deluxe Frame, and a complete set of Print Ready Digital Files ready to download*
*Seasonal Studio is not available on digital only All Inclusive Packages.
Limited Edition Sessions are time limited as I normally have several bookings on the same day. They normally last 45 minutes to an hour
All Inclusive Experiences have no time limit as they are normally my only session of the day. As a guide, they are normally 1.5 to 2 hours, but this may vary depending on your dog
Seasonal Studio Limited Edition Sessions cost £149 or 2 instalments x £74.50
All Inclusive Experiences start from £795 or 3 instalments x £265
That's up to you - if you're happy with what's included with your session, 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 in addition to chosen package. You'll get to see some product samples at your photo shoot with online ordering available via your gallery
For Limited Edition Sessions, there's also a one-time offer to buy the whole gallery of Print Ready Digital Files for £247 before your session takes place, saving you a massive 50% on the standard price!
Any additional orders can either be paid in full on receipt of your invoice, or via an instalment plan.
The Artwork Consultation is a personalised service designed to help to choose your favourite images and discover the best way to display them in your home.
If you are considering ordering artwork for your home, I recommend booking an Artwork Consultation to give you guidance and support in choosing the right products and artwork to suit your decor and budget.
Limited Edition Sessions and Digital only All Inclusive Experience Packages incur a booking fee of £25 for the Artwork Consultation. If you go on to place an additional product order, this £25 will be deducted from your invoice.
All Inclusive Experience packages where artwork is included will have the option to book an Artwork Consultation at no additional cost
It normally takes 4-6 weeks from your order date for your artwork to be delivered to me for checking (albums may take longer).
If you're paying via instalments, digital files and artwork orders are delivered once the instalment plan has been completed. If you've paid 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 Desk Frame absolutely free!
In addition, Limited Edition Sessions have an additional guarantee due to the time limit which is in place. If your dog is unable to settle to the point that I can not capture any photos of them, I'll credit your booking fee towards a All Inclusive Experience (on a date of your choice) to give them the additional time they need to relax.
What My Clients Say
Kate & Stanley
You showed great patience and are comfortable to be around, and really understand dog behaviour so can create fantastic shots!
Really loved Stanley's photo shoot!
Wendy & Frank
Sandie is a patient, kind and friendly photographer, understanding of dogs' needs. The whole experience was lovely and I liked being able to see the images via Zoom so we didn't have to travel back.
The photographs were beautiful and the Show Box was absolutely stunning. Hope to have some more photos done in future!
Lynn & Poppie
I was a bit hesitant as Poppie is very timid around people she doesn't know. I shouldn't have worries, Sandie had Poppie eating out of her hand within minutes of meeting her.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, I certainly would recommend Sandie to everyone with furbabies. Thank you again!
