Capturing the precious memories of your senior dog's golden years
with a Twilight Days Memory Session
Beginning to realise that someday you'll have to say goodbye and your precious moments together will fade to a distant memory?
Now you can cherish those beautiful autumn days you share together and create special, lasting memories that will stay strong and close to your heart forever, with a Twilight Days Memory Session.
There comes a time when life begins to slow down for your dog. He's content with a gentle walk with his favourite humans rather than the long adventures you used to share, and snoozes by the fire replace those madcap games from when he was young.
Your heart bursts with love when you remember all the times you've shared, tinged with the bittersweet realisation that one day, sooner than you'd wish, he's going to gain his wings and will be just a pawprint on your heart.
Although it's hard to think of saying goodbye, you know it will come, and much sooner than you wish or hope it will.
You want to make sure you've got a way to keep all those precious memories strong and close to your heart forever, and not just with the collection of blurry, iPhone images that you've gathered over the years as you've shared so many adventures together
It's not too late.
You can have those precious memories of your Goldie Oldie's halcyon days as he enjoys the autumn years of his life, the special moments that fill your heart with love as you think back on all the magical, fun-filled adventures you shared together when he was young.
With an experienced dog photographer on hand with skills and techniques learned from years of senior dog portraits, the Twilight Days Memory Session gives you the expert assistance to capture those beautiful memories you'll cherish, so that when he eventually passes over the Rainbow Bridge, you'll have a way to soothe your heart and bring back joyful recollections of a well-lived and well-loved life as part of your family.

For those with senior dogs who want to keep those precious memories with their golden oldie strong and close to their heart to treasure forever
The Twilight Days Memory Session booking fee is £495 or 3 instalments of £165
That's up to you - if you're happy with your Desk Frame and Print Ready digital files, you don't need to pay a penny more than the booking fee.
However, if you'd like to purchase additional items such as wall art or an album, these are all sold separately in addition to your booking fee. We can discuss all the options at your Artwork Consultation
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.
The length of your photo shoot will depend on a number of factors, including the health and physical capabilities of your senior dog.
This may mean we need on allow a little longer, or it may mean we keep things short depending on your dog's welfare. It will vary from dog to dog, but as a general rule of thumb, I normally advise you to allow 2-3 hours for the Twilight Days Memory Session, including any set up time.
It normally takes 3-4 weeks from your Artwork Consultation for your artwork 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.
If your Memory Session is time critical due to the health of your dog, I will make every effort for your photo shoot to take place as planned, even if we have to adapt things.
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 upgrade your included Desk Frame to a 16 inch Framed Print absolutely free!

What my clients say
Wendy
Hoomum to 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!
Jess
hoomum to willis & honey
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!
Becky
hoomum to buddy valentino
Sandie was fantastic during our photo shoot with our dog Buddy. She took time to find out about him and what I wanted to capture. On the day, Sandie let Buddy be Buddy! She suggested different settings and background to give us a range of shots and we were really pleased with the choice of pictures.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sandie. A brilliant experience with exceptional pictures
